Abstract
Value Engineering is the systematic application of recognized techniques by a multi-disciplined team which identifies the function of a product or services, establishes a worth for that function, generates alternatives through the use of creative thinking and provides the needed functions to accomplish the original intent of the project, reliably and at the lowest life cycle without sacrificing project requirements for Safety, Quality, Operations, Maintenance and environment. The essential difference between conventional cost cutting and Value Engineering is that it involves reducing the cost by improving the functionality through lesser consumption of energy in terms of manpower, material and machinery. The main aim of this case study is to improve a function of a Residential building by possibility of cost reduction. This study is limited to the particular project only. This paper covers role of value engineering as a Job Plan technique. After applying VE in project it reduces 2.01 % cost of overall project and building function can also be improving.
