IMPLEMENTATION OF VALUE ENGINEERING FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS

Civil Engineering

Value engineering, is a subject about technology and economy helps to improve the function of product or system, sometimes to reduce the cost of both, by following different methods and techniques to meet customer’s requirement about function. The application of value engineering focuses on the design phase of the research of development of the product, which is an important characteristic of value engineering. Infrastructure development in construction industry is a key driver in socio economic development of the country, so it is in need to have proper construction techniques which are cost effective and feasible to meet customer’s requirement. In this research we studied various cost effective construction techniques such as “Gypsum Plastering”, “CLC brick work” and use of modern precast elements of buildings for residential and commercial buildings, It also includes comparison of various design approaches like “mivan shuttering”, and “conventional techniques”, study of alternative materials to minimize cost and specially time of project and simultaneously to improve value of project.
