[§08.01] Value Engineering Concepts in Saudi Megaprojects
Value Engineering (VE) is a systematic methodology aimed at optimizing essential functions to achieve maximum performance at minimum lifecycle cost, fully respecting SBC safety guidelines.
[§08.02] SAVE International Standard 6-Step Job Plan
VE studies execute a standard job plan: Information gathering, Function Analysis, Creative Brainstorming, Evaluation, Reporting, and Implementation to generate optimized design alternatives.
[§08.03] Structural Quantity Reduction & Post-Tension Optimization
Key VE applications include optimizing concrete floor slabs (replacing solid slabs with Post-Tensioned systems) and refining MEP equipment sizing to yield up to 20% direct CAPEX savings.
