Value Analysis / Value Engineering
Since January of 2008, Walbridge has proposed nearly $350 million in owner savings using our Value Analysis/Value Engineering Knowledgebase. When you hire Walbridge, you get more than the experienced professionals on your team; you get the collective knowledge of the entire company. Estimators and engineers generate cost-savings ideas and enter them into a central database. Our staff receives extensive training for value engineering constructability reviews. Cost-savings ideas are applied across every project and all industries. This information goldmine is used to jump-start the generation of cost-savings ideas and to provide a robust checklist to ensure every idea is considered during the constructability review process. It is a Lean problem-solving approach; it guides the team to look at all options.
When you hire a Walbridge team for your design-build project, you get our Value Analysis/Value Engineering ideas at the very beginning of the partnership enabling us to thoroughly research ideas and apply them from the start. The Construction Industry Institute (CII) has identified lessons-learned reviews as being one of their 24 current best practices.
Walbridge recently provided the Panama City-Bay County Airport Authority $9.8 million in cost-savings ideas for the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport’s new terminal. Through value-engineering, the construction team successfully saved costs without significant sacrifices in the terminal’s size or functionality.
Walbridge passion for safety is the difference between enforcing compliance and active participation.
