We know, the moment we are faced with multiple choice options, doubts assail us and questions about which solution or choice is the best duplicate. This does not happen with Value Analysis.
One of our key services isValue Analysis (VA), which together with Value Engineering (VE)provides objective, data-driven assessments of projects, enabling our clients to make informed decisions that optimize both cost and functionality.
What is Value Analysis?
Value Analysis is a systematic approach to improving the “value” of a project by examining its components and processes to ensure maximum function at the lowest possible cost. The concept, originally developed during World War II by General Electric, focuses on substituting less expensive alternatives without compromising quality or performance.
Our methodology
In id 11, our VA service is structured around a well-defined process that includes several critical steps:
- Information phase: we collect comprehensive data on the project, including design specifications, functional requirements, and cost constraints. This phase establishes the basis for identifying potential areas for improvement
- Creative phase: our multidisciplinary team generates innovative solutions to meet project requirements more efficiently. This phase encourages out-of-the-box thinking to explore a wide range of possibilities
- Evaluation step: we rigorously evaluate the proposed alternatives based on their feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and potential impact on the project. This step ensures that only the most viable solutions advance
- Development phase: selected alternatives are further developed into feasible plans. Detailed cost-benefit analyses, life-cycle assessments, and technical evaluations are conducted to support final recommendations
- Presentation stage: final recommendations are compiled into a comprehensive report and presented to the client. This includes detailed explanations of the proposed changes, their benefits and any trade-offs
Benefits of Value Analysis
Implementing Value Analysis in architectural and engineering projects offers numerous benefits:
- Cost reduction: by identifying opportunities for savings without sacrificing quality, Value Analysis helps reduce overall project costs
- Improved functionality: the focus on function ensures that the design meets all requirements effectively, often leading to improvements in performance and usability
- Sustainability: the Value Analysis encourages the use of sustainable materials and practices, aligning with environmental goals and reducing the ecological impact of projects
- Risk mitigation: early identification of potential problems and their solutions reduces the likelihood of costly changes in later phases of the project
