The ultimate one day team effort to challenge the value of your project.

A VE Workshop is a very pragmatical and effective way to apply Value Engineering (VE). We use the core principles of the succesful methodology, but translated it into a hands on approach. This makes it possible to improve the value of projects significantly, with a relatively short time investment. The core principles are the assembling of a multidisciplinary team, the focus on “actual needs” (functions) and the way of generating ideas.

Value is performance diveded by cost​

Value = Performance ÷ Cost

Value Engineering

Value Engineering is a systematic and structured approach to improve projects. It helps achieve balance between required functions, performance, quality, safety, and scope with the cost and other resources necessary to accomplish those requirements. The proper balance results in the maximum value for the project.

The history and background

For a broad view on the history and background of Value Engineering we would like to refer to the premier international society devoted to the advancement and promotion of Value Engineering, SAVE International®.

The VE Workshop

Based on this successful method, we developed a very pragmatic workshop which helps you to improve the value of your project with a relatively short (1 to 1,5 day) team effort.
