Cost-Benefit Analysis

Value Engineering offers a comprehensive and proactive approach to cost control.

Cost Savings
During the Design Phase, Advanced Building Group Inc.'s team will analyze building components and overall systems to provide our clients and architects with design options that maximize cost effectiveness and keep the project within budget.

VE Log
Advanced Building Group Inc.'s pre-construction team will be responsible for scheduling and documenting Value Engineering meetings. A Value Engineering (VE) Log is created as a summary of recommendations backed by detailed cost estimates. Sketches are often included for greater clarification. When developing the VE Log, Advanced Building Group Inc. pays very close attention to the real cost savings and the impact on scheduling and phasing. The Value Engineering Log itemizes suggestions proposed by the following disciplines:

• Civil
• Architectural
• Structural
• Mechanical
• Electrical

Cost-Benefit Analysis
At any point in the Design Phase, Advanced Building Group Inc. can produce cost analyses as necessary for effective decision-making. When a building concept is agreed upon, a control estimate will be developed that is used as a baseline comparison for the remainder of the project. Typically, the control estimate is based on design development drawings where detailed quantities can be determined and cost calculable for quantities.
