Abstract:
True value engineering reduces the owner’s cost without sacrificing floor performance, but it’s difficult to value engineer a floor without collecting a substantial amount of information. Information gathering starts with the owner, and will probably also require discussions with the architect, structural engineer, and geotechnical engineer. Although differing amounts of numerical data will be available, depending on the size of the project, other needed information such as owner expectations may be difficult to quantify. A checklist is a valuable tool for gathering both quantitative and qualitative information.
