Value Engineering on Road Design Projects

Basic definition of Value engineering is your efforts directed at analyzing designed road features, systems, equipment, and material selections for the purpose of achieving desired functions at the lowest life cycle cost consistent with required performance, quality, reliability, safety and strategy. This program extends functions desired from roads to include alignment to your strategic objectives and to the strategic objectives of your customer/stakeholders. This program also extends Value to include Dollar Equivalents to the benefits that can be gained through moving towards your Strategic Objectives and those of your customers and stakeholders.
