Aqua is a great believer
in the benefits of the value engineering process and applies
it to every project. By understanding the client's project objectives
and requirements Aqua aims to challenge conventional design
and specification with a view to:
•
Reducing
costs
•
Maintaining functionality
•
Balancing capital
expenditure against through life costs
•
Selecting tried
and tested manufacturers and products from Aqua's approved
supply chain
Although value engineering can be applied continuously throughout
the project, earlier appointment means greater benefits to the
project as a whole can be achieved.
Aqua's approach to value engineering is collaborative; involving
the client, project team and members of the supply chain. This
approach allows all parties the opportunity to contribute to
the process and provides an opportunity for relationships to
develop. By reviewing the project and the many interfaces between
the trades, potential problems can be highlighted and solutions
agreed prior to commencement of on-site work.
