Value engineering - Utilities

Tender prices set to soar according to Consultancies such as Arcadis and Turner and Townsend due to inflation

Has the current financial issues impacted the viability of your project?

Do you have a remit or plan to identify and explore value engineering opportunities on utility packages?

Are you confident that you have the optimum solutions for all your utility scope/designs?

Our experience is that Clients and Contractors do not engage experienced and knowledgeable utility consultants early in the project and the utility scope is progressed by the Mechanical or Electrical consultants as an add on to their day job.

This causes all sorts of issues as they are not best placed to apply the rigor and challenge to utility companies to ensure that the optimum solution is achieved.

This can lead to a significant increase in the utility costs, increase the programme durations and negatively impact on follow on trades (& logistics) that could be on or near the critical-path. There are also H&S implications too as your project could be undertaking unnecessary excavations in a busy environment with lots of underground assets.

Do you know that the RICS guidance note advises that under the right circumstances, returns on investment on value engineering activities ranges from 10:1 up to 100:1?
