VALUE ENGINEERING
Optimize your project without compromising quality.
At Glassaround, value engineering is not just about cutting costs — it’s about delivering smarter solutions, better performance, and long-term value for every client.
🔍 What Is Value Engineering?
Many think of value engineering as simply reducing expenses, but its true purpose lies in enhancing performance while optimizing resources. Historically, this method emerged from the need to substitute unavailable components with accessible alternatives that meet or even exceed the original specifications.
In the glass and aluminum sector, this approach helps uncover smarter combinations of materials, better installation strategies, and alternative systems that balance price, durability, and design.

🧩 How It Works in Glazing
The modern glazing industry offers a wide range of advanced solutions — from high-performance glass to engineered curtain wall systems. But with flexibility comes complexity.
At Glassaround, we begin by reviewing your architectural blueprints and technical specifications. We evaluate factors like:
– Energy code requirements (U-value, SHGC)
– Acoustic performance (OITC, STC)
– Wind load resistance
Then, we identify opportunities to use equivalent systems, suggest design adjustments, or improve material efficiency.
For example, breaking a 90 sq ft glass panel into two smaller units may reduce material cost by 50% and installation cost by 20%, without compromising performance.
This process often leads to better results in follow-up stages like shop drawings, production, and installation.
⚙️ A Smarter Way to Build
Value engineering is essential when working with elements such as:
– Windows and storefronts
– Glass partitions and interiors
We view these as integrated systems rather than separate components. That allows us to align structural performance, compliance, and aesthetics — while remaining cost-effective.
Our approach ensures smarter planning and seamless integration with other services, such as:
