VALUE ENGINEERING
During Construction we are running to the budget issues.
Going through value engineering let you save money and time without compromising qualities and schedule of your project.
VALUE ENGINEERING
Glazing industry is growing and new technical capabilities let create better products with wider range of the performance and structural possibilities. Here at GlassAround we are putting those components together to achieve the best result at the best price.
Value engineering become critical part of any project.
It can be store front or windows, facade elements or glass. Those elements is main part of any construction with curtain technical possibilities and specific budget numbers. Moreover it is critical elements in facade design and interior element detail. The critical part to look at this as the whole to achieve better results.
Nothing is possible without successful planning.
This process includes all the stages but not limited to. It is reviewing entire architectural blueprints. Define project scope of work. Looking for the opportunities. Make sure we utilize best practise in the industry.
We must not forget what is value engineering meaning. Some people see as the simple cutting a cost. While it is not always true. If look into the history and real meaning of value engineering it came from different base than cost. It was substitute unavailable items or components with available on the market. The result of this process lead to the same or even better final product with different components. Sometimes the cost is critical part of it but the main core is performance and quality of the final product and the process to achieve final results. Through evaluation process people start to apply this concept to see if they can minimize the cost without compromising the quality of the system or product.
Especially glazing industry let use many different type of glass that have very similar technical data. However the cost can be significantly different. Additionally the size of the components is very critical while glass under 50 sq feet can cost 50% less than the glass over that size. Just by dividing the glass 90 sq feet unit into two separate units you will save on you project 50% on material and additional 20% on handling and installation without compromising the technical specs of the project.
Glazing industry is complex of products that will be used in the new construction or renovation. We have to look on overall number to satisfy local requirements.
Today local code becomes very demanding. Energy code as U- Value and SHGC getting higher and higher every day. The same rules apply to OITC and STC. During review of those numbers it is more easy to increase the performance of the system and minimize the cost of the glass to achieve those requirements or vise versa.
While we review the building we have general data to see how heavy the system must be applied to withhold the wind load pressure and adjust the system components to achieve those objectives.
Our goal to combine all elements and deliver the best options and proper products to our clients and create proper foundation for the next steps. It can be shopdrawings, consulting reviews or engineering evaluation. Value engineering is invaluable part of today construction.
