If a building project appears to be running in excess of its budget, The Beacon Projects Group can undertake a value engineering study to analyze and explore options that will keep

the job on budget or, if necessary because of overruns, recommend alternatives to lower costs.

Evaluation includes:

• Review of preliminary budget
• Searching for savings during design development stage when major items are being reviewed
• Setting of final budget
• Duration of schedules
• Construction feasibility issues
• Life-cycle costs, including capital, operating, maintenance, energy and systems

Analysis of

• site work
• foundations
• structure
• architecture
• mechanical systems
• electrical systems
• exterior enclosure
• finishes

Recommendations during system review will address:

Construction feasibility

Materials availability

Labor pool

Installation time

Associated costs and economics

 Impact on other building components
