A Fast Track Value Analysis Methodology for Major Design-Build Construction Projects

摘要

Use of the value analysis (VA) methodology as an integral part of the design/build process, will eliminate unnecessary functions (The basis of VA methodology), will reduce initial and life cycle costs, compress construction schedules (saving time and money) while retaining the core principals of preserving value and function. The fast track VA session described in this case study will illustrate that the concepts and methods used for the Orange County Convention Center, Phase V Expansion, further reinforces the need for continued use and even increased use of the VA methodology in the design-build concept.
