Held on September 5th, 2018, the first-ever Value Engineering Summit brought together government bodies, private developers, main contractors, subcontractors, consultants and technology providers to address the key issues and topics around the implementation of value engineering during the construction process and across an organisation.

Moderator and Summit Chair, Sameer Daoud, leads a discussion about the enormous benefits value engineering can have across the board when correctly applied to the construction process. With the process resulting in lower design costs and better construction sequencing of a project, while decreasing the overall expense, this discussion will be of interest to developers, consultants and contractors in this time of tight budgets and margins.

Moderator Barry Wormald leads a discussion that aims to resolve how Value Engineering can help government clients, consultants and contractors can achieve maximum results and generate added value on a project, while also encouraging innovation and out-of-the-box thinking, for the overall benefit of the project delivery schedule.

David Clifton leads a discussion about how software and hardware can be utilised across the various stages of construction to achieve the best results in the Value Engineering process.
