Value Engineering Methodology Application Using BIM

Value Engineering (VE) is frequently applied to construction projects for better recognition of project scope and for elimination of unnecessary cost without impacting the functional requirements of individual components of constructed facilities. Despite all benefits of value engineering application, it is not applied in the construction industry in Gaza Strip. This book propose a framework that facilitates VE methodology application using Building Information Modeling (BIM) techniques, through VE job plan phases. The framework provides VE team members with the ability to use an automated programs that consider a wide range of aspects for evaluation and selection of optimum alternatives that satisfy the owners' requirements.
