When it comes to government projects, there is a strict process that has to be followed on both sides. From the construction of a new government building to a road project, the agency typically solicits bids for the completion of the project. In many cases, the agency chooses the lowest “responsible” bidder, so it does help when a contractor can deliver excellent value and results without blowing the price tag out of the water.

One technique that is often used to accomplish this goal is value engineering. As defined by Investopedia, value engineering is “the review of new or existing products during the design phase to reduce costs and increase functionality to increase the value of the product. The value of an item is defined as the most cost-effective way of producing an item without taking away from its purpose.”

As your Maryville commercial construction, we have dedicated ourselves to utilizing value engineering to provide our clients with great value and excellent results with the potential for a lower price tag. As previously mentioned, one of the ways we provide better value is by exploring material alternatives for all our projects, including government ventures.

In many cases, project owners or designers specify products or systems that have been marketed to them. Ultimately, there may be other similar products that they are not aware of, and our experts will be sure to identify those when bidding on projects. Our specialists provide an honest evaluation of the value, quality and life expectancy of every building alternative or solution we recommend. Normally, these building alternatives are cheaper than the premium products requested while still providing the look project owners are looking for.
