Value Engineering Concept in Construction Project Management | Book Publisher International

The Value Engineering Concept in Construction Project Management is a systematic and structured approach within the context of construction projects, aimed at analyzing functions to achieve an optimal balance between time, cost, and quality.

 

The Value Engineering work plan consists of several phases, spanning information gathering, creative ideation, meticulous evaluation, iterative development, decisive decision-making, and conclusive recommendations. A series of compelling case studies further enriches the narrative, offering real-world insights into the transformative impact of Value Engineering on construction projects. These case studies underscore the versatility and efficacy of Value Engineering across various contexts, thereby reinforcing its status as a powerful tool for enhancing project value and stakeholder satisfaction.

 

This Value Engineering concept is highly relevant for both academics and practitioners in construction management in Indonesia. It illustrates the practical application of Value Engineering principles in various construction contexts, highlighting the underutilization of Value Engineering concepts in the country. By providing comprehensive insights and practical guidance, this work aims to bridge the gap and contribute valuable information to enhance construction project management practices in Indonesia, emphasizing the importance of achieving efficiency and effectiveness in construction projects through the potential benefits of Value Engineering implementation.

The Obstacles to Promoting the Modular Building Project: A Tentative Assessment of the Literature | Chapter 1 | Technological Innovation in Engineering Research Vol. 6

 

The Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and the global building industry both depend on environmental sustainability. Numerous studies have demonstrated the superiority of modular over cast-in-place construction, which can increase a building's sustainability. However, there have been several roadblocks in the actual creation of modular structures, particularly in underdeveloped nations. The key obstacles to modular building are covered in this essay. An in-depth analysis of the main barriers in local building sectors is provided by numerous past research on the challenges to the development of modular structures. The first five interconnected problems are: greater entry costs; a lack of work experience; a reliance on traditional building methods; difficulty in managing stakeholders; and limited government assistance. To bolster the study's findings and identify potential obstacles, more research on the cultural resistance is required. The study's conclusions could be used to promote modular construction locally, thereby enhancing environmental sustainability significantly.
