In construction projects, the concept of value engineering allows a Contractor to suggest alternatives to materials, equipment or designs provided by the design professional. This can save the Client money in up-front construction costs or long-term maintenance costs. From a Contractor’s perspective, value engineering may also simplify the construction process; thereby providing a mechanism for saving build time and reducing budget spend.

Catalyst Engineering Ltd welcomes the opportunity for an early involvement in a project to enable us to examine outline designs and impart our knowledge and technical expertise to provide streamlined design solutions to suit all parties. Where possible, even for outline or budget tenders, we will always endeavour to offer our potential Clients a value engineered solution which in some cases has identified such significant savings that our Clients have secured work on the basis of our Value Engineering efforts.

Ever-aware that Value Engineering is a technique for improving value for money, and should not be misused as a cost cutting exercise, Catalyst Engineering Ltd are experienced in working closely with Architects, Engineers, Consultants and Main Contractors with the aim of identifying suitable alternative designs and solutions.
