Meaningful preconstruction services bring value, potential cost savings, and informed decision-making to the client while eliminating surprises to provide you with a predictable outcome. We take the value analysis process very seriously, thinking outside the box to achieve your goals with your budget and project needs in mind.

​

For each value analysis suggestion, we prepare a comparative value study that includes an assessment of cost and schedule impacts. We offer a comprehensive breakdown of alternatives that weigh the cost implications and take into consideration the operational costs, product durability, and ease of operation for each suggestion.

​

We use proven methodology and experience to bring you the most accurate cost estimates, including:

​

• Calling upon recent H & E Development projects for comparison

• Utilizing relevant and regional bid information

• Ensuring that we are accounting for temporary measures (and ICRA & ILSM compliance in health care related projects)

• Incorporating comprehensive phasing plans that could impact project cost and duration

• Pricing a variety of options to streamline the decision-making

• Breaking down the estimates by system or program area

• Using forethought to present options that do not limit future plans

​

​
