Value engineering begins with dissatisfaction from an investor or a general contractor or a designer that is working on a project and need to reduce its total cost or time.

Our approach begins with a deep analysis of the actual project to understand all the possible critical area and the restraint given by the specification of the original design. We propose several different modifications on the project to have wide possibilities and discuss with the client to understand the best way to proceed.

In this way, we can optimize construction time, reduce the total cost of the building and obtain the satisfaction of the final client.

Al Wakrah stadium is located in Doha. The client requested our Value Engineering services with the scope:

• to minimize the cost keeping the architectural conception layout
• standardized solutions and maximum prefabrication to minimize construction time
• brief time construction
• optimize the pitch view from the stands

To reach the requested results, the global shape of the stadium was revised with a reduction of total roof area maintaining the original and peculiar shape of the structure. The size, dimension, and inclination of all the stands were accurately redefined to obtain the final goal and all the glulam beams were replaced with steel elements.

The Red Sea Project is located in the coastal area between Umluj and AlWajh, in the Red Sea, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Value engineering request is related to:

• minimal environmental impact on the surrounding biodiversity and sensitive habitats
• standardized solutions and maximum prefabrication to minimize construction time
• future disassembly at the end of the design life with minimal environmental impact
• brief construction time
• reduce total cost

Solutions adopted during the design:

• the increment of span length, from 12 to 44 m
• the global reduction in steel weight
• reduction of foundation piles number
• optimization of the method statement
