VE at Scope Time (VEST): Three construction examples
Value Engineering at Scope Time (VEST)'' was published in Value World, January-February-March 1991. That article describes VEST as a four-phase process utilizing the heart'' of VE methodology, which is designed to be used with members of construction design teams to help them focus on the scope of work by doing cost modeling, function analysis, brainstorming and evaluation of ideas. With minimal training designers, architects and engineers can become energized to find creative design solutions and learn an effective, synergistic team approach to facilities design projects using VEST. If time is available, the team can begin the development of some higher ranked ideas into preliminary proposals. This paper is an expansion of that article, adding a brief section on training and presenting three examples of VEST on construction projects at a federally-funded research Laboratory.
