Value Engineering (VE) isn’t just about cutting costs—it’s about maximizing function. True VE happens in the design phase, not when bids come in over budget.
For example, switching from a custom steel storefront to a standard aluminum system can save $50k with zero aesthetic impact. Changing from copper to PEX plumbing in non-exposed areas is another common saver. At D & W Builders, we provide a detailed “VE Menu” to every client during pre-con, allowing you to choose where to spend your budget and where to save.
