Abstract

At abroad, the construction industry is the main area applying value engineering. In China, apart from industry business, the construction industry is the most important area involving the application of value engineering. But a study made by Guangdong construction industry shows that many enterprise managers don't have a clue about the value engineering. At present, the value engineering in construction industry is still at quite a low level. The popularization and application of value engineering in construction industry will make it easier for the construction industry eradicate the problems of long construction period, large waste, poor quality and high cost. Value engineering can make up for the shortcomings of these methods, for it studies allocation of product’s properties and its cost based on its functions, and it emphasizes the organic combination of the improvements of products’ function and the reduction of the cost. As long as the value engineering is practically popularized, the appearance of construction industry is bound to change.
