Value Engineering

Professional Value Engineering in the GTA

Konstruction Group provides value engineering services for construction projects throughout Ontario. We identify cost-saving alternatives in framing, steel, insulation, and drywall scopes without compromising structural integrity or building quality. Our recommendations come from hands-on field experience - we know which alternatives actually work in practice and which cause problems.

What is Value Engineering?

Value engineering analyzes designs to find more efficient solutions that reduce cost while maintaining or improving performance. It's not about cutting quality - it's about finding smarter ways to achieve the same result. A well-done VE exercise identifies real savings without creating problems downstream.

Value Engineering Services

• Framing Optimization – Alternative layouts, member sizes, and connection details that reduce material and labor
• Steel Alternatives – Different steel sections, connection types, or structural systems that achieve the same capacity
• Insulation Review – Cost-effective insulation strategies that meet code requirements
• Drywall Assembly Options – Alternative fire-rated and soundproof assemblies that meet specs at lower cost
• Material Substitutions – Equivalent products at lower cost or better availability

When to Use Value Engineering

Value engineering is most effective during design development and early construction documents - before decisions are locked in. However, we can review projects at any stage to identify savings opportunities. Even during construction, material substitutions and method changes can reduce costs if identified early enough. Our accurate takeoff services complement VE by providing accurate quantities for cost comparison.

Our Approach

We review drawings and specifications with practical field eyes. Every recommendation includes cost comparison, potential risks, and implementation notes. We only suggest alternatives we would use on our own projects - no theoretical ideas that sound good but fail in the field.

What We Provide vs. What You Need

• We Provide – Written VE report with alternatives, cost comparisons, and implementation notes
• You Provide – Current drawings and specifications, budget targets, and project constraints
