Value Management
DLPKS have been developing Value Management techniques in Ireland over the past number of years. These techniques are incorporated into the standard service that DLPKS provide on all projects and include understanding the client brief, identifying the main functions of the project and reviewing all of the alternative designs that fulfill these functions. This approach allows our clients to make informed decisions and ensures that maximum value for money is achieved. In addition to this DLPKS have facilitated a number of formal value engineering workshops. Martin Andrews, a partner with DLPKS, has trained as a Value Engineering Facilitator in the UK and has worked with DLE on developing this service for the Irish market. Recent projects on which Martin has facilitated workshops include St Ita's Hospital in Portrane and Crumlin Hospital for Children. These workshops generated creative design solutions and improvements which were presented to the client for decision. This approach promotes quality, efficient design and helps to achieve maximum value for money
