VALUE ENGINEERING – Sometimes it is possible, sometimes it is not recommended

If you call us with the sole intention of cutting a large percentage of the cost from the project budget for acoustics, noise and vibration control, it is likely that we cannot or will not help you. There is much more than money involved in every project. If you are not prepared to meet the project’s stated program objectives, why do the project at all?

Very often, achievement of acoustic, noise, and vibration objectives require solutions that come at a significant cost, based upon selection and specification of products that are known to provide a level of performance necessary to do the job. There are always a lot of companies that wish to offer products and services that are “nearly as good” as those that were specified, but usually the difference shows up at a critical performance point. Of course, the costs is always considerably less, but would be considerably more it it was in fact equal to the specified product deemed necessary to do the job. So here’s the question: do you buy what your expert told you that was necessary, or buy something that does much less, for much less money? Bean counters tell you to buy the cheaper product every time, because they really don’t understand the differences. And this is what really hurts projects that “benefit” from “value engineering.

Now there is a better option. Spectra Tech can provide value engineering assistance to your project team in the following aspects of facility design. If there really is a way to reduce costs (or – maybe even, increase performance at no additional cost), we will give you straight answers:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][mk_custom_list style=”mk-icon-caret-right”]
