Problems and Activation Measures of Public Construction VE(Value Engineering)

The purpose of this study is to suggest problems and activation plans for each stage in the construction VE system as an improvement plan for the operation of construction VE in construction project management, and to conclude by revising the laws and operation guidelines to perform actual construction VE. The activation plans for each stage are as follows. 1) In the preparatory phase (Pre-study Phase), specialized education for construction VE is strengthened, and VE is performed by those with top-level technical engineers and those with education and certification qualifications from specialized educational institutions such as the Korean Society of Engineers, and the professionalism of projects is strengthened through data collection, collaboration between VE officials, and sharing of goals and scope. 2) In the analysis phase (VE-Study Phase), data performance is secured by holding functional analysis and brainstorming sessions through functional analysis, cooperation and information sharing among experts, process and field-specific evaluation and technique application, and utilizing software tools. 3) Third, in the execution phase (Post-Study), proposal presentation and adoption method education, follow-up action plan and VE data are systemized, and a roadmap is set for providing incentives for VE proposals and evaluation management. 4) Quality improvement is sought through reporting and feedback on construc tion VE activities to clients, etc. 5) Efforts should be made to ensure that the construction VE report is completed, its on-site applicability and actual construction VE are reflected in laws and guidelines, and that actual construction VE is carried out.
