GH Publishes Casebook on Enhancing Construction Project Value Through Design

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation (GH) has published a casebook compiling excellent examples of enhancing the value of construction projects through the design VE system during the construction design process.

Design VE (Value Engineering) refers to a technique that improves value by reviewing the economic feasibility and on-site applicability of construction design content by function and alternative.

The casebook published this time gathers achievements obtained by improving the design VE operation since 2019, including 46 excellent cases of performance improvement and cost reduction (totaling 12.8 billion KRW) and the system operation procedures.

The discovered excellent cases have been reflected in internal guidelines and management systems so that they can be commonly applied to all project districts.

Since 2019, GH has been comprehensively operating the design VE system through a dedicated organization, which was previously operated separately for each project district.

In addition, by applying improved construction methods reflecting proposals from experts in each field during the design process, GH is realizing high-quality and low-cost designs.

Lee Heon-wook, president of GH, stated, "The design VE system will be applied to various construction fields such as basic housing," and added, "GH will continue to strive to achieve designs that secure both high quality and economic efficiency."
