Review VE Proposals for Hidden Impacts
Value engineering proposals promise savings—but what are the coordination impacts? AI reviews VE proposals against existing documents to catch conflicts, code issues, and unintended consequences.
The Hidden Risks of VE Proposals
VE proposals are evaluated for cost savings—but who evaluates the coordination impacts?
Cross-discipline impacts
A VE to the structural system may affect MEP routing, fire ratings, or architectural finishes.
Example: Reducing beam depth saves steel cost but conflicts with ceiling heights and duct routing.
Code compliance gaps
Substitutions may not meet the same code requirements as the original design.
Example: Alternate fire-rated assembly doesn't meet the required rating in specific conditions.
Specification conflicts
VE proposals may conflict with existing specification requirements or performance criteria.
Example: Proposed HVAC equipment doesn't meet the efficiency requirements in the spec.
Downstream coordination
Changes ripple through the documents in ways that aren't immediately obvious.
Example: Changing a rooftop unit affects structural support, electrical, and controls.
