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.

What AI Catches in VE Reviews

VE proposal conflicts with existing drawings
Specification requirements not met by substitution
Code compliance issues in proposed alternates
Cross-discipline coordination impacts
Performance criteria gaps in or-equal products
Downstream effects on other systems

Why Review VE with AI

Protect Real Savings

Make sure VE savings are real—not offset by downstream coordination costs.

Reduce Risk

Catch unintended consequences before accepting VE proposals.

True Cost Analysis

Understand the full impact of VE proposals, not just the initial savings.

Faster Decisions

AI reviews VE proposals in hours, not days. Make decisions faster.
