Within the original scheme the design team had used considerable ingenuity to design an expansion in the boiler house facility around the constraint of the existing buildings. Advantages and disbenefits of the value engineering study A value engineering study is seen as being effective by reason of: & & & The generation of alternative technical solutions to a problem that has been costed in initial and life cycle cost terms. The fixing of a date for the completion of a sketch design. Although not a function of the study, it has been stated that the setting of a date for the study forces the design team to complete to a more advanced stage than would otherwise be achieved particularly by the engineering designers.

The project would have reached sketch design and, while the team might address level 2 issues, in the absence of a client representative the team would be more likely to be concerned with levels 3 and 4. The absence of the client would indicate that the client's value system is embedded in the design to date. This was seen as potentially adversarial but is objective and with the opportunity for technology transfer. However, the implementation rate of potential savings could be low and there is a danger that quality could be compromised.
