Value Engineering of Precast Slab to Ease Construction Project Schedule and Cost
The assembly and erection of structures are a part of building construction. With the typical construction approach, there are numerous issues and challenges. First, conventional construction is a linear process requiring each stage to finish before the next can start. As a result, time is wasted and not utilized effectively. The construction process can also be adversely affected by labor and the weather. Adopting Value Engineering (VE) principles encourages individuals to work more effectively in teams while continuously seeking to enhance their production and service systems. Any firm can examine and optimize its resources with cost optimization. The force field analysis technique of VE is used in this paper to evaluate and resolve some of the force factors that affect the construction delays and possible solutions to shorten the construction project by applying a precast slab structure. Using precast slabs on construction is time efficient, requires less construction time, and is more cost-effective than the traditional cast-in-place approach. Force Field Analysis (FFA) proves that strengthening the forces that resist change can contribute to improving and reducing construction costs and schedules.
