ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Project Insights, PMA experts Rick Johnson and Jeff Plant join host Bryan Ritch to explore why value engineering (VE) remains a vital tool for successful infrastructure delivery. Drawing on decades of experience, they explain how true VE goes beyond cost cutting by using a structured, function‑driven approach to improve performance, constructability, and lifecycle value. Through real project examples, the conversation highlights how fresh perspectives and multidisciplinary teams can challenge assumptions and unlock significant savings. Rick and Jeff also discuss common barriers to early VE adoption and why applying VE sooner (not later) leads to better outcomes for owners navigating rising costs and complexity.
