Value Engineering(VE) Workshop executes many tasks with VE team members from various experts of construction field on the basis of VE Job Plan for a short period of time. However, the VE team members are not useful with using VE information until now because it is not systematic in the accumulation and application of VE information. Especially, these problems constitute the obstacles to communication, reliability and quickness of VE information. It also causes an increase of time and cost at VE Workshop. Therefore, the results of this study suggests the conceptual model of Web-Based Information System for VE(WISE) in order to improve the effectiveness of VE Workshop and solve the problem as is stated above.

VE(Value Engineering) process and techniques are the systematic managerial tool for value engineers to help conduct VE study effectively. However, There is some difference between VE theory and practice in the domestic construction industry. Specially, function analysis appeared to be poorly recognized and regarded even as unnecessary in construction VE. It is needed to identify and enhance the problem areas to upgrade the VE practice. In order to investigate the current VE practice, a comprehensive literature survey and analysis were performed to obtain the trends and problems, related to the process and techniques. In the VE application of the domestic construction project, the study suggests some ideas and future study areas for the effective VE application in the construction industry.

VE is one of the technologies that are essential to promote cost reduction and performance improvement in construction projects. In the VE process, there are very important steps in deciding whether to adopt VE ideas and alternatives or not. However, when examining the possibility of selecting and adopting alternatives, it is difficult to clarify the differences and characteristics of the existing and improved proposals due to lack of understanding of the owner and inadequate consideration of harmonization with the alternative surroundings. In order to overcome these problems, it is necessary to effectively exchange information related to alternatives among VE participants and to examine the applicability of VE alternatives more in-depth. Therefore, in this study, a process for reviewing the applicability of VE Alternatives using BIM based VR was proposed to review more appropriate VE alternatives.

The objective of Value Engineering (VE) is to derive the optimal value at the most efficient life cycle cost, comprising three stages: Pre-Study, Study, and Post-Study. In this study, we propose a method for information collection and analysis during planned site visit surveys in the preparation stage of VE. The 3D spatial model, created using a drone, facilitated observation and analysis of the study area from various angles, both from the center and the outside. Additionally, through the utilization of drones, we conducted on-site investigations of the research area's 3D spatial model, enabling a macroscopic perspective previously only feasible through a microscopic viewpoint during planned site visits in the pre-study phase. Furthermore, the utilization of actual spatial data obtained from observations allowed for real-time information verification during Design VE workshops, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of the VE project.

과거 높은 수익 창출을 통하여 지속적인 상승세를 이어왔던 국내 건설 산업은 계속되는 경기불황으로 건설침체가 가속화 되고, 이로 인해 공공기관 건설공사의 발주물량이 점차 감소되고 있는 실정이다. 건설업은 이제 성장기를 지나 포화기, 더 나아가서는 침체기에 접어들었다는 전문가들의 의견도 나오고 있다. 이러한 상황을 타개하고자 발주기관에서는 예산절감과 품질향상을 도모하기 위해 가치공학 즉, VE(Value Engineering)를 활용하여 예산을 절감하면서 고품질의 건설 목적물을 완성하고 VE를 가치창출을 위한 주요한 도구로 활용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 특히 가치공학이 전기설계 부문에 있어서 적용된 사례를 분석하고 가치향상 방안에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다.

The problem of common difficulties for the implemented business that imposing the Value Engineering(VE) is crucial. Because of the difference in effect of VE by how an abstract concept as function digitize. Furthermore, to improve achievement of VE,, the advancement of VE is demanded. The most of business conducting the VE is pushing this method with the purpose of cost reduction. As explaining this product, the cost occupies the desktop of F1 and the component of product 54% with the result of analyzing the coefficient of functional requirement. Then the functional cost can be confirmed. Through the result of this study, the fact that the desktop, the bluetooth, the probe occupy the most of products with satisfying the function is able to confirm. An effort for cost reduction in purchasing through adjusting a stable quality demanded for the cost reduction is needed. Also, another effort of proper price reduction by diversification of buyer business is needed also.

The contemporary domestic construction landscape has witnessed a contraction, primarily attributed to the operational challenges faced by construction entities and a downtrend in the initiation of new projects. In light of this, domestic construction enterprises are ardently seeking avenues to economize whilst simultaneously amplifying the quality across diverse construction genres. Value engineering (VE), heralded for its prowess in not only cost mitigation but also in accelerating project timelines and bolstering construction quality, has been extensively adopted in refining finishing tasks. However, its application to framework enhancements remains conspicuously limited. Particularly in factory edification, framing emerges as a pivotal process exerting significant influence over the entire construction continuum. Thus, it becomes imperative to integrate VE techniques at the inception phase of framing. This would facilitate a meticulous examination of design schematics and on-site conditions, paving the way for alternative strategies that condense construction durations, economize on costs, and augment work efficiency, all the while upholding paramount standards of quality and safety. Such a venture stands to be foundational in expediting construction timelines, fostering economic efficiency, and buttressing construction safety protocols.

Reports on VE/LCC based coastal structural design were analyzed to derive possible improvement. VE/LCC technique may be effectively applied to making decisions in coastal structural design. However, it has not been well utilized in recent projects for some problems. Therefore, recent project reports on VE/LCC have been analyzed and merits and demerits were classified. Then, the reason why VE/LCC cannot be effectively applied to real projects was drived. Finally, some pre-requisites to improve the technique were summarized.

The Value Engineering(VE) well known as a way of Productivity Elevation is already the proven and outstanding management method in Construction Industry the inside and outside of country. The Value Engineering in domestic, revised by the method of the Construction Technique - Enforcement Ordinance ("the Examination of Design Economy") in 2005, is usually applicable to the Construction Work which cost over 10 billon won. But It is true that there is some differences between theory and reality to apply the Value Engineering in domestic. Therefore the differences are blocking process to enlarge and supply the VE in domestic. In this Study, through a case-analysis of the recently accomplished Design Value Engineering, we give a careful consideration to the problem and cause. And we are inclined to contribute to a successful stay of the Design Value Engineering in domestic as offering the solution about those.

VE analysis is a method to secure definite functions and performance by defining user's various requirements clearly and propose alternatives to reduce cost. However, the present domestic VE project has difficulty in defining design function analysis clearly due to time constraints as well as difficulty in effective and efficient communication between project stakeholder. Domestic results of VE were largely focused on reducing cost while maintaining the functions of the existing facility. Therefore, this study aims to secure the optimal functions for users according to the original intent of user requirements through QFD-VE model which project VE participants can make collective and cooperative decision making. QFD-VE is a technique that first, it can make collaborative decision making in defining and modifying of design function and setting the importance of requirement function. Second, it allow project VE participants to check design interference and conflict between neighbor systems. This study also provided a mathematical model for implementing the computer system using QFD-VE in the future.
