The current VE activity is recognizing the VE object selection in job-plan simply as formal procedure. Therefore, many problems are happening in the process of selecting VE object during the preparatory stage. As a result of trying to analysis problems through literature review and expert interview, the problems were surveyed such as the lack of connectivity between preparatory stage and analytical stage, the temporal cost-based restrictions, and lack of recognition in VE team members in the existing method of selecting subjects centering on the high-cost field. Accordingly, this study suggested the improved method of selecting VE objects in order to solve this problem in the stage of selecting VE objects. An improvement method of selecting VE objects is what selects the secondary VE subjects by applying again Fish-Bone diagram and Worth technique based on the primary VE objects, which were selected by the conventional technique of selecting objects in the high-cost field. To verify effectiveness in the proposed improvement method, it tried to apply it to the actual case of the road construction VE project. As result of, the improvement method was analyzed to be considerably effective in comparison with the existing selection method of VE objects. Therefore, the Improvement method will contribute to increasing the VE performance.

Value Engineering (VE) is an organized process with an impressive history of improving value and quality. VE can be applied to the construction projects with having good study results. The VE study in construction projects gives identification of opportunities to remove unnecessary costs while assuring quality, performance, reliability, and other factors will meet or exceed the clients needs. VE techniques can save money, reduce time, and improve quality, reliability, maintainability, and performance. VE can also make improving of human factors (altitudes, creativity), and team work. According to the results of VE study in recent USA, 5∼35% reduction in initial costs have been made for the construction projects (ROI ranges : 100∼1000). To have successful work results, if possible, VE study shall be considered at project planning stage or basic design stage later than field work stage with application of VE JOB PLAN, multi-disciplinary approach, and proper techniques in respective study phases (pre-workshop / information gathering / function analysis / creativity / judgement and evaluation / development / presentation and implementation) among the detail techniques in many.

Function analysis and idea creation phase in Value Engineering(VE) Process is applied to manufacturing Industry for developing functions for elements of products, and in construction come to use various components like process, size of project, spaces as well as function itself due to multi-functional aspect. For this reason, VE applications to the construction industry are considered to be less frequent and efficient than to the manufacturing. To resolve this problem, a new technique of Function Integration Fast(HI FAST) and Hierarchical Value Engineering Concept Modules(HVECM) was made for practical integration and sequence of VE job Plan. Two types of function would be defined In this method, first and second function, during the job Plan process, and two function champions be selected for next creation phase process. For verification of consecutiveness of function analysis and idea creation phase for successful VE project implementation, this methodology was tested under design phase in office and IT Multi-functional building project. Make sure the successful application of this process with this method, need to develop the talent of VE experts and team members for process of function analysis and creation phase.

Design VE (Value Engineering) has been basic design and implementation design separately, but due to the recent change in guidelines, it is changing to implement only once in the implementation design stage. However, in the implementation design stage, construction costs, plans, and specifications based on the volume details are almost completed. Therefore, it is effective to perform the function analysis step after identifying information analysis and key issues through CostModeling based on functional center for the selected target in the process of implementing the VE performance procedure.

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.

It is the important accurately to identify the needs of our customers in order to success the project. Requirements in the early stages of business is very abstract or not quantitative, and that will cause problems such as cost or schedule changes. Particularly many people are likely to prefer the early stages of the project, because the time of applying VE related cost savings is important. Owner's requirement analysis for project success in the VE process does not easy, and specific ongoing management of the requirement is difficult. Therefore, the analysis and the application of owner's requirements is limited in project process. The purpose of this study is proposed to the RFM technique to supplement the functional analysis on the basis owner's requirements analysis in planning a building project.

Domestic construction firms make every effort to save cost and, contrarily, enhance quality for competitive advantage in the market. Structural work of building construction takes chaise of the total cost and schedule, thus elaborate planning and management of the work help to lead the project into a successful way. Therefore, the idea to save time and cost and enhance constructability securing quality and safety of the work should be developed after analyzing the designed documents and site conditions comprehensively in the initial construction planning phase. Value Engineering (VE) technique is introduced in the substructural work in this paper to save cost creatively and systematically in the design and construction phase. A practical VE model that is applied to the underground building work systematically is proposed to save cost and it applies to the actual project to confirm the effectiveness of the model.
