Concept and Techniques of Value Engineering in Construction Industry in Sudan

Abstract

The value Engineering is a modern sciences which is suitable for the developing countries especially like , Sudan, which witnesses critical crucial economic situations, value engineering is concerned with providing and finding suitable alternatives, minimizing the costs, focusing on the main features and preserving the quality of the projects. The study used a questionnaire for the collection of the data. The sample included a hundred participants. The data was analyzed by means of SPS. The study found out that, the engineers in the construction sector have good knowledgeable of value engineering in the organizations of construction but They don’t apply this value engineering in their organizations. The study found out that the targeted sample, uses, same of the methods and techniques of value engineering individually, based on their cumulative experiences and individual skills. The research concluded that the construction sector organizations were not interested in establishing value engineering management . The study made a questionnaire include of hypotheses which the researcher wants to answer, and the sample distribution in the research field (hundred)samples and restoring of (eighty four) the valuable/valid questionnaire (seventy nine) the questionnaire which analyzes, and the showing of the results has been made by diagrams or charts (then the analysis by statistical program/software (spss) The study aimed to the constructions organizations in both sectors governmental and private, the Sudanese universities (Engineers whether consultant, contractor and clients) . The study focuses on the top management for those organizations for the importance of the experience factor in the value engineering. VI The study found out that, the engineers in the construction sector has a Highly knowledgeable of value engineering in the organizations of construction which doesn’t apply this value engineering in their organizations The study also found out that the targeted sample, use some of methods and techniques of the value engineering individually, accordingly to the cumulative experiences and individuality skills. The research concluded the construction’s sector organizations were not interested in establishing value engineering management. The research found out that the training is one of difficulties that face to apply value engineering. The research found out that more than (eighty eight %) the most important time to make value studies is feasibility study and design stages.
