摘要：Value Engineering (VE) concept does not mean a cost reduction only, but it extends beyond. VE is apowerful problem-solving tool that can reduce costs while maintaining or improving performance and qualityrequirements. It's a function- oriented, systematic team approach to providing value in a product or service.Construction project as a product or service is generally considered to have good value if this product or service hasappropriate performance and cost. The construction product's characteristics differ than those in manufacture in manyaspects such as immobility, complexity, durability, cost lines, and high degree of social responsibility. Thesecharacteristics are highly affected by the construction technology. Where, adopting these new technologies andworking method in proper work environment can maximize the product with a working time reduction by 25% and costreduction by 20% in average. Slip Form (S.F) is considered one of these common methods of construction. Anassessment of the S.F includes productivity, appropriate speed in addition to auxiliary resource combinations. Thisresearch aims at create awareness of VE, and demonstrated the benefits gained when it applied to construction projects.
