Project management is a total construction discipline, and not just project planning. It integrates and promotes subdisciplines outside the traditional professions. Part of the project manager's function is to make choices, and the manager needs a control tool to assist in this. Value engineering (VE) is a suitable control tool, because it achieves a balance between the project options. VE is not widely understood in construction, and so, as an interim measure, the use of some easily used subtools is advocated to show whether decisions improve or worsen the project's potential performance. This is termed hybrid value engineering (HVE). A selection of HVE tools is highlighted.
