Constructability and Design Review; Value Engineering Clause Samples
The "Constructability and Design Review; Value Engineering" clause establishes procedures for reviewing project designs to ensure they are practical to build and cost-effective. Typically, this involves periodic assessments by the contractor or a third party to identify potential construction challenges, suggest design improvements, and recommend alternative materials or methods that could reduce costs without compromising quality. The core function of this clause is to enhance project efficiency and value by proactively addressing design issues and optimizing construction processes, thereby minimizing costly changes and delays during construction.
Constructability and Design Review; Value Engineering. The District reserves the right to conduct, or cause to be conducted, constructability reviews and/or value engineering of the Design Development Documents. If the District elects to conduct either constructability reviews or value engineering, the District shall notify the Architect of the same and the Architect shall submit Design Development Documents to the District for such constructability reviews and/or value engineering. The District and Architect will confer and consult with each other to arrive at mutual understandings and agreements as to which of the constructability review and/or value engineering comments are to be incorporated into the Design Development Documents. The Design Development Documents shall incorporate mutually agreed upon comments and the Architect shall submit Design Development Documents to the District for approval.
