Optimizing Design, Minimizing Waste and Improving Performance
Alan Laing, Laing and Associates
Duncan Prahl, IBACOS
This joint presentation by Alan Laing, one of the industry’s leading consultants, and IBACOS Research Manager Duncan Prahl shows that Value Engineering has come to mean a lot more than standardizing a home’s design or cutting waste.
VE extends to whole home integrated design, negotiating with manufacturer partners, maximizing a home’s performance for the lowest cost and even planning for how to market the higher performance features that can come out of the VE process. Attendees identified effectively training a sales team to sell high performance homes as a VE hot spot.
