At the heart of the SVS approach is an optimized workshop agenda that is strictly adhered to. This enhances value team productivity and ensures that all the team’s work is completed on time. A key difference between our approach and that of our competitors is the intense, focused management of workshop time and activities.
Our studies normally target the best long-term value for the client by using the most appropriate of available life cycle cost (LCC) analysis methods. At a client’s request, however, we can conduct studies that zero in on immediate cost savings. Recommendations developed in our studies include analysis of combined capital and annual cost impacts to ensure the best value for money expended. They routinely address issues such as operability, maintainability, operations, security and safety, environmental impact, staffing, aesthetics, impact on neighbors and public and political acceptance.
Our value studies follow a facilitated six-step creative thought process depicted below, focused on distilling complex problems to their essential elements, and developing solution scenarios aimed at determining the best value model, supported by economic analysis and metrics. A value report is then generated which documents our recommendations for optimizing the client’s return on investment in the project. SVS Value studies meet SAVE International Standard requirements.
