<br/><br/> Value Engineering is a systematic approach for achieving optimum value for money,  while maintaining or improving quality, safety, reliability and maintainability. It is a  problem-solving technique based on analysis of the project functions demanded by the  owner in order to meet the end users requirement and needs. VE uses multi-discipline  teams to analyze a product design, an engineering concept or a construction approach.  Sustainable construction is broadly created to explain the contribution of the  construction industry to sustainable development. Literature suggests that the key  targets for construction include: environmental impact reduction; cost minimization;  social improvement; economic and cultural quality throughout the whole life of the  project
