The Value of Value Engineering
Why choose our products
This was a twin office tower project in Vancouver, Canada. Initially, the design was for 13 side-mounted machines, a type that restricted bidder interest and increased costs. Cliff Ayling, Vestergade Construction’s vertical transportation expert, vetted all bids and, over six months, worked with the low bidder to procure a bid recommendation for the supply and installation of 40 elevators. Post award, Cliff collaborated to redesign the equipment specs and fast-track install requirements, saving the project over $6M.
