Value Engineering

Value engineering is not about cutting corners: it's about creating opportunities to save costs and maximise value.  At FDS Consult, we believe that these goals can sit comfortably alongside a clear and uncompromising emphasis on safety and we've proved that to be the case time and time again.

Our innovative approach to value engineering can help you save money on systems costs, build costs, design modifications and build programme.  We don't just look at what we can put into the building to make it safer, we also look at what we can take out and often that results in more saleable space, increasing the value of the scheme.

How do we do this? By thinking creatively about how best to enhance the building's safety rather than adhering rigidly to code and by bringing in our knowledge of best practice from around the world.  That's why we're consistently able to justify increased travel distances, simplified ventilation systems and removal of expensive fire systems from the specification.

We understand that a building doesn't have to be more expensive in order to be safer. That principle lies at the heart of our innovative approach to fire engineering so, for us, cost savings are an integral part of the process.
