As the cost of construction continues to rise, there is an increasing incentive for agencies to utilize every means possible to complete design and construction projects within budget and the scheduled time frame. Value Engineering (VE) can make a significant contribution toward greater economy by identifying, developing, and implementing alternatives for design, construction, and operation of a facility that best suit the intended use over the entire life cycle of the facility. When used properly by experienced specialists, VE is a tool that can help management gain the desired results within the constraints of time and cost.

Sunland has Certified Value Engineers and Specialists who work with experienced architects; civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers, plumbing specialists, estimators, schedulers, construction managers, inspectors, and administrators, all with practical experience working on large and small design and construction projects.

Sunland provides expert scheduling services using Primavera P6. Our schedulers are experienced in creating detailed Master Schedules and updating them throughout the design, bid, and construction phases.

This approach - along with maintaining clear communication with project stakeholders and contractors - ensures that the Project Manager and Owner have up-to-date information enabling them to respond quickly to any potential issues, keeping the project on schedule and within budget.

During construction, we utilize a computerized critical path method (CPM) schedule that combines all work activities and resources and identifies all major project milestones for each team member. Sunland schedulers routinely review contractor schedules to ensure our client’s success. In addition to development of detailed schedules, Sunland also has experience providing forensic scheduling and support for claims resolution.
