Back to value engineering
Of course, in a broader sense, value engineering should always be embraced, even in boom times. It is always a good practice to build efficiently, with results that make best use of energy or water. Whether feast or famine, bringing value engineers into the process early results in better, more valuable buildings.

Many developers now speak of never rushing again, and always turning to value engineers to help visions become realities. Let us hope. Building smart always brings both quantitative and qualitative rewards, and more-sustainable buildings.
