The process of delivering built assets has become fragmented.As a result, value is diluted at every stage.. Design to Value – a unifying approach.The most efficient route to the most efficient solution is first to make sure you analyse and understand a project from every angle.

Maximising the value of an asset is finding the right balance of a wide range of criteria.. Design to Value is well understood and applied in the manufacturing industries.It leads to objective analysis of every aspect of a process, every element of resource requirement, energy consumption, knowledge, and cost.

It leads to testing of the value parameters each of these elements is being measured against.
