/50 DESIGNER'S INPUT The Design Architect/Engineering firm provides written material for the VE team members to review in advance of the VE workshop. The Designer's staff may also provide a verbal presentation of this material to the VE team as one of the first items of the 40 -hour workshop to accelerate the orientation of the team into the potential alternatives. After the project study workshop, the Designer evaluates the recommen- dations of the VE team and drafts a report on implementation of the VE recommenda- tions. This section is intended as assistance to the Designer's staff in accomplishing their vital input into the VE effort for their project. Information Required from DesigM One of the key elements in a value engineering study is the information and background on the project. Effectively relating this information to toe VE team will make their efforts more productive. Our experience has shown that if the teams are well informed about the background of the study, their efforts will not overlap comparisons already made by the Designer's staff. The following is a listing of data, generally in descending order of importance, that is needed to conduct the VE studies. This material will be discussed and refined if necessary during the orientation meeting conducted with the Designer prior to the first VE effort: • 35% Plans • 35 % Specifications • Project Engineering Documentation (PED) • 35% Cost Estimate • Other Pertinent Background Information Affecting Current Design
