Introduction Research Aims and Objectives

The construction industry is a costly industry The research aim to ;-
The construction industry has developed in many countries I. To identify awareness level of value engineering by
using new technologies clarify concept, objectives , benefits, elements and steps,
Value engineering is one of the most important techniques
ii. To identify the importance of application of VE at
which is a systematic method that using function analysis,
team- work and creativity to improve value of a project. Value design stage
Engineering is an effective problem solving technique. Value Research methodology
Engineering can be applied during any stage of a projects Sample selection
design development cycle Questioner Conclusion and recommendations
Data collection
Analysis the data
There is a good level of VE awareness
Result Result VE can be an effective construction industry Management tool.
Conclusion VE can be more effective when it is apply during design stage
the application of VE in Sudanese construction industry is key of success.
