Value engineering awareness in construction project management: Bursa province urban transformation projects

Today, the importance of quality and cost balance plays a vital role in the global markets where competition is concentrated. Firms must manage costs effectively while providing high-quality products and services. Innovative approaches and productivity-enhancing strategies are critical to achieving this balance. The importance of cost in construction projects, which are one of the high-cost production sectors, is one of the main determinants of the success of the project. Value engineering awareness that has been used in recent years in construction projects to ensure cost effectiveness and quality is of great importance. This awareness involves the systematic application of value engineering principles to make the most efficient use of resources and reduce costs in construction projects. In this study, the value engineering awareness of architects and engineers today is examined by the survey method in the context of urban transformation projects in Bursa province. The sample group consists of architects, interior architects, landscape architects, civil engineers, electrical engineers and mechanical engineers working on urban transformation projects in Bursa province. While the awareness and applicability of Value Engineering is questioned with this study, it is aimed to reveal the importance of cost and quality balance in urban transformation projects
