‘Value engineering issues…’

There are hardly any cheaper luminaires with the same performance.

Lighting problems often become noticeable during or after construction. Lights may fail to turn on, the light color may be incorrect, they may be too bright, too dark, non-dimmable, not visually appealing, or difficult to install. In many cases these issues are caused by value engineering done without designers.

For value engineering purpose, luminaires selected by designers are often replaced with cheaper ones during the process of procurement. It may look similar and okay to replace, but it may cause issues later and may cost you more.

For example, cheaper luminaires tend to have cheap LED drivers, which have a shorter lifespan. Their warranty period are short, too. On the other hand, current LED fixtures do not allow for bulb replacement. So if a problem occurs, it need to be replaced. As a result, the cost can be higher than the case before considering value engineering.

Fewer high-performance luminaires lead to greater cost savings.

We use high-performance fixtures with as few luminaires as possible, designing with a cost-effective approach in mind.

This reduces installation costs, which typically make up a large portion of the lighting budget, and also lowers ongoing operating costs. Additionally, it minimizes unnecessary troubleshooting costs caused by value engineering.

To maintain the lighting design approved by stakeholders, we offer procurement services as needed. If value engineering is still required, we review alternative luminaires and may adjust the design to reduce unnecessary expenditure.
