Purpose of Value Management
● Value Engineering & Value Management are systematic team based approach to achieve
better value and cost optimization of project without affecting the performance level.
● In 1980’s value engineering was developed to value management

3. Benefits of Value Management

10. Objectives of VM study
Life Cycle Cost Increase Building
Efficiency
Eliminate Unnecessary
Function
10
All costs incurred
during the whole
lifespan of the
building must be
evaluated and
examined.
Increase rentable
area in hotel so that
client will earn
more revenue from
his business.
Potential savings can
be gained by removing
spaces which do not
bring necessary
functions to the basic
function of hotel.

Design and other crucial
information was obtained
from client and existing
project design team through
interviews
Day 1: Examine the issues of project
Day 2: Study on spatial configuration
Day 3: Study element and components of the
design
Day 4: Transform the ideas into value proposals
Day 5: Finalized and conduct a presentation
Complete report must the
produced within one week

17. Why solid wood door?
Solid wood door guarantee
the guests a perfect room
acoustics by reducing the
external noise amplitude.

18
Function increase, cost decrease

20. Why hollow core slab?
Quality Control
Mixing, pouring and curing
process is done in factory with
ideal conditions.
Labour Efficiency
Less workers required on site.
Weather
Not affected by raining as it is
already casted.
Longer Span
Lesser supporting columns which
act as obstacles
Cast ahead of time
Casting can be done ahead of
time, holding them until they are
needed
Cost Savings
Around 20% cheaper than
cast-in-situ slabs

21. Cost Reduction
Approach
3
21
Function remains, cost reduces

23. Why eliminating skylights?
Overheating
Large amount of
sunlight in Malaysia
which cannot be
controlled to come
through the skylights.
Uncomfortable
Unpleasant glare to
the surface, causing
discomfort for guests
to do activities in
podium.
Cleaning is difficult
A hectic job as it is
located in the roof.
23
Cost
Installation and
maintenance cost of
skylight is expensive.

LED light
Long lifespan
LED light is a energy
saver bulbs and the
consumption of
energy is less
No infrared radiation
LED light do not
produce infrared
radiation which will
lead to eyesight loss.
Energy efficient
Low lighting costs
since they consume
less energy

Plaster & Paint
Inexpensive
Affordable option
Ease of application
In a case where you are painting over
a damaged wall, you can apply primer
paint in advance to applying paint
over a darker colour. This shortens
your preparation time and makes the
process easier.
Universally applicable
It is applicable to any rooms in
hotel, unlike wallpapers cannot
apply in high moisture rooms.
Correcting mistakes
A painting mistake can easily be
painted over creatively. In the case of
wallpapers, rectifying mistakes is
tougher and requires more scrapping.
