dc.description.abstractValue engineering (VE) is a structured team-oriented problem solving approach that can be applied throughout the lifecycle of a building project. However, the methodology is rarely applied in mechanical and electrical services (M&E) installations in buildings because clients are not aware of the potential benefits of adopting VE and different members of design team lack the requisite knowledge about VE methodology. As a result, a great deal of unnecessary cost is created due to the increasingly complex nature of M&E services in buildings leading to cost overruns and unhappy clients. The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of adoption of VE methodology in the design and installations of M&E services in buildings in Malaysian construction industry. The research method adopted is questionnaire survey to industry practitioners and inferential statistics was adopted for data analysis. Findings from the study show that, VE is not well appreciated in the industry and there is no structured approach adopted for its adoption for the procurement of mechanical and electrical services. Practitioners are of the opinion that implementation of VE could lead to: significant capital and life cycle cost savings in buildings generally; alignment of stakeholders and construction process improvement; improved client satisfaction, and shared understanding among key participants. An implementation framework was developed which emphasised on the need for early involvement of consultants and collaboration between the downstream supply chain for effective implementation of VE methodology on mechanical and electrical services.en_US
