Question:

What is "value engineering" in multifamily renovations?

Answer:

Value engineering in multifamily renovations is the process of optimizing design, materials, and construction methods to achieve the best balance between cost, quality, and performance. It focuses on identifying ways to reduce expenses without compromising functionality, durability, or resident appeal. In practice, this might mean selecting more efficient building systems, durable yet affordable finishes, or reconfiguring spaces to enhance long-term value and return on investment.
