Target Value Design

To control costs, PJ Dick also offers Target Value Design delivery. Our team works closely with the designers to establish target costs in smaller expense buckets. This approach guides the teams to more easily achieve the project budget during the preconstruction phase.

Target Value Design incorporates the following advantages to ensure the most precise budgeting possible, including:

Z

Efficient Estimating

Contemporaneous estimating to provide ongoing feedback on cost-related issues

Z

Valuable Feedback

Provide valuable feedback in early programming and design meetings

Z

Focused Priorities

Setting target values to enable the design team to focus on the design of the highest scope priorities and not waste time on items that cannot be afforded
Z

Engagement

Engaging end users and stakeholders to understand project needs, gain buy-in, and develop the least disruptive construction phasing plan
