1.Value engineering during the design process of a retrofit or new construction project.
This first value engineering method typically occurs in the early stages of a project in consideration. It is during these early stages that Mason Lighting works with end users and contractors to develop project criteria to ensure the desired lighting objectives are met. By creating a list of required criteria, the customer isn’t limited to a single manufacturer, but instead can select from a competitive range of product options without having to worry about compromising on the quality of the lighting products they are purchasing.
2. Value engineering existing lighting product specifications
This second, more traditional value engineering method typically occurs after a lighting package has already been put together by an architect or engineer. In this scenario, Mason Lighting works with project managers, construction teams, facility teams, and energy teams to evaluate the existing lighting package and provide alternate product options that will reduce the initial and life cycle costs, without compromising on the desired quality and performance of the original lighting package.
3. Value engineering during the Request for Proposal (RFP) development process
This third method we provide our customers occurs during the development of the Request for Proposal (RFP) process.
