When To Use
Use B204™ when an owner has hired a Value Analysis Consultant and the architect needs a defined scope for their role within the value analysis process. It is appropriate for design-bid-build projects.
What It Does
B204 defines the architect's role in supporting the work of an owner-engaged Value Analysis Consultant. The architect’s services cover three categories: pre-workshop, workshop, and post-workshop. The services include presenting the project’s goals and design rationale at the value analysis workshop, reviewing and evaluating each value analysis proposal, and preparing a value analysis report for the owner. The report ensures that cost and program optimization studies integrate effectively with the design effort.
