It isn’t enough to just accept contractor bids in principle. The performance of your general contractor and related subcontractors, who work outside the corporate control of day-to-day employees, is essentially determined by their contractual obligations to you as laid out in their formal bids. Once you’ve selected a contractor, and they are still flush with the prospect of substantial, long-term income from you, it is important to not sign too quickly. Here is where nitpicking, dissection, clarification, and even enhancement of expected obligations can value-engineer the bid to your lasting advantage. RDS will implement a systematic value management program employing value engineering, systems analysis, and life cycle costing. We will identify and recommend alternate design solutions that achieve your functional requirements at the best balance between cost, performance and reliability. This process can be very effective for you in conjunction with final contract negotiations, as each element of the bid is dissected and value engineered, resulting in the best cost efficiencies. Best of all, a conscientious contractor can only applaud these efforts to provide maximum value to his client.
