SERVICES THAT DELIVER VALUE ENGINEERING

Regardless of the project or the services McMahon Architects provides, our clients can expect high-quality solutions that meet our value engineering criteria. This process involves:

1. Cost reduction
Finding alternate materials, construction methods, or design approaches that can lower costs without sacrificing performance or aesthetics.

2. Optimization
Streamlining the design to eliminate unnecessary features or complexities that do not contribute significantly to the project's overall value.

3. Enhancing Performance
Identifying opportunities to improve the performance or functionality of the design without significantly increasing costs.
