Have you ever experienced negative results from a “value engineering” exercise? VE is used primarily at the end of a design phase and nearly always compromises the quality and function of the design. Designs are typically developed without a qualified budget and rely on industry standards to price these designs. Unfortunately, this process is commodity-driven, and not solution-based, which can lead to major inconsistencies in the overall cost of your project. This reactive method may result in the owner receiving less value and the design team not achieving its design intent. So, why are you still suffering through value engineering when Novum Designer Assist can eliminate this process?

Novum Designer Assist provides accurate details, answers, and budgets to help the design team realize their goals for structural glass solutions from the start. At the end of this process, you will have a complete glass and steel solution that accomplishes the design intent while falling within the owner’s targeted budget. No value engineering, no quality reduction, and no reduced value to the owner. We provide system solutions of structural glass and steel for canopies, facades, atriums, and skylights of any size.
