In the year of 1980 and 2000, the Korean government institutionalized the Value Engineering methodology in the construction phase and the design phase respectively. While design-phase VE have been applied to construction industry actively, which was institutionalized 7 years ago, construction-phase VE have not been applied to industry frequently, although it was institutionalized 25 years ago. On the other hand, at the time of social demands for VE is increasing, it has been pointed out that VE should be compatible with the delivery system. And the time of VE study, the operational management of VE study, and the maintenance process of the result of the VE study also should be considered. In this study, a scheme to improve VE methodology in the construction industry is proposed based on the literature review and the data analysis of domestic and foreign state of VE.

Ministry of construction and transportation has been enforcing extensionally design phase VE(Value Engineering) to the construction costing more than 10 billion won, an importance of design phase VE accordingly is raising to get rid of a waste of cost and noneffective factors previously in construction projects. Although there are legal supports and technical effects, an effect about an introduction of design phase VE can not be applied properly because of several problems at the process. So, in this study, present competency factors of design phase VE to highly raise the output through organizing an effective team at the beginning stage of design phase VE. Find out 29 competency factors through characteristics of design VE team for the check list, classify by team knowledge, team work skill, and team attitude. Get an efficiency regarding importance and find out Competency Evaluation items of design VE team, present a Competency Evaluation plan for indicating an objective standard to Competency Evaluation by measuring relative importance as to each Competency Evaluation item.

Value Engineering(VE) is being applied as an useful tool to eliminate the waste of cost and noneffective factors previously in construction projects. Ministry of construction and transportation' has been accordingly enforcing extensionally design phase VE to the construction costing more than 10 billion won, an importance of design phase VE. Although there are legal supports and technical effects, an effect about an introduction of design phase VE can not be applied properly because of several problems at the process. So, in this study, try to find out competency factors of design phase VE to enforce a competency of VE team as a basic database for developing a check list, and estimate weight. For the result, find out a competency evaluation item and organize as a team knowledge, a team work skill and a team attitude. Perform a first survey to verify a reliability and propriety regarding the found competency evaluation, perform the second survey competency as to evaluation item of the found 1, 2, 3 class and then estimate the weight by AHP.
