The purpose of this study is to analyze problems and suggest improvement scheme based on questionnaire survey to design VE status for apartment buildings. For this study, the adapted research methods are case studies of design VE to construction companies and questionnaire survay to design staffs. The results of this study are as follows: 1) In the system aspect, the problems of design VE for apartment buildings are insufficiency of regulation and difficulty of performing design VE actively. In the performance aspect, the problems is absence of design VE procedure suited to apartment buildings. 2) In the system side, the improvements of design VE for apartment buildings include regulatory enlargement of design VE application for apartment buildings and rearrangement of VE incentive system for design staffs. In the performance side, a VE procedure suited to apartment buildings is developed and suggested.

Value Engineering(VE) is an organized effort to create the most value through a functional analysis and creation of alternatives. Depending on the VE job plan, a VE Workshop must be performed in a certain place within a certain period of time. A VE Workshop, which is an organized activity that aims to create the best value through functional analysis and creation of alternatives, should be held in a certain place and at a scheduled time according to the VE job plan. In the Pre-Study, VE Study and Post-Study phases of VE, functional assessments, performance evaluations and idea evaluations are driven by variable management techniques and analysis methods, respectively. Generally, VE is executed for about 3 to 5 days in a particular place to create value. However, there are many problems associated with limiting all VE processes to a specific place and schedule. Moreover, in Korea, VE teams are required to finish all VE processes in a limited time because of the short duration of VE workshops, the necessity of which has been overlooked. Therefore, an efficient VE support system is required to resolve the problem of time and space limitations. In this study, a VE support system based on the Mobile environment was developed to support the VE Workshop process. This VE support system enables participants to review design documents, drawing sheets and all VE-related documents using mobile devices. After the Workshop, participants can conveniently rearrange the result(evaluation of function and ideas) at the workshop. Not only can the members of VE team can review the design documents, drawing sheet and all VE-related documents in the step before the workshop, but also the result(evaluation of function and ideas) of the workshop can be easily rearranged in the phase after the workshop under the developed supporting system using mobile devices.

2006년부터 VE 대상프로젝트가 확대되고, 기본설계와 실시설계단계에 각 1회씩 설계VE를 적용토록 규정되어 설계단계별로 VE가 각각 적용되는 프로젝트가 늘어나고 있다. 그리고 원가절감과 성능향상으로 프로젝트 가치를 높인 설계VE 사례도 많아지고 있다. 하지만 기본설계와 실시설계단계의 조건에 적합한 VE 수행방안에 대한 연구가 미진하고 참여자들의 경험과 이해가 부족하여 단계별 설계VE를 효율적으로 수행하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기본설계단계와 실시설계단계로 나누어 VE를 수행한 실무사례를 분석하여 기능정의와 아이디어 창출간의 연관관계 및 각 설계단계에서 기능정의를 수행할 때 발생하는 문제점을 도출하였다. 문제점을 해결하고 효과적인 설계VE를 수행하기 위하여 다음과 같은 개선방안을 제시하였다. 첫째, 설계프로세스의 흐름에 맞추어 기본설계에는 공간기능에 대하여하고 실시설계에는 부위에 대하여 기능정의를 수행한다. 이때 상위의 레벨에는 하위의 레벨의 기능정의가 연계되는 기능분류체계 (FBS : Function Breakdown Structure)를 제안하였다. 둘째, 기본설계와 실시설계단계의 기능정의를 수행하는 프로세스 (FDP : Function Definition Process)를 제안하였다. 셋째, 실시설계단계에서는 부위별 요구 성능 평가 매트릭스 (EFM : Element Function Matrix)를 적용하여 기능정의와 아이디어 창출이 연계되도록 하였다. 설계VE의 주요 부분인 기능정의 과정에 대한 문제점을 도출하여 해결방안을 제시함으로써, 보다 효과적인 설계VE의 수행을 기대할 수 있다.

Ministry of Construction & Transportation prescribes that all of the construction works including Design-Build whose cost more than then billion won must be applied VE at the design phase. It is difficult to apply VE at the design development phase to design-build projects under current design-build contract because design should be proceeded with fixed price by bidding. Therefore the present study suggests an application of incentive which can maximize the effectiveness of design VE in design-build projects after analysing current design-build's characteristics and difficulties of design VE application.

교육시설에 BTL사업이 활성화됨에 따라 해당 사업의 규모가 급격히 확대되고 있다. 이에 교육시설 설계에 있어서 창의적이고 효율적인 대안설계를 제안해야함에 따라 설계VE 영역의 중요성이 부각되어 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 현재의 설계VE 진행절차는 준비단계, 분석단계, 실행단계로 이어지며 각 단계별로 다양한 운용기법과 분석방법으로 진행되고 있다. 특히 그동안 진행되었던 다수의 교육시설 설계VE 사례를 살펴본 바에 의하면, 설계VE 과정에서 VE대상 선정 시 동일하거나 유사한 방법이 나타나고, 최종 대안 역시 프로젝트 별로 유사한 패턴을 보이고 있음에도, 기존 설계VE의 전 과정이 반복적으로 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 이처럼 동일하거나 유사하게 나타나는 대안들을 유형화 하여 설계VE 절차를 간소화함으로써 VE활동 기간을 단축시켜 효율성을 높이고자 한다. 이를 위해 기존 교육시설 설계VE 사례들을 통해 다양한 VE대안들을 분석하여 유형별로 정리한다. 그 결과로 유사한 패턴이 나타나는 최종 대안들을 교육시설의 공간과 각 공간에 따른 공종별로 구분하여 유형화하고자 한다. 이는 교육시설 설계VE 활동 시 유형화 된 대안을 활용하여 기능분석 등의 단계를 생략함으로써 설계VE 활동 기간 단축과 투입 노력을 축소시키는 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것이며, 설계VE에 있어서 보다 효율적인 운용이 가능하게 될 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to present proper VE application methods to euly design phases. Since VE methodology is more effective on early stage of design phase, the study focused on application of VE methodology in early stage of design process. With the examination of past studies, obstacles of VE application in domestic construction industry are defined. To solve these problems, this paper presents (1) subdivision of VE execution time, (2) an appropriate VE targeting method for construction industry, (3) a resonable and practical function analysis process, and (4) modified design-VE job plan.

Design VE system in order to promote the economical efficiency and the functional elevation of construction facilities apply to conatruction over 10 billion from december 2005. But it don't achieve purpose of VE original to maximization of value creation through VE because VE perform formal and result center. This study suggests some idea and analyse implementation of design VE through design VE case of turnkey and alternative project performed in domestic.

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.

Design Value Engineering (VE) has become an import part of the daily design process since it has been introduced in the construction industry. Design VE is usually conducted in the general and execution design stages respectively. In order to increase the effectiveness of the VE process, the outcome from the general design VE activities should be integrated into execution design. The outcome from the execution design should be used again for construction. In this study, a consecutive VE process model has been presented as a way to improve the current practice of design VE activities in the construction industry. In the presented model, follow-up activities are emphasized to increase values from the life-cycle perspective of a construction project. The model was tested in a case study of an actual design VE process. The result of the study demonstrates that the model can: 1) effectively incorporate owners requirements; 2) assist decision making in selecting better construction; 3) increase the interface between general and execution design stages; and 4) trace the value flow more efficiently. Overall, the study results indicates that a the consecutive VE process model can be effectively applied when construction project are contracted for the life-cycle management of construction projects.
