Final Report

The following report is a culmination of the past year's research and analysis of the Capital One Lecture Hall Addition. The main emphasis of the report is to reveal discrepencies within the Value Engineering process between design teams and general contractors/construction managers. Through the application of my depth research, three additional VE items are presented.
