PRACTICAL
What do you think it means to be practical?
: relating to what is real(rather than possible or imagined)
: likely to succeed (reasonable to do)
: appropriate or suited for actual use
real
silence is golden… duct tape is silver
define design
: to plan and make decisions (for something to be built or created)
: to plan and make (something) for a specific use or purpose
DESIGN
epitome of design
The Federal Highway Administration, defines Value Engineering so that a solution… “…provides the needed functions, reliably, at the lowest overall cost."
Practical Design is…
an approach decision-making.
focused on project need.
finding the lowest cost solutions.
Why Practical Design?
Why Now?
Haven’t we always been practical?
How can we be more practical?

as a tool forPractical Design
A Value Study is….
“the formal application of a value methodology to a project in order to improve its value...”
VALUE STANDARD and BODY OF KNOWLEDGE
V = F/$Practical Design is ….“The least cost options to solve today’s needs”
V = F/$Lowest Cost Solution.
