Chapter 15: Value Management in South Africa

The implementation of value management (VM) by the stakeholders in the South African construction industry is very low due to misperception about the integration of sustainability and VM as two separate studies. The South African construction industry implementation of VM is at a stage where one could infer that it has not been introduced into the construction industry at all. The introduction gives a review of the interest of the client towards getting the desired satisfaction using various VM techniques. The following chapter evaluates the services employed using VM practice to how project management could be enhanced through the services mediated by construction professionals in South Africa's construction industry.
