- Great complexity in the design. Generally, the more complex the design, the more opprotunity there is to improve value and performance
- An advancement in the state-of-the-art. Those aspects of design that reach beyond the state-of-the-art usually offer potential VE savings.
- High degree of time compression in the design cycle. A project having an acdelerated design program will usually contain elements of over design.
- A component or material that is critical, exotic, hard-to-get or expensive
- Intricate shapes, deep excavations, high embankments, steep slopes, etc.
- Comoenents that appear to be difficult to consturct
- Overly long material haul: Excessive borrow; execcesive waste. Expensive construction traffic control.
- Long foundation piles
- Excessive reinforcement
- Cofferdam dewatering
- Record seeking design (longest span, highest piers, deepest cut, etc.)
- High safety factors
- Curb, gutters and sidewalk
- Specially designed compoennts that appear to be similar to low cost items.
- Components that include non-standards fasteners, bearings, grades and sizes
- Processess or components that require highly-skilled or time-consuming labor. Items with poor service or cost history.
- Items that have maintenance and field operatins problems
- Project costs that exceed the amount budgeted.
- Standard plans in use more than 3 or 4 years.
