INNOVATION, TECHNOLOGY AND VALUE ENGINEERING At Forgacs, we challenge existing processes and practices. We look beyond constraints for more practical solutions. We work smarter to achieve better project outcomes. We seek opportunities to become involved in projects in partnership with our clients, where possible. Our experience tells us that early involvement during the project concept phase gives greater ability to influence design. This, in turn, can have a positive effect on construction and schedule outcomes. This early involvement, and subsequent value engineering, ensures schedule and cost benefits for the project. Maximum results achieved through early contractor involvement, addressing issues such as: Design and specification critique; Materials selection; Standardisation in selection and sizing of equipment; Offsite fabrication and modularisation; Automation of installation processes; Constructability; Programming and scheduling refinements; Commissioning process finalisation; and Verification and validation Our fresh and open-minded approach to problem solving, together with technical expertise and cost effectiveness, has earned Forgacs an enviable track record as well as that all important vote of confidence repeat business....
