Aquaheat South Pacific has provided our clients with cost and time effective solutions.  Through early involvement on large and complex projects Aquaheat has been able to deliver significant savings on costs & time as a result of value engineering initiatives.

Cost, build-ability and program sequencing are important factors in the successful execution of any project. Our experience is that under a collaborative approach the best interests of all parties are aligned resulting in the team providing innovative and cost effective results that not only focus on the immediate budget, but are also cognizant of the life cycle costs of the project.

This is the value we bring in our engineering solutions.

Our Value Engineering & Design Development Team focus on the following key elements:

SYSTEM DESIGN: We will review all aspects of the consultants design and identify opportunities where design elements can be rationalised or improved to provide cost benefits.

PLANT & EQUIPMENT PROCUREMENT: We will investigate all possible procurement options to determine the most economic and efficient plant and equipment selections without compromising quality or performance.

RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS: We are very aware of the resource (labour and material) constraints in the current market and we will look at every opportunity to rationalise the design to match the resources on-hand. This will include off-site fabrication and modularisation where possible.

CONSTRUCTION & COMMISSIONING: With our Project Management Team, including our Engineering and Design team, working in partnership with the building contractor and consultant we are confident that the cooperative working relationship will deliver mutual benefits.

RELATIVE VALUE & IMPACT OF CHANGES: We will take into account the relative cost saving of any proposed changes with respect to associated costs such as redesign and/or the effect on other services and trades.

ONGOING SERVICING & OPERATING COSTS: Any decisions relating to alternative plant or design selections will take into account the impact on servicing and operating costs & we will advise on the best way forward.

QUALITY & FULL LIFE CYCLE COSTS: We recognise that it is easy to sacrifice quality and durability for an up-front cost saving. We endeavour that each value engineering proposals that we present is thoroughly researched to ensure that those key factors, quality and durability, are not compromised.
