Value engineering can have a significant impact on the quality, durability, and safety of landscape projects. In this interactive webinar, industry leaders from Christie Barbecues, Street Furniture Australia, Eureka Landscapes, and AILA will unpack the practical and professional challenges posed by value engineering and explore ways to mitigate its effects.
Through case studies and expert commentary, you’ll gain the knowledge and tools to write robust, defensible specifications, understand the role of manufacturers in supporting design outcomes, and navigate the delicate balance between cost constraints and long-term quality.
This session will be presented by Glen Power, AILA Qld Chapter President; Alex Christie, Christie Barbecues; June Boxsell, Street Furniture Australia and Jason McGarry, Eureka Landscapes.
