What challenges did we face?
This was a challenging first development for Vistry Northern Home Counties in Cranfield, Bedfordshire.
As a solution for reducing both carbon exposure and project costs, we worked with Vistry’s commercial and technical departments to value engineer both subsoil and topsoil disposal quantities.
What we delivered
This value engineering was achieved by our in-house engineering department, who developed a detailed earthworks model, amending site levels to successfully accommodate the site’s total soil quantity.
This was then reviewed and perfected by Vistry’s own engineers and the final strategy resulted in huge value engineered savings for the project.
Having won a competitive tender process, the collaborative approach to cost engineering solutions in a challenging market was refreshing and welcomed.
