Abstract | In order to reduce the operating cost, defect is the significant issue because it can cost more and more to project due to many influencing factors such as skill of worker. However, controlling of work def ect is not too difficult, but it is not easy, also. To control the work defect efficiently, engineers should conduct tools for controlling and monitoring work method. This study was concerning in value engineering concept adapting to solve the defect in execution stage. This study was conducted to: 1) identify how value engineering could be applied in defect cost reduction., 2) investigate the procedure of value engineering applying in high- rise building project ., and 3) propose recommendation of value engi neering applying in defect cost reduction. The data was collected from high -rise building project at execution stage. Target of research is senior site engineers and site engineers. The findings were discussed, and the recommendations for improving constr uction method were propose in this study. |
