Abstract

N the private sector, an architect/consulting engineer's role was frequently limited to preliminary technical design and legal approval of building p rojects. Nowadays, consulting firms are facing up the challenge of handling performance demands in their projects' designs to reach the satisfaction of their client's needs and values, which raises the need to seek a new system of management to manage desi gn works. The research explores the optimum management system that fit in the architectural practice and facilitates the application of Value Engineering workshops through design phases, in order to improve the value of projects by reducing project costs, improving teamwork and developing the right project, process, systems, or technique to meet the client's needs. A survey questionnaire is used for data collection from a number of recognized Egyptian consulting firms in the architectural consulting industr y. One of the results emphasized at the end of this research is the importance of the application of Project - Based Management (PBM) methods in architectural and engineering design firms. Such application facilitates the usage of value engineering workshops which helps in creating a better relationship between the different parties through the project life - cycle
