“…The literature presents numerous well-documented examples of VM exercises which have resulted in promoting sustainability aspects like safety, reduced travel time, user satisfaction, traffic capacity, flood avoidance, reliability, durability, functionality, buildability, space utilization and environmental impact (e.g. Office of Government Commerce (OGC), 2007; Mao et al , 2009; Yang et al , 2014; Moon et al , 2012). Furthermore, design flexibility and the associated sustainability benefits can effectively be promoted through the structured approach of VM (Marinelli, 2020).…”

PurposeThis paper investigates how the “Design for Sustainability” mindset of the manufacturing sector can be effectively transferred in the context of construction and proposes appropriate implementation tools for the promotion of sustainability in infrastructure projects' planning and design.Design/methodology/approachThe Design for Excellence (DfX) approach is first investigated in the context of manufacturing through the review of related literature, and the goals of Design for Sustainability (DfS), in particular, are specified. The suggestions of the literature are used as a basis for the development of the conceptually equivalent goals in the context of infrastructure projects and to highlight the construction management strategies which qualify as potential DfS tools.FindingsThis paper presents how well-known construction planning and management methods, techniques or strategies such as cost–benefit analysis, sustainability-driven procurement, contractors' involvement in design, value-based design, building information modeling (BIM) and buildability review enable the holistic promotion of the triple bottom line in feasibility, design and procurement of infrastructure projects, when combined in the context of an integrated planning approach.Originality/valueThe DfX mindset has very limited presence in the construction literature. This paper attempts to conceptualize its scope in the context of infrastructure projects while putting the multidimensional concept of sustainability as primary planning and design consideration. The proposed planning approach and the systematic mapping of the respective implementation tools can facilitate the decision-makers to achieve the desired sustainability benefits, in line with their priorities.

“…Kalvakaalva and McDuff (2011) present the results of the VE exercise to the design of two multi-million highway projects in the US and conclude that it entailed cost savings ranging from 92k to 10m for Project 1 and from 78k to 610k for Project 2. Examples of the VE's positive effect on functions like safety, traffic capacity, flood avoidance, reliability, durability, functionality, constructability, space utilization and long-term environmental impact have also been given by Yang, Baeg and Moon (2014) and Moon, Ha and Yang (2012) who report performance improvement up to 25% and 29% respectively, in road construction in Busan, Korea; Short et al (2007) who report 20m savings in the redevelopment of the Haymarket Theatre in Leicester, UK; Mao, Zhang and AbouRizk (2009), who report up to 12% performance improvement in the W12 Inverted Siphon Project in Edmonton, Canada.…”

The recent financial crisis in Europe has led to large reduction of public investment and urges the recession-hit countries to revisit their approach to new infrastructure projects initiation in light of the current budgetary constraints. This paper reviews the methodologies and practices implemented worldwide with the aim to achieve cost efficiency in infrastructure development and critically discuss the current approach to planning and designing of infrastructure projects in Greece. A number of transport infrastructure projects under tendering or construction, including urban express roads, urban development projects, cruise port, urban rail and airport, are presented and analyzed. The authors highlight the critical role of the implementation of appropriate tools and informed decision making in design and construction and present alternative solutions of enhanced cost efficiency for the required value for money to be achieved in each of the above projects.
