As a result of the rising level of competition in the construction industry, businesses strive to stay one step ahead of their rivals and overcome the most fundamental optimization challenge of balancing quality, time, and cost parameters. This is not always possible, however. Occasionally, the project may be completed late, the budget may be exceeded, or the desired quality cannot be attained. Various strategies have been developed to address these issues. The value engineering method is among these techniques. Taking into account quality, time, and cost, value engineering executes cost-saving projects without disregarding customer expectations. Value engineering seeks to increase value by concentrating on functions other than cost management. By conducting value studies on the products, value engineering can introduce new designs, develop the existing product, or provide value to the customer. This study employed value engineering to determine the thermal insulation material to be used in a building. First, the functions to be worked on were determined by considering user expectations, and then three alternative products that provide these functions were identified among the most preferred products. By developing alternative products, the advantages and disadvantages of the original products were revealed. The most valuable product was determined by calculating the product's value in relation to its benefits and costs. Thus, the optimal product was selected by weighing the user's expectations, the product's benefits, and its price.

In order to achieve efficient projects when producing any product, the cost, quality, and production time need to be optimized. However, this is not always easy to achieve. The budgets of the projects may be exceeded, they may not be completed in the stipulated and committed time, or the products may not be produced with sufficient quality for various reasons. It is vital to analyze the project functions/steps very closely throughout the design phase to ensure that all feasible alternatives are studied and examined, and that the most appropriate alternative is picked for the functions that can meet the project criteria. Value engineering (DM) can be defined as an organized effort to analyze product features, functions and material selections; is designed to solve problems and/or reduce costs while maintaining or improving performance and quality requirements; and performs essential functions at the required quality, reliability, and life-cycle cost. In this study, value engineering was used for the selection of trees needed in the construction of parks. A value engineering team decided that the trees should be coniferous with the prerequisite that they can remain green without shedding their summer-winter leaves and determined which criteria the coniferous trees required to be located in the park should meet. The team members conducted value engineering after determining which trees met these criteria and were subsequently purchased. As a result, the team determined the most appropriate optimum cost solution with the value engineering method to meet all the criteria among the determined alternative tree species

Factors such as the rapid depletion of natural resources and environmental pollution enable us to better understand the importance of the concept of sustainability today. With the introduction of the concept of sustainability into the construction sector, the design of buildings according to the environmentally friendly "Green Building" approach has come to the forefront, and various certification systems have been developed. Due to these certification systems, various building materials are required to be used in buildings. However, since there are many materials on the market, it is a problem as to which of these materials should we prefer according to the green building criteria. Although there are various approaches in this regard, the value engineering method is an ideal method because it takes into account both the criteria that the materials must meet as well as their costs. Value Engineering is the teamwork carried out to analyze the building properties, systems, equipment, and material selections, while considering the costs, in order to perform the necessary performance, quality, reliability, and basic functions. In this article, a method on how to choose a value-based, sustainable material was proposed, and as a case study, a product that can be used as an exterior cladding material of a building using LEED criteria, which is used for providing certification for sustainable green buildings, was selected. Initially, a value engineering team was formed. This team determined the qualities that the product should have based on LEED criteria and the eight different material alternatives that can meet these qualities. Subsequently, value analysis was conducted, and the highest value exterior coating material was determined.
