"A shared business philosophy for uncompromising standards, attention to detail, and a passion for perfection brought Edwards Smith Construction & us together for the project. We wanted an office that reflected upon the heritage of our family business and a low maintenance shop with a blend of flavor and industrial accents. As a team we successfully combined function and character into the details of the building"

Commercial projects are typically defined by value. Edwards Smith Construction is always searching for cost savings without compromising quality - this is also known as Value Engineering. Value Engineering is typically defined as how to get the same item for the lowest price.
The dictionary's definition for Value Engineering (VE) is: a systematic method to improve the "value" of goods or products and services by using an examination of "function". Value, as defined, is: the ratio of "function to cost".
The missing part of the equation that is commonly not considered is the "quantity and type of experience" of the individuals doing the examination.
So, to us, Value Engineering is defined as a combination of value, plus experience, which will develop the best economy for a particular function. We see VE as a continuing process from the moment of design through the moment of implementation.
Our promise is to not just build the project "per plan" as most do; but to have an environment where our team is on the continual search to find the best value in the process of achieving our client's highest goals.
