Value Engineering Services
Smart Solutions. Cost Savings. Performance Without Compromise.
Magic Touch Construction Co. Inc. (MTC)
​
At Magic Touch Construction Co. Inc. (MTC), our Value Engineering (VE) services are designed to help owners, architects, and project stakeholders identify cost-effective alternatives that improve performance, simplify construction, and reduce long-term operational costs—without sacrificing quality or code compliance.
​
With over 50 years of experience in the field, MTC brings practical insight and deep technical knowledge to every VE review. We work closely with design teams and owners to assess systems, materials, and methods with a goal of maximizing value across all phases of the project lifecycle.
Our Value Engineering Approach
MTC approaches Value Engineering as a collaborative, data-driven process that emphasizes performance, functionality, and lifecycle cost savings. Our team analyzes every design element through four key lenses:
-
Functionality: Does the element fulfill its intended purpose efficiently?
-
Cost: Is there a lower-cost option that maintains performance?
-
Constructability: Can the element be built more easily or safely?
-
Maintainability: Will the system remain cost-effective over time?
