1.0 Scope of Inquiry
The hotel project in Riyadh provided an opportunity to evaluate the impact of value engineering (VE) and explore how a more proactive Value Management (VM) approach could have enhanced project outcomes. In the course of the project, VE was applied at RIBA Plan of Work Stage 4, after the design had been finalized and construction was underway. The VE exercise was aimed at identifying cost-saving opportunities without compromising the quality or functionality of the project. The savings were achieved through changes such as alternative fireproof coatings, adjustments to substructure waterproofing materials, and revisions to the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) specifications. The cost-saving measures ranged from SAR 13.4 million to SAR 20.4 million, reflecting substantial savings potential as shown in table 1 below.

Table 1: Cost Saving Opportunities
This reactive VE process, however, raises an important question: could these cost-saving opportunities have been identified and implemented more effectively earlier in the project lifecycle? This is the primary focus of my inquiry. By shifting to a Value Management (VM) approach applied at the start of the project, it is possible that a more strategic and value-focused framework for decision-making could have been established. VM that aims at enhancing value by ensuring that objectives are, cost, quality and functionality aligned at an early stage could have offered a more integrated approach with regards to selection and specification standards of materials. Originally VM would have provided a better option of decision making during the conceptual along with the design phases meaning that VE measures would not have to have been so reactive at the subsequent phases.
The inquiry also looks at the disadvantages of the reactive VE which typically happens once there is enough progress to compromise the project schedules, costs, and quality. For instance, the post-bid savings approach in items like fireproof coatings and other waterproofing materials may bring a number of compromises in to the system which in turn can affect the project wrongfully. Due to the need to make decisions and keep within certain budget expectations, these kinds of reactive decisions may call for optimal solutions which are often based on the cost instead of making choices that are best for the project in terms of value for money ad performance over time.
From the literature on VM and risk management, the following implications provide understanding of how such challenges could be tackled at advanced stages of the project life cycle. Had the project considered VM concepts including function analysis, cost consideration, and identification of stakeholders, the project could have concentrated on value optimization, cost, function and performance with minimal compromise on many of the principles. In addition, had the risk management techniques been incorporated within the initial developmental stages, it may have been possible to prevent the emergence of conditions that could lead to cost overruns or unexpected alterations in direction by assessing critical risk factors at an early stage and formulating plans which could reduce the effect of such a factor on the overall development of the project .
The purpose of this report is to investigate how VM at the initial stages might have affected the result identified in the VE exercise and to elaborate the shortcomings of reactive VE and how using proactive approach could eliminate those problems. Thus, answering these questions, the report will give understanding of the further purposes of VM and risk management in relation to project goals and expenditures for its economical usage. The research results could prove useful as a reference in enhancing future project performance, as far as value creation, project cost, and overall success is concerned.

(Solution) CIPS ROSHN Commercial Negotiation Plan-PIN
- This was established after the post-negotiation review which brought out fundamental lessons about the supplier and our company’s negotiation pattern.
- As for certain important aspects, we indeed secured favourable financing conditions; yet, problems arose in attempting to synchronize delivery schedules since such conditions are affected by external supply chain factors.
- The supplier had the better BATNA and acted in a cooperative but very assertive way, and elaborated why the correct approach to negotiations is more equal.
- Further, the experience showed how flexible one has to be, how innovative, and how it pays to be more interested in long-term partnership rather than quick profit. Therefore, it will be useful in the future to improve the techniques of negotiation, improve the knowledge about the actions of suppliers, and improve intercompany and supplier cooperation.
- This will ensure that in future procurement negotiations; better outcomes are achieved.
- ROSHN should ensure that all negotiations within the next 6 months include specific metrics for delivery timelines, quality standards, and service levels, aiming for a 90% satisfaction rate in supplier compliance with these criteria. This approach will help secure more balanced and sustainable agreements.
- Over the next 12 months, ROSHN should develop a supplier relationship management program with bi-annual assessments to track and improve partnership quality. Target at least a 15% increase in supplier engagement scores by the end of the year to gain favorable bargaining positions during market downturns.
- Within 1 month of each major negotiation, conduct debriefing sessions to analyze performance, identify strengths, and address weaknesses. The goal is to improve negotiation effectiveness by at least 10% in the subsequent quarter through targeted adjustments based on these evaluations.
- Within the next 4 months, involve at least 80% of key stakeholders in sourcing strategy meetings to ensure alignment and gather input on critical decisions. This engagement aims to reduce misalignment issues by 20% within the year, resulting in smoother implementation of sourcing strategies.
