      • In the Planning phase GLE can conduct a functional analysis of the project, define key objectives, review utility options, define permitting requirements, offer alternative solutions, and verify if the budget is adequate for the project plan.

      • In the Design phase GLE considers alternative design solutions to optimize the expected cost/worth ratio of projects at completion. Value engineering elicits ideas on ways of maintaining or enhancing results while reducing project costs.

      • In the Construction phase, GLE works with contractors and encourages, through shared savings, to draw on their special 'know-how' to propose changes that cut costs while maintaining or enhancing quality, value, and functional performance.
