Abstract
Value management (VM) and risk management (RM) both involve systematic team decision-making methodologies, but they are often used separately by construction professionals in real practices for different purposes. VM emphases the best project value, while RM is expected to minimize the project risks. The major difference between the two methodologies may lie in the function analysis phase of VM for identifying key functions of projects, and the risk analysis of RM for risk identification. Due to the complementary nature of the techniques involved in both forms of management, the integration of VM and RM has been advocated by scholars for about three decades to optimize the final outcome within limited time and resources. However, little attention has been paid to establishing the complex relationships between value-risk management (VRM) techniques and their outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to find an effective way to integrate VM and RM for enhancing final outcomes. A questionnaire survey was conducted to construction professionals with experience in VM and/or RM. Through various statistical analyses, including factor analysis, correlation, and multiple regression analysis, the findings indicate that (1) information and creativity techniques aided development techniques significantly; (2) presentation techniques are determined by information and function analysis techniques; (3) information techniques, risk analysis techniques, and development techniques enhance team and project performance in VRM workshops; and (4) function analysis techniques, risk analysis techniques, and development techniques can improve overall satisfaction on construction projects. To ensure risk minimization and value maximization in construction projects, VRM workshops should be harnessed and undertaken systematically and logically. Practical recommendations regarding sufficient information and discussion time for VRM participants are given to ensure stakeholders gain the comprehensive understanding of the peculiarity of the project at hand necessary to propel creative ideas and achieve the objectives of the workshop. © 2023 American Society of Civil Engineers.
