Value management awareness and practise by South African architects: An empirical study

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate value management (VM) practice by professional architects in South Africa. A primary aim is to test the assertion of Kelly et al. that VM has evolved to become an established service with commonly understood tools, techniques and styles. Design/methodology/approach - A web-based, online questionnaire survey was employed to establish VM practice by South African registered architects. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the survey response data.
