Target Value Design Case Study

This case study introduces learners to the target value design (TVD) process as implemented on the design and construction of a large medical complex in Florida. When TVD is used, project cost is considered a constraint, and the objective is to design and construct a project that provides the most value to the owner for the target price. The general contractor and major subcontractors are selected early in the design process to collaborate with the principal stakeholders when planning and designing the project. This case study contains two dilemmas regarding cost and scope management issues that learners are asked to address. They must consider the facts and circumstances described and recommend solutions for the issues presented. 

Teaching Notes for the instructor are provided to assist in using the case study.  Instructors should send students the downloaded version rather than links to avoid student access to instructor notes.
