Abstract
Because of the low level of awareness about this field, there are many obstacles that hinder value engineering in addition to cost factors in the construction sector in many emerging countries, so this study used a questionnaire to assess the level of awareness of value engineering in Egypt in addition to a questionnaire about the factors behind the low cost. Most of the previous studies dealt with only a few factors, but this study dealt with 18 factors that affect the cost, and some of these factors are the lack of knowledge of this engineering, the lack of local adoption of this engineering, and the lack of investment and operation. Workers in contracting companies, the study analyzed these factors, which led to four factors: the lack of sufficient experience of qualified employees, the difficulty of providing workshops, and the lack of awareness of this engineering field so this study adds to the knowledge available in this field how overcoming the factors that directly affect the cost.
