In Healthcare facility design, Efficient Mechanical, Electrical / Low Current, Plumbing, and Clinical Engineering services are very crucial because the built environment not only affects patients and families but also Healthcare staff & their outcomes.This paper shall cover the basics of Value engineering and its different phases that can be implemented in the MEP Designing stage for Healthcare facility optimization, also VE can improve the product cost and the unnecessary costs associated with healthcare services. This paper explores the MEP part of the facility services and their Value Engineering Job plan for the successful application of the VE technique by conducting Workshops with end users, the designing team and associate experts. The value engineering workshop that was conducted for the project study shall be carried out using certain concepts, tools, methods and mechanisms developed to achieve the purpose of selecting what is actually appropriate and ideal among many values engineering processes and tools that have long-proven their ability to enhance the value by following the concept of Total quality management while achieving the most efficient resources allocation to satisfy the key functions and requirements of the project without sacrificing the targeted level of service for all design metrics. Detail review with analysis shall be carried out by this process to achieve a better outcome, Various tools shall be used for the Analysis of the product at different phases used, and at the end, the results obtained after the implementation of techniques will be discussed.
