Enhancing efficiency in the construction sector involves optimizing quality, time, and cost. Despite these efforts, challenges often arise. Projects may experience delays, budgets can be exceeded, or the quality of products may not meet the required standards. Traditional cost control and planning methods can help manage the budget, but project owners frequently complain that the quality is inadequate compared to the low cost. Therefore, it is crucial to consider all possible alternatives at the design stage to achieve the best balance of cost, time, and quality. The selection of a material plays a key place in the life cycle of a product/project. The decision to select the correct material can decrease the manufacturing cost and time. Value Engineering is a robust methodology that addresses problems and/or reduces costs while maintaining or improving performance and quality requirements. It involves reviewing new or existing products during the design phase to lower costs and enhance functionality, thereby increasing the product's value. In this study, the goal was to select a product to be used as reinforcement while designing a concrete canoe using the Value Engineering Method. Initially, a value engineering team was formed, and the team identified the necessary qualifications for the product. Potential products meeting these qualifications were researched, and three alternative products were chosen for comparison. Following this, a value analysis was performed, and a product was selected that met the requirements in terms of both quality and price.
