For high-value projects
where savings and design are non-negotiable
VE+ identifies equivalent alternatives across finishes and FF&E so your team can reduce cost exposure without compromising design intent, compliance or programme certainty.
Better value product options exist. Finding them is the problem.
Construction projects run on tight margins and tighter deadlines. The market has better value options, but accessing them consistently is harder than it should be.
VE research takes days you don't have
The market intelligence you need exists, but gathering it manually takes time that tender deadlines and project programmes simply don’t allow.
Cost pressure from above. Design pushback from below
The savings vs. looks argument is rarely easy to settle. Finding alternatives that satisfy everyone in the room takes time and effort that most teams don’t have.
You source from who you know, not what's best
Subcontractors and agents recommend what’s familiar or what benefits them, leaving real savings on the table every time.
Every saving found. Every requirement met. Zero hours spent.
VE+ matches every item on your schedule to compliant, cost-effective market alternatives – delivering the full picture without the legwork.
Finishes and FF&E, fully benchmarked
We match every item across your finishes and FF&E schedules against the full UK market – so you always know you’re getting the best value available.
