Value Engineering (VE) is an innovative service which involves an organized approach to the identification and elimination of un-necessary costs without loss of function, hence this study describes a Masters research based on the application of VE in the implementation of building construction projects. This study, therefore, aimed at assessing the extent to which VE is applied in the implementation of Building Construction Projects in Uganda, in particular, assessing the extent to which VE is applied in the implementation of building construction projects in Uganda, establishing VE techniques that are in use within Uganda’s construction organizations, establishing factors affecting VE implementation in Uganda as well as establishing proposals for effective VE implementation within building construction organizations in Uganda. The findings of this study indicated that these practitioners’ level of adoption of VE is still low in comparison with the practice elsewhere despite them (respondents) being fairly familiar with the aspect of VE.
