FAQs
What is an example of value engineering?
Value engineering is a methodical process by which each and every fixture and design choice is rigorously scrutinised to reduce cost without forsaking practicality or visual appeal. For example, our rapid prototyping allows us to stress-test fixtures at the design phase, to reduce unforeseen costs during manufacture.
What are the objectives of value engineering?
At its heart, value engineering is concerned with providing the highest grade, highest performing materials at the lowest cost to our customer. From innovative design engineering to advanced manufacturing processes, our goal is to ensure we create the ideal retail space in the most cost-efficient manner.
Can Sigma handle both design and manufacturing?
Absolutely. Our talented design engineers work hand in hand with our production experts, supported by our state-of-the-art facilities to guarantee a smooth and hassle-free project from initiation to being install-ready.
