[Saice] Follow up appeal to participate in the Value Management survey- SAICE members

[Memory Scheepers]

Dear SAICE member
Our survey into the nature and extent of Value Management practice in
South Africa is progressing slowly. To date we have only received 16
responses - "Thank you" to those respondents. As you can appreciate, the
higher the response rate, the more meaningful the results. Consequently
we are appealing one last time to those of you who have not
participated, to assist us, please. The URL to the survey website is:

Given the importance of VM to the built environment professions, I would
suggest that you include the time taken to complete the questionnaire in
your CPD submission to ECSA. The QS and Architectural professions have
already agreed to "points" being awarded for participation (self-study).
The CPD benefits of participating in the survey include: an appreciation
of value management as a tool for better achieving client satisfaction
with their buildings; a better understanding of the multi-faceted nature
of VM; exposure to the many VM Standards available to practitioners;
insight into the various VM tools available to practitioners and the
potential for the widespread use of VM (at different stages of the
project); and an appreciation of how many practitioners are not
conversant with this technique and the potential competitive advantage
that can be gained from using it. 

Thank you for your assistance
