Kirk Value Planners was established in 1998 to provide comprehensive facility economics, value planning, education, and value management services.  Its leadership has over 45 years of combined experience in the field, with each having previously directed the same services in one of the largest design and engineering firms in the USA.

Kirk Value Planners works with owners, managers and other professionals from government and private industry to optimize performance and lower life cycle costs.  Each project has its own performance goals but may include operational improvements, higher sustainability, increase profitability, reduced risk, improved construct-ability, leveraged technology options, or optimized building system performance.  Life cycle costs can be reduced through enhanced value planning, economic analysis, choosing by advantages and the clarification of the essential functions of the systems in the facility. 

Multi disciplinary teams consisting of the key project stakeholders are formed to creatively explore fresh, practical ideas to achieve the best value for the owner or sponsor of the project. These real-time “workshops” are forums for decision-making, which foster friendly discussions and build team consensus prior to documenting a series of recommendations for management to implement.
