J52 provides comprehensive design reviews to identify cost-focused opportunities.

At J52 Engineering, we provide a cost-focused engineering review of the design solutions for your rail sector projects. The experts assigned to your project are experienced engineers across key disciplines who can advise on recent best practices and cost-saving opportunities. They offer an unbiased and neutral review, concentrating solely on value engineering.
Our primary deliverable is a concise value engineering report designed to help our Clients challenge originating organisations and ensure all technical avenues for cost reduction have been exhausted..
Unlike conventional cost assessments conducted by Quantity Surveyors, J52 Engineering offers a unique service new to the market by employing engineering experts to technically interrogate the design and uncover potential cost-saving opportunities.
As a small business, we can operate under a fixed fee purchase order directly with Clients.
Value engineering balances function and cost. If undertaken properly it identifies savings in cost, quicker delivery and enhanced sustainability through smarter engineering choices.
Our independent reviewers ensure Value Engineering is thoroughly considered, mitigating against the lack of incentives for Contractors or Designers to undertake this process within standard NEC contracts.
We recommend undertaking the value engineering review between option selection and detailed design in a rail project; however, savings may still be found in later project stages.
Opportunities identified may include alternative design solutions, identifying over-engineering, considering substitute materials or highlighting areas to challenge in project's scope baseline.
New Station Platform (project value £90m) Identified savings to platform, canopy, foundations, stairs and ramps, drainage, plain line track and S&C.
New Siding Line (project value £8m)
Identified savings to temporary works, highways, track, drainage and retaining structures.
New Maintenance Facility (project value £12m) Identified savings to drainage, highways, architectural fabric and walkways.
