价值管理和价值工程指南第一版已经上线，将于2017年5月1日生效，是RICS工料测量和建造指南“黑皮书”的一部分。皇家特许测量师会员在建设项目的价值管理中起到关键作用，因此该指南介绍了价值管理和价值工程的概念，为皇家特许测量师提供依据。

价值管理和价值工程都相当关注利益增长（产出）和投入成本（投入）之间的比率，但由于时间和规模等因素，他们往往是区分开的。但价值也是一个相对的概念，在项目管理中扮演一个重要的角色。供应链采购和全程采购就是为了管理这些不平衡，给客户提供整个项目的价值。

Value management and value engineering guidance note, 1st edition, has been published. It is part of the RICS QS and construction standards (the ‘Black Book’).

This 1st edition guidance note – which comes into effect on 1 May 2017 – introduces the concepts of value management and value engineering as they relate to construction projects and to the role of chartered surveyors, who have a key role to play in helping manage value across the project.

Value management and value engineering are both concerned with increasing the ratio between benefit (outputs) and the cost or effort (inputs) required, but are often separated in terms of their timing and their scale. But value is also a relative concept and one of the roles of project management, supply chain procurement and overall procurement is to manage these imbalances so that the project as a whole provides value to the client.
