Overview: Optimum Value Engineering (OVE) refers to framing techniques that reduce the amount of lumber used to build a home while maintaining the structural integrity of the building. Using OVE techniques results in lower material and labor costs and improved energy performance for the building. While the system can be applied as a whole package, many of its components can be used independently, depending upon the specific needs of the project. Framers unfamiliar with the techniques may need training, and the initial use of these techniques may temporarily slow down framing operations. In general more planning is needed when using these techniques.
