ARCADIS' sister company, Lewis & Zimmerman Associates (LZA), offers a full range of services designed to improve the value of your project.

LZA has conducted project studies on highway and transit projects, airports, correctional facilities, hospitals, educational facilities, buildings, water and wastewater treatment, storage, and conveyance projects, industrial plants, electrical power generation projects, and other construction projects. Members of our staff have analyzed more than 3,500 projects, ranging in size from $1 million to more than $3 billion in construction cost.

LZA is recognized as a leader in the application of Value Engineering (VE) techniques in the construction industry. Our project team is experienced not only in VE techniques but also in facility design, construction, and operation. In each VE project study that LZA undertakes, the project team establishes a close relationship with the owner and the designer to ensure that the information relating to the project is correct and appropriate and that the results of the study are in the owner's best interest. This close coordination helps develop trust between the designer and the VE consultant, which increases the implemented savings to the owner. Our recommendations do not cheapen the project but instead enhance the operational aspects of the project and improve its value.
