30–50%
We Help You to Reduce Your Costs.
Provide us with the lighting schedule from drawings, fixture counts, and any estimated costs. We'll optimize your lighting design and reduce your package cost by:
- Sourcing equivalent commercial-grade fixtures
- Holding the design intent, light levels & code
- Delivering a priced, order-ready schedule
Who is This For?
Our value engineering service is for teams planning, pricing, or building lighting packages. If your project has a lighting schedule, fixture counts, drawings, or early pricing — we can find savings without sacrificing design intent, light levels, or product quality.
Owners & Developers
We help you review your specification, find smarter fixture options, and reduce overall package cost while keeping the project aligned with design, code, and performance requirements.
Best fit: multifamily 150+ units
General Contractors
We help you find practical lighting alternatives that support the budget, schedule, and construction requirements. Review the schedule early and win the bid with a sharper number.
Best fit: bid stage & buyout
Architects
We protect the design intent. Our team reviews the specified fixtures, lighting goals, and application requirements, then recommends cost-effective alternatives that maintain the look, feel, and performance.
Best fit: design development
Why teams trust us with the spec
Value engineering isn't about the cheapest fixture. It's choosing the right product for the right application — and having the supplier relationships and paperwork to make the swap stick.
01
We know the real cost
We're a commercial lighting distributor — we see wholesale pricing every day. We know which fixtures are over-spec'd for the application, and exactly where the savings hide.
02
The spec stays intact
Every alternative is matched to the original photometrics, light levels, and code — with the documentation your engineer or architect needs to sign off.
03
600+ projects behind us
23 years supplying commercial and multifamily lighting across Western Canada. The savings on your project aren't a guess — they're a pattern we've repeated.
04
No lock-in
You get a complete, priced schedule. Order it through us, or hand it to your own supplier — the report is yours either way.

Straight Answers
The questions every project team asks before starting.
Will the engineer or architect approve the substitutions?
That's the core of our job. Every alternative we recommend is matched against the original spec's photometrics, code requirements, and design intent — and we provide the documentation your consultant needs to approve it. Protecting design intent is a stated part of our process.
Is VE product just cheaper, lower-quality gear?
No. We source from top North American commercial-grade manufacturers. Value engineering isn't about the cheapest fixture — it's about the right product for the right application. A corridor doesn't need an architectural feature fixture priced like one.
We're mid-bid. Is there time?
The intro call takes 20 minutes and we can flag the savings potential quickly. A complete re-engineered package takes about 4 weeks — and the earlier you engage, the more we can save before fixtures are locked in.
What does the review cost?
The review is free. We make our money supplying the package if you choose to order through us — but the re-engineered schedule is priced so you can order from us or your own supplier.
What do you need from us to start?
The lighting schedule from drawings, fixture counts, and any estimated costs you have. That's it — we take it from there.
