Alphonse Dell'Isola, PE, RICS, FCVS, has been working full-time in construction management and value engineering since 1963, conducting over 1,000 contracts for various organizations and agencies on projects totalling more than $50 billion in construction, and resulting in implemented savings of some $3.5 billion. The author has also conducted workshops, seminars, and briefings on value engineering, construction management and project cost control for over 15,000 professionals. Mr. Dell'Isola is currently President of Projacs USA, a consulting firm for project management, value engineering, life cycle costing and cost control. Prior to this position, he served as Director of Value Management for Smith, Hinchman & Grylls, a design firm in Washington, D.C. Mr. Dell'Isola received his engineering degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
