Target Value Design
Revit Guides
Data Management
Target Value Designs (TVD) focus is on reducing the cost of a project without reducing the quality of the end product or extending the timetable. The team sets a cost target for the design and construction, which is usually the current estimate. TVD aims to achieve this goal by defining costs as a design limitation and not as a result of design. [1]
TVD process was created in the 1930s when manufacturers used it to reduce their production costs so that their final product would be in line with market prices. The TVD process continually optimizes the design to achieve the desired end product without running out of time or cost.

How To
Secondary Supply – diverse cable route
This guidance covers the routing of secondary supply cables from a life safety generator to the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch), and the final equipment with reference to:
BS 7671:2018+A2:2022, specifically Section 560: Safety Services
BS 8519:2020, with emphasis on Clause 7 (Cable Routing) and Clause 11 (Cable Selection)
The goal: clarify requirements for the diverse cable routing and maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions for systems that support life safety and fire-fighting applications, such as sprinkler pumps, fire-fighting lifts, and smoke control systems.
