When a new project of semiconductor factory is proposed, the company will require the constructing team to cut down the budget which is lower than a similar existing factory. Therefore, how to reduce the construction cost efficiently is the key issue of high-tech companies. In practice, we found that constructing team is lack of standard executive procedure to cut down cost. Although constructing team adapts “cost down plan” during the period, it only considers of budget not systematic analysis for whole function of factory. This research instanced a new semiconductor facility system engineering project, and then introduced the current practice executive method of cost down plan through case study. Meanwhile, by interviewing experts, reviewing documents and conducting a job plan in a case, we probe into the feasibility of value engineering job plan that conducts into a cost down plan at a construction project of a high-tech company. This research showing the current situation of cost down plan was mainly from owner’s experiences of engineering, operation, and vendor’s suggestions. If constructing team can get and sort the actual examples from existing factories, it can increase methods of creativity and decrease wide range of engineering cost. Through case study, there are several key problems as following: first, engineering consultants may be required for the team member rarely understand the application and operation of value engineering. It’s necessary that the value engineering should be applied in this area. Second, it is difficult to cut down cost because of hard to obtain detail price quotation from vendors and analyze cost model and function value. Third, it is important to appraise weighted evaluation which are safety, reliability and construction cost. The down turn of operation cost is the most important item of evaluation.
