‘Value Management’ on the other hand has a wider reaching remit and whist it encompasses ‘Value Engineering’ at the outset, it is the complete 'Value Chain' that is explored in adopting ‘Value Management’ principles. Whist the ‘Value Management’ chain can be explored to offer a competitive quotation, whilst maintaining a high end performing product that meets the client’s specification, we are also keenly aware that products need to meet standards compliance and legislative requirements. Aluprof ensure that all their products are tested and fully comply with all UK standards to ensure the most up to date compliance certificates can be offered to the specifier for peace of mind. For example all our fire rated systems carry Certifire compliance and have reviewed in Warrington. Products are not only tested, Aluprof have an ongoing programme of various compliance testing across their whole range of systems to ensure that the boundaries of performance can be explored and expanded upon. One example of this is our cap-less fire rated ‘MB-SR50N EI EFEKT’ curtain wall system capable of EI60 fire protection. To date, we believe we are the only systems company in Europe to offer such a system. Serving the whole of the UK and Ireland, Aluprof UK’s head office and warehouse facility is located in Altrincham, Cheshire. 105 Aluprof systems are increasingly being specified on a wide range of residential and commercial projects across the UK. Systems are designed, fabricated and installed by selected, specially trained local companies, to ensure each fabricated product meets Aluprof’s exacting standards.
