The Value Engineering Pioneer Mr. Alphonse Dell'Isola, PE, RICS, FSAVE The value engineering methodology for manufacturing was first developed by the late Larry Miles a General Electric employee during W.W.II, and later pioneered by Mr. Alphonse Dell'Isola, PE, RICS, FSAVE for its application, and use in the construction industry twelve years after his graduation from MIT in 1950. The Value Engineering Law, now known as Public Law 104-106 is, in great part credited to, Mr. Alphonse Dell'Isola pioneering of the application in construction, and his expert testimony to several Senate and House Committees. The Value Engineering Online Certification Course was developed by Al Dell'Isola, and is the "only" online course approved By SAVE International for Module I – Certification (Pt. I). Engineering News-Record cited him in 1964 for outstanding achievement in the introduction of value engineering to the construction industry. In 1968, he received the Distinguished Service Award and in 1981 was elected Fellow of the International Society of American Value Engineers (SAVE International).

Another book was released in 1997, Value Engineering: Practical Applications by R. S. Means Publishers of Kingston, MA. This book covers key project experiences and contains a disc of computer programs to aid the practitioner, He has been instrumental in introducing VE Programs in over 35 countries, 30 government agencies and 30 large corporations. He has conducted over 1000 contracts for various organizations and agencies on projects valued at over 55 billion dollars that resulted in implemented savings of some $2.5 Billion.
