 <title>10-TIPS to VALUE ENGINEER HOME DESIGNS!!!</title>
 <link>http://www.bastiancustomhomes.com/news/10-tips-value-engineer-home-designs</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/images/Value-Engineering.gif" style="width: 298px; height: 325px; float: left;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are some ways to value-engineer your house to cut prices down while keeping your design&amp;nbsp;standards high.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Bring the fireplace inside.&lt;/strong&gt; Historically the wood-burning fireplace was a brick chimney located on an outside wall extending to the roof. As the fireplace evolved into a gas or electric appliance, projecting the firebox outside the wall can only be justified if the room becomes too small by not doing so.&lt;/p&gt;
