Built-In Value Engineering Section

Clients often ask "Is there a cheaper way to do this?" or "Can we swap this material?" — and right now there's no structured way to present VE options inside Handoff.

Request: Add a "Value Engineering" tab to every proposal, where I can tag any line item as:

• Base design
• VE Option – Add Alternate
• VE Option – Deduct Alternate

Each VE option should show:

• Current item (description, unit, qty, cost)
• Proposed alternative (new material/system, revised cost)
• Impact on scope (what's added/removed/changed)
• Impact on time (days added or saved)
• Impact on results (quality, durability, aesthetics, warranty)

The client should see an auto-generated VE summary table showing total potential savings, total schedule delta, and key qualitative notes. This would help clients make faster decisions and keep my proposals professional when they want to cut costs.
