Value Added Services
USP&E’s strong combination of worldwide building expertise packaged with our Value Added Services
is a key component of the company’s ability to provide exceptional value to our business partners, our
clients, and client’s partners. Value Engineering is construed to be deductive and dicey in the business
environment, however, USP&E believes that Value Added has the ability to be both deductive and
additive holding that the client receives the best value for the immediate and long term goals of their
business plans.
Integrity
We at USP&E are committed to integrity and ethical conduct. We promote an environment that
nurtures, promotes, and supports the principles of empowerment and responsibility. Paramount to our
commitment is continued validation and support of the highest ethical standards of fairness and
confidentiality. We respect differences and embrace diversity. We are committed to equitable
treatment and mutual respect for all of our employees and clients.
Commitment
USP&E is dedicated to providing quality products and services that consistently meet or exceed the
needs and requirements of our clients. It is the responsibility of USP&E and each of its employees to
maintain consistent professional communications and relationships with our clients and to maintain
our commitment to the highest standards of service, business practice, and safety.
