This research aims to design a comprehensive conceptual model for applying value engineering in residential projects, with an emphasis on stakeholder benefits and risk management throughout the project lifecycle. Value engineering, as a structured and creative approach, is used to optimize costs, improve quality, and enhance the efficiency of projects. Alongside this, risk management and stakeholder analysis play an important role in identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks, as well as managing the benefits and expectations of various groups in the projects. In this study, a four-layer conceptual model for optimizing residential projects is introduced, which includes the layers of value engineering, project management, stakeholder management, and risk management. This model has been eva‎luated using library research methods, concept integration, interviews with key individuals, and a case study on a residential project. The findings of the research indicate that the simultaneous use of value engineering and risk management throughout all project stages directly impacts the reduction of unnecessary costs, improvement of construction quality, optimization of project scheduling, and ultimately the achievement of long-term project goals. Furthermore, the results of the analyses showed that implementing this model in residential projects leads to an increase in stakeholder satisfaction, reduction of execution delays, and improvement in resource management. Specifically, the application of value engineering principles, combined with the systematic assessment of risks and stakeholder needs, enhances the predictability of projects and reduces the likelihood of unforeseen problems throughout the project lifecycle. Overall, the findings of this research demonstrate that integrating value engineering with risk management and stakeholder analysis, as an effective solution, can improve the performance of residential projects and better achieve their economic and technical goals. Therefore, it is recommended that project managers and policymakers in the construction sector consider the adoption of this model as one of the key strategies in the planning and execution process of residential projects.
