👉 Bald engineering, also known as "bare engineering," is a design approach that prioritizes cost reduction and efficiency by stripping away non-essential features and components from a project without fully considering their impact on functionality or long-term performance. This method often involves simplifying designs, reducing material usage, and eliminating unnecessary systems or processes to minimize costs. While it can lead to immediate savings and streamlined project execution, bald engineering risks compromising the project's durability, safety, or overall effectiveness if critical elements are overlooked. It is most suitable for projects where cost constraints are paramount and the end-use environment does not demand high complexity or durability, but it requires careful balancing to avoid unintended consequences.
