We understand that the capital cost of construction is part of a
bigger equation of the whole life cost of a building. Whether it is
for owners/occupiers or developers, the need to understand the
whole life costs of any design solution is important.
For owners we work with the design team to create solutions to help
reduce the operating costs over time and enhance the asset value
for the balance sheet.
Similarly for developers, a building which can demonstrate the
whole life costs are better than the industry benchmarks, should
benefit from a fast let and/or a higher rental/commercial value.
We have experience of modelling the cost of components based on
their design life which allows clients to identify an appropriate
level of ongoing maintenance funding.
