Unique, dynamic approach to Whole Life Costing
Our approach to Whole Life Costing delivers benefits and added value to clients, such as:
- Ensures best value in refurbishment and new build projects by considering the whole life cost as well as the up front capital cost in option appraisals and feasibility studies
- Accurately forecasts future maintenance activities and costs of both new and existing buildings
- Identifies best practice and poorly performing properties, by benchmarking the performance of different buildings in your estate
Our research has shown that sustainability is a key consideration in all buildings, and with increasing competition for all forms of sales and lettings, our approach will provide a key differentiator to your properties. It will also assist clients in developing brands which are associated with leading in achieving the sustainability agenda.
Our approach is equally applicable to both public and private sector clients. It reduce the long term costs and increase the cost predictability associated with operating and maintaining any buildings you keep under management in your portfolio. An effective Whole Life Costing Strategy will also minimise future service charges to prospective tenants.
We have recently successfully completed a pilot project with LJMU, assisting in the development of a bespoke model which they can now utilise for their whole estate. In addition, we provided a detailed elemental Whole Life Costing statement on one of their new campus buildings.
With funding organisations now often including sustainability targets and considerations in their decision making criteria, and with government legislation likely to become more stringent, our approach will assist you in ensuring that your existing and new property portfolio meets and exceeds these requirements.
