LifeCycle

• Ability to create, share, and modify, your bespoke library of Cost Data Files
• Complete NRM (New Rules Measurement) list
• Fully integrated with the global VE Constructions and ApacheSystems databases
• Ability to enter life cycle information into construction and system databases
• Ability to store life cycle information of typical constructions or systems in lifecycle database
• Whole Life Cycle Cost analysis: capital, maintenance, operation, occupancy, end of life
• Calculation of Net Present Value
• Uplift factor to adjust the total maintenance cost, operation and clean costs to rapidly adapting one project to another
• Fully integrated with CostPlan for your capital costs

Inputs

Main categories include:

• Construction costs
• Maintenance costs: routine maintenance, major repair, minor repair, reactive repair, decorate, replace, clean
• Operation costs: clean, fuels, electricity, water, other
• Occupancy costs
• End of life costs: recycle, demolish, other

Outputs

Net Present Value

• Calculates Net Present Value (NPV) for a particular option
• Based on inflation rates (general, power and fuel) and the anticipated life of the building
• You can compare different design strategies in terms of NPV

LifeCycle cost data file

• data stored in the LifeCycle cost data file
• can be amended at any time
• can be used in other projects

Results formats

• multiple reporting levels
• graphs & charts of LCC Costs: cumulative (with or without construction cost, discounted or non-discounted), annual (with or without construction cost, discounted or non-discounted), by category
• a breakdown of annual costs (Net Present Values) for each LCC Cost Category for each year of the building life
• Complete database of results which can be interactively explored
