Life Cycle Costing

Cost Management & Quantity Surveying

Life Cycle Costing

Our life cycle cost studies help you understand the total costs involved in owning and maintaining an asset, system, or component over a specific period. By accounting for operating and maintenance costs, which often surpass the initial capital investment, we ensure you make informed decisions about your capital investments.


Our studies provide valuable insights for exploring alternative options, shaping your long-term asset strategy, and showcasing your commitment to sustainability.

The holistic approach: beyond initial capital investment

In the realm of assets, the initial capital investment is just the tip of the iceberg. Our studies venture deeper, accounting for the ongoing operating and maintenance costs that extend over the asset's lifecycle. This holistic perspective lays bare the full financial picture, enabling you to make decisions grounded in reality and foresight.

Exploring options with insights

The field of life cycle costs is a treasure trove of insights. Armed with this knowledge, you have the means to explore alternative options and avenues. Whether it's choosing between different asset components or deciding on maintenance strategies, our studies provide the compass that guides your exploration, leading you to the most advantageous choices.

Championing sustainability and responsibility

Beyond financial gains, our studies embody a commitment to sustainability. By unveiling the hidden costs of operation and maintenance, we drive a conscious awareness of resource utilisation and its impact. With this knowledge, you are better equipped to shape your strategies in a way that aligns with responsible, sustainable practices.
