Whole life costing has been a subject waiting to come of age for
many years. What was previously of mainly academic interest is now
becoming a key business tool in the procurement and construction of
significant projects. With the advent of PPP and in particular of
PFI, details of the project life need to be assessed and tied in to
funding and operation plans. Many of these projects run to millions
of pounds and are of high political or social importance, so the
implications of the life of materials is crucial. A fundamental
requirement of these procurement routes has been that the whole
enterprise should be included within the bid, so that a company
takes on not only the construction but also the running and
maintenance of any building. Additionally as sustainability has
emerged and grown in importance, so has the need for a whole life
time costing approach, partly driven by governmental insistence. At
the heart of sustainability is an understanding of what the
specification means for the future of the building and how it will
affect the environment. Whole life costing considers part of this
and provides an understanding of how materials may perform and what
allowances are needed at the end of their life. This book sets out
the practical issues involved in the selection of materials, their
performance, and the issues that need to be taken into account. The
emphasis, unlike in other publications, is not to formularise or to
package the issues but to leave the reader with a clear
understanding and a sensible practical way of arriving at
conclusions in the future.
