LCC (Life Cycle Costing)

Specialist Life Cycle Costing to ISO 15686-5. CapEx, operational, maintenance, replacement and end of life modelled across the 30, 50 or 60 year service life. The financial mirror to LCA. Required by BREEAM Man 02 and referenced under GCC certifications.

What we deliver.

  • Service life definition per ISO 15686-5. 30, 50 or 60 years depending on building type and client mandate.
  • CapEx modelling. Initial construction cost by major system.
  • Operational cost. Energy from our energy simulation output, water, cleaning, security and utilities, indexed for inflation.
  • Maintenance and replacement schedule. Every major component plotted across the service life with replacement frequency.
  • End of life and residual value. Demolition cost, salvage value, disposal.
  • Net Present Value discounting at the client specified discount rate.
  • Comparative analysis. Proposed against alternative design options, with sensitivity analysis on key cost drivers.
  • Visual reporting. Cumulative cost curves, cost stack waterfalls, NPV comparison charts.

FAQ

LCA or LCC, what is the difference?
LCA quantifies environmental impact across the lifecycle. LCC quantifies financial cost across the same lifecycle. Complementary.
Which certifications require LCC?
BREEAM Man 02 explicitly. Estidama Pearl and Mostadam reference LCC within their resource credits.
