520 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
