Course Description
Life Cycle Costing (LCC) enables participants to evaluate the combined capital and operating costs of different ways of managing built assets and delivering construction projects. Assets can range from entire estates down to specific systems and components and projects can range in size from small plant replacements, to major refurbishment and new-build works. But the same life cycle costing principles must be applied in each case. This course takes delegates from the very basics of Life Cycle Costing, through to advanced applications of the technique in realistic situations.
Course Objectives
- Have an appreciation of the complexity of sensitivity analysis
- Know the methodology and main principles of Life-Cycle-Cost Management
- Carry out any cost estimation task using available information
- Learn about Activity-Based Costing and various Life-Cycle Costing methodologies
- Learn how to combine these approaches to produce the best overall cost management advice to a decision-maker
Who Should Attend?
- Facility Managers
- Designers
- Contractors
- Product Manufacturers
- These who need to calculate life cycle costs to help make better decisions
