Life-cycle cost calculation and consulting

We assess alternative life cycle costs

Lifecycle cost assessment is most effective at the early stages of your project, when you have the greatest opportunity to influence total expenditure. We provide detailed cost estimates for the operational phase of a building, either as a standalone report or integrated with a carbon footprint assessment. Our experts will also support you in interpreting the results.

Evaluating lifecycle costs (LCC) enables informed decision-making throughout the design process, from structural solutions to HVAC and electrical systems. With our support, your choices will be based on clear, data-driven calculations.

We compare investment alternatives to support profitable decision-making

An investment profitability analysis helps identify the most cost-effective implementation option. Our approach combines in-depth construction cost expertise with up-to-date property market insights. We deliver clear, comprehensive profitability assessments, complete with cash flow analyses and practical recommendations to support the financial success of your project.

Our analysis includes a review of current market conditions, a comparison of land use alternatives, and identification of the most profitable districts. We also create scenarios that account for uncertainty and risk, ensuring a well-rounded foundation for your investment decisions.

“A future-focused approach – assess the full cost of your building through lifecycle calculations.”

We calculate maintenance costs and energy consumption for the years ahead

Effective management of lifecycle costs and energy efficiency is essential when making investment decisions in both new construction and renovation projects. Increasingly, legislation is also steering construction towards energy-efficient and environmentally responsible solutions.

Over time, a property’s energy and maintenance costs can exceed its initial acquisition cost. We help you identify the most cost-effective and environmentally sound heating solution from a range of advanced options. Our assessments of energy consumption, goal-setting, and comparison of actual usage to targets provide a solid basis for informed decision-making, alongside key indicators such as energy efficiency ratings and classifications.

Clear key figures for maintenance and acquisition costs help you determine a competitive rental or consideration level for your property. You can estimate the payback period for an energy-saving investment, such as additional insulation or window replacement.

Our risk analysis is a smart way to prepare for the future

Our cost risk analysis identifies the hidden cost risks of your building project and illustrates the probability of their realisation. At the same time, you gain insight into realistic target costs and can define appropriate project reserves based on our assessment. This keeps you informed about the accuracy of your cost estimate and enables timely corrective action when needed.

We can also carry out the cost risk assessment as a workshop, involving all project stakeholders in identifying risks and committing collectively to managing them in line with agreed cost targets.
