Description
Life-cost approach to building evaluation comprehensively addresses in a reader-friendly, accessible way the fundamentals of life-cost
studies in the built environment. It includes the time-value of money, discounted cash-flow analysis, differential price-level movement
and affordability fluctuations. Contemporary issues such as occupancy costs, sustainability implications and value adding are also addressed.
Replete with illustrations and examples, this innovative book provides a holistic approach to evaluation that integrates life-costing
to broader social and environmental criteria.
Important features include:
- presentation materials to facilitate face-to-face and online
learning
- review questions
- worked tutorial exercises, and
- example examination papers.
Audience
Building and construction students, students of other related disciplines such as architecture or property; professionals, particularly those doing CPD work.
