Overview

Life cycle costing helps to reduce the overall cost and maximize the benefits of a project by selecting the best design and components at the time of construction, and over the full life of the project. It is complex because potentially there are a huge number of costs to consider and time considerations are also a factor.

Take the first step in understanding and applying lifecycle costing to your projects by attending this RICS course. Our foundation course will give you grounding in principles of lifecycle costing and equip you with the ability to demonstrate comprehension of the methods.

The course will present the basic principles of LCC and how it can be carried out for different purposes and periods of analysis. You will learn how this tool can help to assess the cost performance of a construction work, including not only the initial costs but also the costs incurred during the operational stage.

The session will also explore the standard cost structure defined for LCC in construction projects and its element which provides a document that can be used by clients and professionals.

By the end of the course you will be able to:
• Demonstrate knowledge of the principles and steps of LCC
• Identify the benefits of LCC for clients
• Highlight how LCC can be used to predict cash flows or carry out option appraisals
• Point out when a LCC exercise is needed and how reports are constructed
