Life Cycle Cost Assessment (LCCA) modeling provides a holistic view of the effectiveness of your proposed sustainable design, and enables you to make cost-effective decisions early in design. This assessment includes the financial and non-financial impacts within a building, taking into account first costs, costs-in-use, and long-term costs associated with replacement, operations and maintenance. Analysis includes energy and water use predictions, escalation and time value of money considerations. Results are typically presented in terms of Net Present Value, Simple Payback and Internal Rate of Return and include a sensitivity analysis.

Davis Langdon’s LCCA modeling incorporates:

• Analysis of design for operations, maintenance and construction costs
• Comparative cost analysis of individual materials or systems
• Start to end cost analysis of individual materials or systems
• Comparison with alternate and baseline materials and systems
