Long-term financial analysis and maintenance planning
Life cycle costing considers not just the initial construction cost, but the total cost of ownership over the building's lifespan. This includes regular maintenance, repairs, component replacements, and eventual disposal or renovation.
The Simplicity approach focuses on selecting durable materials and construction methods that minimize long-term maintenance while maintaining high performance standards.
| Maintenance Item | Frequency | Cost per Occurrence | Occurrences | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
