A range of property and construction options is analysed using standard life-cycle costing
methodology. The options are to renovate the existing building, buy an alternative building …

Purpose The aim of the paper is to estimate life cycle costs (LCC) of the current housing
stock in the UK as part of sustainability assessment of the residential construction sector …

The history of the application of life-cycle costing (LCC) began in the UK in the late 1950s
and, until now, the state of its development as a concept is not clear. A literature review is …

Life cycle costing is gaining considerable attention particularly within the context of
sustainable construction. However, the application of life cycle costing in the construction …

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is widely recognized amongst practitioners and academics as a

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the result of an optimisation via
life cycle costs (LCC) depends on the assumptions made throughout the process of …

The objective of this paper was to explore long-term costs for a single-family house in
Sweden during its entire lifetime. In order to estimate the total costs, considering …

Most commonly, production cost is the main cost factor in construction and is often set to the
minimum, which does not necessarily improve the lifetime performance of buildings …
