Decisions in the construction
industry are often made on the purchase cost of capital equipment,
with little consideration to long-term running costs and the
expected life of the equipment.
In the short-term, this route may well deliver the project within
budget, but in the longer term it will fall short of providing
the client with the best deal - one that will be good for their
business and for the environment.
The collation of " life-cycle costing" data is an
area in which Aqua has great expetise. This data is used for
the assessment of design concepts and allows decisions to be
based on whole-life costs. Thus, initial capital costs are balanced
against other important costs such as energy, maintenance, equipment
replacement and disposal costs. |
