Life cycle costing, properly done, enables them to achieve both – high quality and costs that meet their budgets.    \u003cp\u003eThe authors, widely recognized leaders in these techniques, show how LCC can work for a broad variety of projects – from several types of buildings, to roads and bridges, to HVAC and electrical upgrades, to materials and equipment procurement.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e LCC can be applied to every aspect of construction – from all types of buildings (commercial, educational, industrial, health care and more), to roads and bridges, to HVAC equipment and electrical systems upgrades and materials and equipment procurement. A \u003cb\u003elife cycle costs section\u003c\/b\u003e, a major part of the book, provides maintenance and replacement costs for all elements of the facility – from the foundation and structure to the walls and floors, plumbing, HVAC and electrical systems, and landscaping. The electronic \u003cb\u003elife cycle costing spreadsheet program\u003c\/b\u003e included with the book simplifies the process of applying LCC to users’ own projects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are also sixteen Case Studies that show how to apply LCC to particular facility types and building components, including:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHealth care and nursing facilities\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCollege campus and high schools\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffice buildings, courthouses, and banks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChemical plants and museum renovations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRegional highway systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExterior walls, elevators, lighting, HVAC, and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book’s extensive cost section provides maintenance and replacement costs for facility elements… from foundation and structure to walls and floors, plumbing, HVAC and electrical, and landscaping.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese proven methods are equally effective in new construction, remodeling, renovations, and restorations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlphonse J.
