Learning objectives: Identify and discuss the methods of producing building cost analysis and their proper applications. Explore the effects and predictability of design contingency, inflation and non-construction project costs. Examine life-cycle cost analysis, how it adds value to a project and how to convey life-cycle cost analysis results to project owners and team members. Discover and discuss the importance of energy efficiency studies and the benefits it can provide to the project in terms of ownership, occupancy, and sustainability.
