Operational cost intelligence for existing buildings

Life cycle costing

Estimate building maintenance and operating costs over 1–60 years. Break them down by renewal, maintenance and operational using current cash, future cash or net present value models.

Refurbishment and rehabilitation costs

Access average prices from rehabilitation and conversion projects to produce order of cost estimates. Rebase costs by location and date to reflect project requirements.

Component life data

Compare the median, minimum and maximum life expectancy of more than 300 building components, and explore factors that can cause early deterioration.

Maintenance and refurbishment rates

Access Schedule of Rates data for existing buildings, including painting and decorating, plant hire, dilapidations, alterations and refurbishment. Adjust rates by contract value to reflect economies of scale.

BCIS Maintenance and Energy Cost Indices

Track changes in BCIS Maintenance Cost Indices, BCIS Energy Cost Indices and Measured Term Contract Updating Percentages. Historical trends can also support planned maintenance programmes.

Running cost benchmarks

Benchmark building maintenance, decorations, fabric and services, cleaning, utilities and administration costs across a wide range of building functions.

Market intelligence

Access quarterly briefings on maintenance, cleaning and energy expenditure, with economic commentary, wage and materials cost trends and five-year forecasts.

Operational cost and carbon

Use the operational cost and carbon section of BCIS Life Cycle Evaluator (LCE), which combines cost and carbon data. Produce operational cost reports aligned with NRM3 and carbon reports aligned with RICS WLCA Modules B, C and D.
