This document discusses maintaining asset value throughout the entire life cycle of a building project, from concept to operation, using a whole life approach. It introduces the concept of life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) which assesses the total cost of ownership and can be used to evaluate alternative design options and drive value engineering decisions. The document emphasizes how strategic facilities management input early in the design process can increase building efficiency, user satisfaction, productivity, and overall cost effectiveness of long-term operation through LCCA and consideration of operational requirements and maintenance needs. Several examples are given of how poor design can negatively impact later operational costs.

1. Maintaining Asset Value from Concept to Operation:
The Whole Life Approach

the St. Lucia Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Physical
Planning, Natural Resources and Co-operatives

2. Maintaining Asset Values
• Life Cycle – What is it?
• LCCA - Design Input
• Effects of LCCA
• Facilities Management Input
• Operational Requirements
• Poor examples that drive down value

3. Life Cycle Cost Analysis
• It has been around for many years
• Assess total cost of ownership
• Can be used to asses alternative options
• Can drive value engineering
• Not used extensively as should be
• Building Information Modelling

4. Life Cycle Cost Analysis -
Process
• Design Development – Operational input
• Assessment of Economic viability
• Identify costs and drivers – value engineer
• Sustainability – impact of
materials and equipment

5. Effects on Whole Life of a
Building
• Energy – Types of equipment
• Maintenance – Types of material and
equipment
• Capital Replacement
– Life expectancies
• General operating costs

6. Strategic Facilities Management
• Benefits of strategic FM input
– Facility designed for occupiers benefit
– Increased efficiency of use of facility
– Happier users
– More productive output
– More cost effective to run

7. How to add value to Infrastructural
Development
• Employ a FM Consultant at inception
• Operational Client brief – what they really
want!
• How to achieve this
– Life Cycle Cost analysis

8. Examples of Design Impact on FM
Many examples of poor design impacting on
operational cost
