5.6 Definition of Cost, Price and Value Cost is an amount that has to be paid or given up in order to get something. E.g. Procurement cost, construction cost and life cycle cost. Price is the amount a seller willing to exchange the product for. Price = Cost + Profits Value is what the building is worth.
5.7 Types of Estimating Cost Control • Approximate Estimate • Cost Planning • Life Cycle Costing (Cost-in-use)
5.7 Types of Estimating Cost Control Life Cycle Costing (Cost-in-use) • Life cycle costing looks at the cost of a component, an elemental or a building, over the life of the facility and compares alternative solutions to find the best long-term value for the client. It considers: • Capital or initial costs • Running costs • Maintenance costs • Replacement costs • Demolition or disposal costs
