What is a cost-effective building?

What every owner desires is a cost-effective building. How do you define cost-effective? Depending on priorities and interests, cost-effective could mean different things to different owners. It could be any of the following:

• The building with the lowest first-cost structure
• The design with the least operating and maintenance cost
• The building which has the longest lifespan
• A facility where the users are most productive
• The building which provides the best ROI

An efficient project will certainly have one of more of these elements. However it is quite impossible to determine cost-effectiveness by a solitary benchmark. To establish cost-effectiveness would require a whole-life perspective, where all benefits and costs are assessed and equated over its useful life. To put it another way, a building design may be considered cost-effective if the benefits it provides is on par with alternative designs with a lower cost life, or overall cost to the owner.
