  • Abstract:
    This paper examines the current and potential use of life cycle costing in the New Zealand construction industry. The paper discusses empirical research from a survey of construction companies and property owners in New Zealand which examined how the life cycle costing technique is being used and what future expansion of the technique's use is likely. The paper discusses the way in which the technique is currently being used in New Zealand extending this discussion to the types of projects, stage in the project, and appraisal techniques employed when using the life cycle costing technique. As a concept the technique appears to be understood. However, full use of the technique is currently limited. Reasons for this are discussed in this paper.
