This methodology can help support the recommendation that installing a high-performance roofing system is more cost effective than low-cost alternatives, which end up costing more to maintain throughout the life of the roof. Life-cycle costing is increasingly being mandated by states and municipalities, and is an evaluation tool used by building owners and facility managers. Additional benefits:
- Evaluates the total cost of ownership over the required performance life span
- Looks beyond the initial cost of a roof
- Best use of taxpayer/capital dollars
- Professionally constructed, accurate, and easy to use
- Objective evaluation based on industry-specific investment rates of return
- Provides sound justification for the best course of action
- Cost per year of performance is the driving influence of roof system selection
