New guidance on whole life value procurement

Achieving Whole Life Value in infrastructure and buildings (BR 476) gives practical steps to unlocking Whole Life Value (WLV) to those who own, commission, design and deliver infrastructure and building projects. It explains effective methods, techniques and tools to achieve WLV in planning, commissioning and maintaining assets such as schools, offices, highways and repair and maintenance schemes. The guide contains case studies illustrating the application of WLV principles on a selection of projects.

Das Mootanah at CIRIA said: “Both public and private sector clients are trying to tackle issues such as whole life costing, risk and value, and sustainability from the earliest stages of project procurement. This often entails consulting with stakeholders, who often have differing priorities and objectives, to bring about not only business benefits but also benefits to a wide range of stakeholders.”
