Life-Cycle Cost and Risk Assessment Models for Building Construction, Use and Maintenance.
Development of virtual models to analyze and plan in advance the cash flows and risks associated with the construction, use, and maintenance of a building or infrastructure. Each model encompasses the necessary information at each significant stage of the building's life cycle, depending on the client's final requirements, associating information types with risk control activities and potential future scenarios. By using information inherent to the costs and timelines of products and activities, it is possible to define the economic flow of each stage of the project's life cycle, planning construction and maintenance activities in advance and anticipating critical scenarios for the building's or infrastructure's finances.Additionally, it is possible to consider parameters related to energy performance, CO2 emissions, and project sustainability, allowing for the analysis of future climate change scenarios and the verification of project conditions under environmental conditions different from those currently in place. Finally, it is possible to analyze climate risks by calculating the costs associated with preventing and/or repairing damage caused by extreme weather events.
Each model is developed using different software depending on the client's needs, the information required, and the life stages in which it will be used.
