Abstract

Presents the concept of whole life costing, its principles and a method of producing qualitative whole life costs. Discusses aspects which affect the choice of footway materials and the wider costs, such as claims, accidents, regeneration schemes and sustainability. Explores the impact of aesthetics. Considers ‘whole life value’ as a compromise between whole life cost and stakeholders’ requirements. Average costs and typical maintenance regimes are used to model the whole life cost of asphalt and flagged footways.
