Notes ID: 38; A cross sector forum of 30 organisations subscribing to a three year project (co-ordinated by the building research establishment) aiming at development of whole life cost and performance data for buildings. No details of definitions or data are given in the summary information. Members are reportedly paying £3,000 per year. One summarised example suggests a 4 to 1 ratio of capital costs to total revenue cost but issues of timing, refurbishment or details of what is included in occupation costs are not given. Given the notorious subjectivity of even cost benchmarking and the existence, in the public domain, of two cost guides (IPD, 1999: Office of Real Property, 1999) the absence of detail at this site was disappointing.; RP: NOT IN FILE
