Modern building materials and techniques increase freedom in design; by their variety they also increase the difficulty of finding the most economic design solutions. This Digest outlines an approach to cost planning that takes into account both initial costs and running and maintenance costs. For example, it discusses the effects of design decisions on material and construction plant costs, and compares the cost of adding glazing to a roof with the savings from reduced lighting costs.
