This re- search dealt with the extent to which cost: efficient constructon can lead to bulding damage andin which construction compo- nts linvations are acceptable, f technical durabilty is guaranteed. in order to provide ‘2ctors in planning and conetruction with well4ounded recommendations for con- suction types with long-term usability, a ‘umber of existing multifamily houses were researched according to these aspects. Rescarch methodology A frst, based on a iteature review and a survey conducted among architects developers, and conshuction experts, 33 ‘multifamily houses bull between 1984 and 1996 wore identified at diferent locations ‘within Germany. Their constuction costs (DIN 276 cost groups 300 and 400} ranged from €1,020/m® to €2 880 /ré. In order to take diferent structural systerns into ac ‘count, 28 buildings with sclid constriction {and seven with wood construction were elected. Eleven houses required compre hensive modernisation already win 6 to 18 vyears after completion. Due to this relatively high share of $3%, the question arises uhether a drect connection between cost. efficient buding methods and low degrees (of durability can be inferred. More detailed regoarch on fourtoen mult family houses is Intended to validate this observation. Resuits In sum, however, the evaluation of all data submited by survey participants shows that Ccost-ofciontly built mult-family houses aro not more damage-prone than conventionally constructed buildings.

Planning that is itetigent, ‘ocherent, and optimised, 28 well as smooth construction processes in which trades dont cbstruct each other require a certain amount of time. In this regard, a limited ‘budget is easier to deal with than a lack ot time or know-how. Numercus posite ‘examplos within ths study indicate tis. The ‘opportunities for cost reduction are greatest al te beginning of the planning and con- Struction process, The more the project proceeds, however they signiicantly de- cline, and towards the end of the planning ‘phage, fall blow 50% of ter potential. The ‘measures for cost reduction featured in te survey refer to all phases of the construction process, Le. bulldingrrelated and non-buil Ing related.

(One particular aspect of early savings is an Invitation to bid witiout specifying conetruc- tion types, independent in terms of material ‘and mears of construction, Here, planners detine dimensions of building compenents ‘and thet required characteristics according ta structural engineering, thermal insulation, and sound prooting as wall as fre proofing, Bidders may suggest the most cost-afficient altemative, and thus, corporate their own ‘experience.

This isthe reason wiy the study deals particularly with these construction- related acters The major cf savings potentials stated by suey panicipants include constuction rationalisation, olement-based metiods, and prefabrication of construction components. ‘The use of standardised constuction com- ponents such as windows, deers, etc. leads to saving costs, as opposed to craftsman: based and custom solutions that tond to be moro expensive.

Evaluation of savings options In many objects, this study found deticlen- cigs that weren't attributable to low budgets, but instead carelessness in planning and construction supervision, as well as the un fortunataly oten low qualification of con struction workers, Demands placad cn planners and construction supervisors in the past years have risen signiicantly, due to the fact that competition within the building industry has increased continuously, and as result, cost and time prossure. ‘A datallod observation of complated con structions wit) a particular emphasis on detailing and damage-susceptbilty is ilustated within the study according to504 _Dursbliy and Falow-up Coots ef Costar Mutifariy Houses approxtnately 60 detail areas that were ‘applied to 14 of tne researched multifamily houses.

Infiuence of enargy costs on fie cycle costs Sustainability plays an ever-increasing role in many construction projects and architec- tural competitions. Many view itas a re duction ot primary energy demands. How ‘ver this Is only a partial aspect. In many cases, peers consider lfe cycle costs ident cal io energy costs. By applying the current NEY, these comprise only a minor part ot life cycle costs and cover no more than -15%, The optimization of energy costs Is, without a doubt, a slgnticanttaok, Sill, te ‘optimization ofall cost catagorios i impor tant High standards of echrical bulging equipment often lead to reducing energy costs.

Lute cycle cost calculations in compeitions The diference of ife cycle costs between the “least expensive" and “mest expensive" design among competition entries is signi Cant.
