What is the building life cycle available to me in new construction and performance options?
The material selection to increase a building life cycle depends on the building’s environment and the owner’s expectations. Different materials have varying performance expectations and life cycles in different environments.
- Short-term (5-10 years): Typically for temporary structures or low-budget projects.
- Medium-term (10-20 years): Minimum standard for residential and commercial buildings.
- Long-term (20-50 years or more): For high-quality materials and systems designed for durability and minimal maintenance.
Performance options also vary, with choices including high-performance materials that offer better resistance to weathering, UV exposure, moisture, vapor, wind, chemical resilience, movement etc.
California consultants can interview the involved parties to identify the best solution, customized to the building’s environment and the owner’s expectations.
