Integration of whole life cycle costing with sustainable facilities management for privatized building projects in Malaysia

Privatized building projects are escalating in Malaysia and render the importance of Whole Life Cycle Costing (WLCC) and Sustainable Facilities Management (SFM) as these are the two main features of the projects. However, in Malaysia, the guideline for these projects focuses only on WLCC but not on...

Additionally, Malaysia lacks standardized procedures for implementing WLCC and SFM.

The results revealed that the main barrier that hindered the WLCC implementation in the projects was the inconsistency in underlying philosophy and methodology whereas for SFM, there was a lack of guidance in the documentation. In order to drive the implementation of both WLCC and SFM, the findings showed that it is essential to define WLCC parameters and assumptions, besides reducing the life cycle costing for SFM.
