The challenge for most schemes is demonstrating that value-for-money is being achieved. On projects that have between a 20 to 35 years occupancy term, where the annual charge is the true cost, a different set of comparative measures are required.

Davis Langdon's Healthcare team has an ever expanding data set of health projects to draw from. Our comparative data is taken from a real-time project passport that informs client projects across a wide array of critical criteria.

As well as more traditional capital cost measures, we are able to weight operational space. This means that tenant lease plus payments can reflect the standards our client’s enjoy. This evaluation of effective benefits under a space/time utilisation evaluator is unique to Davis Langdon.

The scope of our benchmarking vision takes our clients to an unprecedented decision making level. We do apply tried and tested methods of market testing, however, we recognise the need to compare like-with-like – this weighting is the key to even greater efficiency.
