Construction Economist cost Analysis Perspective

Cost-effective doesn't mean cheapest. In construction economics, cost-effective means best value over the life of the installation - accounting for initial cost, maintenance cost, replacement cost, and the cost of disruption during maintenance or replacement. Polyurethane beams often have a higher initial cost than cheap alternatives but a lower total cost of ownership. Here's the economic analysis that supports this conclusion.
