Cost Comparison Analysis

The Cost Comparison Analysis technique should be used for Owner / User Analysis of space requirements whenever any ownership options may be considered, since, unlike Tenant Representation, it includes tax considerations. Cost Comparison Analysis allows you to contrast and compare the After Tax costs of as many Leases, Purchases (also known as Buy and Use), and/or Build to Suit opportunities as you want, all on the same easily explained graphs, varying many different assumptions.

Buy and Use Analysis may be one or more of the alternatives when performing a Cost Comparison Analysis for an Owner / User. Structuring a Buy and Use alternative is the same as a standard Investment Analysis, except that, since the Owner / User is the occupant, there are no Revenues. There is an example Buy and Use Analysis shipped with planEASe as the cost_beach.ru Assumption Set.

There is a Cost Comparison Section on our Website in the Samples area with a movie showing a complete Cost Comparison Analysis based on the cost_beach.ru, cost_ocean.ru, cost_waterfall.ru, and cost_whale.ru. Assumption Sets shipped with planEASe and a PDF of Sample Reports from the same Assumption Sets. You can access the Website from within planEASe by choosing the Help / planEASe on the Web menu option.
