The Problem

Most infrastructure teams still make planning decisions based on first costs alone. As a result, they miss out on funding, overlook long-term operational savings, and fail to fully account for social and environmental benefits.

This not only weakens the business case—it also jeopardizes your ability to meet Envision LD3.3 requirements and achieve higher certification levels.

We deliver robust, data-driven economic evaluations that go beyond checkboxes—quantifying lifecycle costs, co-benefits, and long-term value in ways that align with sustainability, resilience, and funding goals.

Why Economic Evaluation for Envision LD3.3 Matters:
Build Infrastructure That Lasts—And Proves Its Worth

Envision’s LD3.3 credit encourages design teams and infrastructure owners to move beyond first-cost thinking and demonstrate the full economic implications with the broader social and environmental benefits of a project through economic analysis.

Autocase supports this by helping teams:

  • Justify the business case of your project by quantifying life-cycle costs as well as social, environmental, and financial benefits of project alternatives
  • Measure and integrate co-benefits (e.g., emissions reduction, public health, and equity) typically assessed only qualitatively
  • Apply cost-effectiveness metrics like Net Present Value (NPV), Payback Period, and Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR)
  • Strengthen funding applications with evidence-based justification
  • Enhance decision making by encouraging the effective management of resources and assets
