Many/most Owners do not have the knowledge, capability, or organizational buy-in to support life-cycle management of the built environment. Far too often focus is upon first-costs vs. life-cycle costs. Communicate that fact, and the associated major benefits of a life-cycle approach, or you aren’t doing your job!
