Hollola and Porvoo municipalities in Finland have a lot of experience in funding public construction projects with the life cycle model. The people behind the decisions reveal their tips for successful projects.

Seppo Toivonen from the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency shares his views on the evolving toolbox for large-scale road projects.

Life cycle construction has become more common in public construction projects that require both long service life for buildings and predictable maintenance costs. When the contractor is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the premises even after the completion of the project, the customer can focus on high-quality everyday life. The life cycle model was used in the Kalliola school in Hollola, to the benefit of school staff, students and the representatives of clients.
