Total Cost of Ownership: The Running Costs of Interactive Installations Beyond the Build

The Build Is Not the Whole Cost

A quote for design and installation feels like the main figure. Over several years, ongoing costs such as support, content and replacements can add up to a significant share of what you spend.

Ongoing Costs to Consider

Different installations have different profiles. We help clients plan these alongside the build in our installation projects.

  • Support and maintenance — regular checks and fault fixing
  • Software licences and updates — recurring fees
  • Content refreshes — keeping the experience current
  • Power and connectivity — running costs on site
  • Hardware replacement — screens and sensors wear out

Planning the full cost? We offer free consultations on installation budgets... Let's discuss your budget →

Plan a Lifespan

Most hardware needs replacing after some years. Decide the expected lifespan and plan funds for refresh or removal.

Compare Fairly

When comparing options, add up several years of costs, not only the first invoice. Agencies preparing proposals can discuss cost planning with us through our partnership programme.
