Ongoing Consumable

Ongoing Consumable is a term used in architecture and refers to a type of material that is used in the construction and maintenance of buildings. This type of material is typically used in a repetitive fashion, and it is expected to be replaced or replenished over time. Examples of Ongoing Consumables could include paint, sealant, insulation, lighting fixtures, and other materials that are regularly used in the creation and upkeep of a building. It is important for architects to take into account the costs of these materials when designing a building, as the continuous replacement and replenishment of these materials can become costly over time.

Durability, maintenance, replacement, replenishment, cost.
