Total life cycle cost estimates for the [[Enhanced swale]] Full Infiltration design configuration is ($23,451.36), makign it one of the cheapest LID BMP options.<br>
Total life cycle cost estimates for the [[Green roofs]] No Infiltration design configuration is ($740,943.00), making it one of the most expensive LID BMP options. This is due to the costs of expensive components such as, waterproof membrane and flashing, roof insulation required, drainage layer and filter cloth, growing medium, the plants themselves and crane requirements for construction.<br>


It is notable that a sensitivity analysis was conducted in 2019 to compare construction cost estimates generated by the tool to actual costs of implemented projects. '''The analysis found that tool estimates were typically within ±14% of actual construction costs'''<ref>Credit Vally Conservation (CVC). 2019.
