Development Feasibility & Lifecycle Cost Planning

No one has time to be an expert in all areas. With our systems, you can evaluate and rank development concepts with full capex and opex schedules – without the need for original research on costs.

  • Where can I go to get quick yet accurate cost estimates and project schedules without having to research the data myself?
  • How can I see the impact on my project of the variation in costs such as steel, exotic materials or new technologies?
  • How do I assess that the correct contingency is applied to my cost estimates for the current market conditions?
  • How can I assess the uncertainty of my project economics?
  • How can I make trade-offs between capital expenditure and operating expenditure to give less down time and increase the value of my asset?
  • How can I design a strategic cost management system for the full lifecycle of the project?
  • How can I develop an opex model based on a capex cost estimation model?
