Cost Estimation

Cleopatra gives engineers the option of producing accurate cost estimations for simple evaluation of process design alternates.

Use Accurate Cost Estimation to Accelerate Process Design Evaluation

An accurate cost estimate lays the foundation for success. In order to deliver your project within time and within budget, the capability to compare and analyse the costs of process design is essential. The partnership between AVEVA and Cost Engineering fast tracks the design process. This is achieved by the use of comprehensive, accurate cost estimates to evaluate alternatives along a project’s lifecycle. From an early-phase conceptual estimate to a definitive detail estimate, you can minimise risk by ensuring the best possible quality and accuracy.

Cost Estimation

Cost Estimation comprises an essential part of the conceptual and front-end engineering and design process. It offers customers precise insight into the capital as well as operating costs of potential designs. Cleopatra (cost estimation) can be automatically applied to cost models in order to estimate total installation costs.

Unique Integration

Unique Integration

By linking the process design output parameters from early design alternatives with the Cost Engineering Cleopatra equipment cost models, the following is allowed for:

  • Process design parameters are directly fed into Cleopatra’s equipment cost models
  • Rapid comparison of cost impact of various design alternatives
  • Estimation of total cost of process design
  • Implementation of cost control throughout the project

Industry Standard Cost Estimation

Industry Standard Cost Estimation

It provides:

  • Accurate and reliable cost estimating
  • Complete and transparent estimates (for example, no black boxes)
  • Off-the-shelf cost data for process industries
  • Benchmarking and easy comparison of your design alternatives
  • Earned-value-management and integrated cost control

Integrating Cost Estimation into Process Engineering offers enormous value to our customers. This saves both time and money, by reducing the process design evaluation process.
