Capital Project Cost Estimating
Capital Project Cost Estimating
(OP)
I'm a project engineer at a batch chemical manufacturing facility, currently managing projects ranging from $10K to $5MM. The existing state of our capital cost estimating system is poor and haphazard. I would like to locate a reliable estimating system (preferably software) which is geared towards chemical process systems, and which can produce estimates in the +/- 20% range. We have used Questimate software in the past, but it appears to be morphing into a huge project management software package, which is more than we need. I would be most appreciative if someone with some experience in this are can point me in the right direction. KEWE

RE: Capital Project Cost Estimating
I am doing a project on the evaluation of various capital cost-estimating softwares. I agree, that not many softwares are avaliable that can do the costing in detail!! But, some softwares are available that can find the equipment costs during the conceptual design phase of the project like:
1. Icarus (Aspen tech)The complete cost-estimation package.
2. Econexpert
3. EstPro
4. Capcost
5. Matche
Hope this information helps you...
