Cost estimation and cost management during the design and construction of a deep pea processing complex.

SCOPE OF WORK COMPLETED:

● Evaluation of alternative technical and structural solutions was conducted along with a cost comparison of options — the client received a substantiated basis for selecting optimal solutions as early as the design stage

● Value engineering was performed: a systematic analysis of design documentation identifying cost reduction reserves without loss of functionality and quality of the facility

● A system for change control and budget variance management was established — with transparent recording of each change and its cost impact on the project

● Continuous cost control was ensured across all stages of design and construction with regular reporting to the client

● Interaction with the designer and the Chinese technology partner COFCO was organized regarding the cost appraisal of design solutions

RESULTS:

● The client received an independent budget control tool over the entire project implementation horizon — from the design stage to commissioning into commercial operation

● Value engineering made it possible to identify and implement opportunities for CAPEX optimization without prejudice to the technical requirements of the facility

● Change manageability was ensured: each budget variance was recorded, evaluated, and approved within the established system — uncontrolled cost overruns were eliminated
