How it works

What you get

Capacity is the driver
Every facility is sized by the capacity that drives its cost: barrels per day, megawatts, square metres, tonnes per day.
Site and project conditions
Terrain, access, seismicity, delivery model and other conditions adjust the cost where they really matter.
A cost breakdown for each facility
The total is split into its cost accounts, ready to become the WBS of an estimate.
Brought to today and to the site
Costs are escalated with the Kpex Cost Index and can be moved to any of 197 countries with the Location Factor.
