FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Kpex 1G is a session-based quick estimator for individual equipment components. It covers Module A (742 equipment families), the Location Factor Index (Z.4) and the Cost Adjustment Index (Z.5). You look up a component in a session and get a priced result — no persistent storage. Kpex 2G is the full cost intelligence platform: persistent projects and estimates, WBS builder, all modules A through Z (benchmarks, facilities, OPEX, decommissioning), collaboration, API and white-label reporting. All paid Kpex 2G tiers include Kpex 1G automatically — no extra charge.
Yes. Every project and estimate is private to the user who created it; no other user or organisation can see it unless you share it. Your estimates are never sold or shared with third parties, and they are used for anonymous, aggregated statistics only if you authorise it in writing. See our Data Confidentiality Commitment (caf-corporation.com/legal/data-confidentiality), which Enterprise customers can sign as an annex to their agreement.
Every paid tier can prepare estimates of every AACE class available in Kpex, from Class 5 (screening) to Class 2 (control). Tiers differ in volume and features, not in estimate class. Class 1 (definitive) estimating is under development and will be announced separately.
Practitioner includes up to 10 projects and 10 estimates in total, across all your projects — one in each of 10 projects or all 10 in one project. Each estimate counts from the moment it is created: you can edit and rename it freely, but deleting it does not give the slot back. Professional and Enterprise have unlimited projects and estimates; Enterprise includes up to 3 users, and larger teams are arranged under a custom agreement.
All Kpex prices are in euros (EUR). CAF Corporation Ingeniería de Costes SL is registered in Spain and operates under EU law. Invoices comply with Spanish VAT (IVA) regulations. Prices shown are net of IVA.
Yes. Kpex 1G (Component Quick Estimator, valued at 3,000 €/year as a standalone product) is included automatically in all paid Kpex 2G tiers — Practitioner, Professional, Enterprise, Enterprise+ and Data Partner — at no additional charge. The Explorer free tier includes 1G in limited mode (5 equipment families only, no export).
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time by contacting our team at info@caf-corporation.com. Upgrades take effect within one business day. Downgrades apply at the start of your next billing cycle.
Practitioner and Professional include a 14-day free trial — no credit card required to start. Enterprise and Data Partner demos are arranged directly with our sales team — email info@caf-corporation.com with subject: Kpex Enterprise Demo Request.
We support bank transfer and invoice billing. Enterprise and Data Partner customers may request custom payment arrangements. Contact info@caf-corporation.com to confirm your preferred method.
Choosing annual billing gives you 2 months free (approximately 17% discount) compared to monthly billing. The full annual amount is charged upfront at the start of each year.
Explorer, Practitioner and Professional are single-user licences. Enterprise includes up to 3 users. For teams larger than 3, contact our sales team — additional seats are available and priced individually based on your team size and requirements. Enterprise+ has no user cap. Data Partner includes unlimited users.
Kpex Exchange is the cost data marketplace within the Kpex ecosystem. Vendors (manufacturers, distributors, engineering firms) can list their equipment, publish price lists and receive real RFQs from estimators using Kpex 2G. Vendor Basic starts at 1,900 €/year, Vendor Pro at 4,500 €/year.
Data Partners are EPC contractors, owner-operators, PMC firms or financial institutions that contribute executed project cost data to the CAF benchmarking network. In return they receive full Kpex 2G Enterprise access, revenue share on their data, co-branding and an advisory board seat — no annual subscription fee.
Yes. Contact info@caf-corporation.com to cancel at any time. You retain access until the end of your current billing period. We do not charge again after cancellation.
