Cost & Investment Analysts

Build accurate cost models with reliable data on production processes, costs and prices

If you are a Cost Engineer, Cost Analyst, Financial Analyst, or Investment Analyst, you are constantly faced with questions like:

  • What are the manufacturing expenses of this product under current market conditions?
  • How do operating costs (OPEX) distribute across feedstock, utilities, labor, and fixed costs?
  • What level of capital costs (CAPEX) is required for a new plant — including inside battery limits (ISBL) and outside battery limits (OSBL) facilities such as utilities, storage, and auxiliary buildings?
  • How do costs and investment requirements vary across technologies and regions?

Answering these questions requires reliable insights — and that's where we come in. Since 2002, Intratec has delivered trusted analysis for Cost & Investment Analysts.

Industry Sketch

Key Challenges

Limited access to CAPEX estimates to validate EPCM assumptions

Difficulty comparing capital and operating cost structures across technologies and geographies

Featured Image

No access to granular, market-based data, forcing reliance on assumptions

Pressure to deliver fast, reliable estimates for negotiations and project approvals

How Intratec Empowers Your Decisions

Commodity Production Costs

  • Independent CAPEX and OPEX estimates supporting feasibility studies, early-stage screening, and financial modeling

  • Detailed CAPEX breakdowns including process equipment, bulk materials (piping, civil, structural, electrical, instrumentation), indirect costs, contingency, and owner’s costs, ensuring realistic Total Installed Costs estimates

  • Detailed breakdowns of OPEX (feedstock, energy, labor, utilities, fixed costs) enable robust techno-economic modeling

  • Standardized production cost analysis across technologies and locations, providing a consistent basis to compare alternative routes

Industry Economics Worldwide

  • Independent benchmarks for industrial utility prices that support OPEX modeling

  • Construction cost indexes that help adjust CAPEX estimates over time, keeping project cost models current

  • Location factors enable quick CAPEX translation between countries for consistent project site evaluation

Primary Commodity Prices

  • Independent benchmarks of raw material prices grounded in actual transactions ensure realistic inputs for cost models

  • Consistent datasets across multiple geographies enables cross-country comparisons

"What stands out for me is the consistency. I can line up costs from different plants, in different regions, and actually compare them without worrying about mismatched assumptions. That's something I couldn't do with other sources"

"You've got to watch out with data that comes from vendors — it's often biased. With Intratec, I know the cost models are independent, not shaped by suppliers' narratives. That independence gives me more confidence in the results"

"One tool I find especially valuable is the Location Factor, showing how CAPEX shifts from one country to another. That way I can quickly compare investment figures in different countries and have a baseline for discussions"
