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.

Key Challenges
Limited access to CAPEX estimates to validate EPCM assumptions
Difficulty comparing capital and operating cost structures across technologies and geographies

No access to granular, market-based data, forcing reliance on assumptions
Pressure to deliver fast, reliable estimates for negotiations and project approvals
