Bespoke Production Cost Report
Assess the economic feasibility of any manufacturing process
With more than two decades dedicated to analyzing production technologies, Intratec has evaluated over a thousand industrial processes and emerging routes worldwide. Backed by a solid methodology, the Intratec team can deliver highly reliable techno-economic assessments in just a few weeks — a sharp contrast to small in-house teams, which often lack experience in this type of study and spend months producing less consistent results.
So if the process you need is not yet covered in our library of 850+ reports, you can request a bespoke report. Developed on demand, these reports focus precisely on the production route of your interest — whether a patented pathway, a lab-scale process, or an alternative technology highlighted in technical papers. The report will be built on assumptions you define — such as industrial plant capacity, location, and technology — while maintaining the same rigor and consistency of our off-the-shelf Commodity Production Cost reports.
As all Intratec Production Cost Reports, the bespoke report will be based on recent economic data (Q1 2026), and will include:
- Process Description: raw materials and utilities consumption, products generation, labor requirements, list of equipment, characterization of site infrastructure, process flow diagram (PFD)
- Capital Cost Analysis: costs of plant construction, working capital, owners' costs, commissioning, start-up and contingency
- Operating Cost Analysis: variable costs, fixed costs (salary, benefits & maintenance) and corporate overhead costs
And much more . . .
Request in Three Steps
Think About the Scope
First, align with your team on the scope of the analysis: think about the target commodity, process technology, plant capacity, and location. Additional assumptions and references (e.g. patents, articles) will help guide the study. The clearer the scope, the more valuable the Bespoke Report.
Request a Quote
Submit the online form with your defined scope and supporting data. Our team will review it and, within 3 business days, send the final quote and payment instructions. The quote is non-binding — you only move forward if it makes sense for you.
Development & Delivery
Once payment is confirmed, we develop the bespoke Commodity Production Costs report fully aligned with the assumptions you defined. Delivery happens within a few weeks, with the report following the same structure as our Production Cost reports.
What You Get in Each Report
Behind every cost estimate is a structured view of the process, its requirements, and the economics of building and operating the plant.
Plant Capital Cost Summary
Capital cost required to build the plant examined.
Plant Capital Cost Details
Fixed capital (ISBL, OSBL, and owner's cost), working capital, and additional capital requirements.
Plant Cost Breakdowns
Process unit (ISBL) and infrastructure (OSBL) costs, plus a plant cost breakdown by discipline.
Operating Costs Summary
Variable costs and the total operating cost of the plant studied.
Operating Cost Details
Utilities costs, operating fixed costs, and depreciation.
Plant Capacity Assessment
Capital investment and operating costs compared across different plant capacities.
Production Process Information
Block flow diagram, with descriptions of the process unit (ISBL) and site infrastructure (OSBL).
Process Consumptions
Raw materials and utilities consumption, by-product credits, and labor requirements.
Process Diagrams
Process flow diagrams (PFD), equipment list, and industrial site configuration.

Typical Use Cases
Evaluate emerging processes and innovative routes — from patents and technical articles to lab-scale concepts — supporting R&D teams with preliminary techno-economic assessments.
Assess different scenarios of a single project by adjusting assumptions such as capacity, location, integration of utilities, or by-product generation — enabling sensitivity analysis and evaluation of alternatives.
Compare the economics of alternative projects or configurations, supporting investment screening and helping decision-makers prioritize the most competitive opportunities.
Provide a robust techno-economic foundation for technology selection studies and early-stage conceptual projects, helping organizations compare alternatives and guide strategic decisions.
Understand the cost structures of suppliers and customers by modeling plants at relevant scales and locations, supporting negotiations, benchmarking, and strategic alignment across the value chain.
