Capital Budgeting
Life Cycle Costing (LCCs) are the summation of cost estimates from the inception of a construction project to the disposal, Cost Umbrella provides expertise by implementing different financial ratios (NPV/IRR) for conducting LCC analysis. Our team is fully capable and has relevant experience of developing LCC model and later updating upon the change in scope.
Our experts validate the viability of the project by developing feasibility studies and identifying feasible alternative options. We have track record of providing Technical and Economical feasibility studies in which we provided detailed cost benefit analysis. Team Cost Umbrella has worked with prestigious organization supporting to establish a program providing CapEx and Opex expenditures. We provides benchmarking ratios of CapEx and Opex during the pre-contract stage and validate our benchmarking values with actual incurred expanses.
CU team is expert in developing master program in Excel capturing CapEx and Opex cost through out the year for ongoing projects. We provides rough order magnitude (ROM) cost for all asset classes such as residential, hospitality, retail, healthcare, educational facility, etc. CU team has worked on hundreds of projects of different asset classes and secure well organized and updated databases.
Cost Umbrella’s program management experts will help clients to navigate construction risk and enable our clients to deliver projects on time while meeting the budget, time and performance requirement. Our risk management team applies qualitative and quantitative risk mitigation techniques to manage risks, enables decision making and successful project delivery. Our LCC team experts provide following services.
Life Cycle Costing (LCC):
LCCs are the summation of cost estimates from the inception of a construction project to the disposal, as determined by an analytical study and an estimate of total costs forecast in annual time increments during the project life, with due consideration for time, value and money. Cost Umbrella provides expertise by implementing different financial ratios (NPV/IRR) for conducting LCC analysis. Our team is fully capable and has relevant experience of developing LCC module and later updating upon the change in scope.
Capital projects does not vary significantly from project to project, front end loading (FEL) is the best technique to make a positive impact on the life-cycle of a major capital project during the early conceptual and planning stage. Cost Umbrella provides feasibility study to verify whether the project is viable, both technically and commercially by following FEED basic specification.
Feasibility Report / Market Studies:
Cost Umbrella validate the viability of the project by developing feasibility studies and identifying feasible alternative options. We have track record of providing Technical and Economical feasibility studies in which we provided detailed cost benefit analysis.
Value Engineering:
VE method is employed to improve the value of the project by examining the function of each item or element and the corresponding associated cost. Cost Umbrella worked on multibillion projects weighing the cost/benefit ratio and suggested our valuable clients best alternative construction solutions with significant cost reductions. CU team has technical exposure of highlighting the project components which can be lower in cost while keeping the same value and function of project.
CapEx / Opex (Hard & Soft Costs):
Team Cost Umbrella has worked with prestigious organization supporting to establish a program providing CapEx and Opex expenditures. We provides benchmarking ratios of CapEx and Opex during the pre-contract stage and validate our benchmarking values with actual incurred expanses. CU team is expert in developing master program in Excel capturing CapEx and Opex cost through out the year for ongoing projects.
