Feasibility studies and preliminary factory design

• To decide about an investment, the feasibility study is the first step that allows the estimation of the potential risks and the return of the investment in terms of time and income.

• Based on market research that considers the potential business growth, the competition, the distribution and sales possibilities as well the price levels, the capacity of the factory is estimated.

• From the capacity of the factory the land can be located and the factory preliminarily designed to obtain the budget cost for the building, and all the related mechanical and electrical plants. The running cost can also be estimated in relation to the production, the location and the services available nearby.

• Comparing the costs estimated in the previous steps plus the financial costs with the potential income from the sales, the return of the investment can be calculated and if satisfactory the project can start.

• The final project with tender documents is issued.• Suppliers are going to be selected and the quotation

checked to comply with the specifications. • When the suppliers selection is done construction

design can be provided and the works can start up to the testing and commissioning of the whole factory.

Summarizing:• The advising services are

provided step by step with the benefit that a wrong investment can be recognized from the beginning minimizing the wasted costs.

• The cost for the go ahead on any project is the best investment because a project on wrong assumptions or data could be catastrophic

• Generally speaking the engineering and advising costs can vary between 1.5 and 7.5% of the total investment inversely to the amount (the higher the investment the lower the %)

Advantages• The design in several steps allows to modify the

project according to the data acquisition and strategies with minimal impact when changes occur.

• Any change in the design phase has a costs incomparably lower than in construction phase.

• Invest in engineering means to minimize changes and modification during construction reducing the wasted costs generated by such changes
