We do realize the mining industry has quite specific needs when it comes to cost estimating and project control due to the nature and locations of its projects. It’s not something everyone with just some cost engineering expertise can do. Fortunately, Cost Engineering has the knowledge and experience to understand the challenges of projects in the mining industry and can help create an efficient and accurate estimate of your next endeavour. It’s no exception that mining projects often face significant investment risks and that its profitability not only depends on the initial investment but also the operational costs and (expected) market price of the commodity. Therefore, an uncertainty analysis will be executed. This analysis will be executed with a Risk Software Program @Risk based on the Monte Carlo simulation to determine the contingency to derive the cost estimate confidence level. Opex and commodity price fluctuations can be taken into account in consultation with your own experts to ensure a well-informed and accurate investment decision. Planning is vital for the success of your projects. Each day a project gets behind schedule results in lost revenues. A good planner keeps an eye on progress, scope changes, as well as all outside factors which could influence the planning. Cost Engineering understands the importance of these influences and can assist you in developing a realistic planning for your projects. This ensures a tight integration between time, resources, and costs.
