In complex, capital-intensive projects, accurate and defensible cost estimates are critical for securing funding, progressing through stage gates, and delivering with confidence. At Cost Time Risk, we specialise in providing high-quality cost estimates that support executive decision-making and withstand rigorous governance and assurance processes. 

We understand the unique challenges of major projects in the energy transformation and renewables sector — from emerging technologies and regulatory frameworks to supply chain uncertainty and market volatility. Our approach is built on proven estimating methodologies, deep sector expertise, and a disciplined, transparent process that gives project sponsors and oversight bodies confidence in the numbers. 

Our cost estimation services include: 

• Capital cost estimating for funding applications and investment cases 

• Progressive estimate development aligned to project stage gates (Pre-FEED, FEED, FID, delivery) 

• Benchmarking and market intelligence to validate inputs and assumptions 

• Risk-informed estimating incorporating contingency and probabilistic analysis 

• Peer reviews and independent verification to support governance and assurance 

With extensive experience supporting government and privately funded projects, we deliver estimates that not only inform project delivery, but also align with the expectations of oversight agencies, investment committees, and funding bodies.
