Common questions
How do you build cost benchmarks for capital equipment with only a few qualified suppliers globally?+
We combine bottom-up cost modeling with whatever comparable project and pricing data is available, since limited supplier competition means less public pricing data exists than in commoditized categories.
Can safety and environmental compliance history be factored into supplier due diligence?+
Yes, safety record and environmental compliance history are core screening criteria for capital project and equipment suppliers in this sector, alongside financial and operational due diligence.
