DETERMINISTIC CAPITAL GOVERNANCE

Govern the Capital Decision — Not Just the Estimate

CapexIQ connects engineering, scope, estimating, market intelligence, schedule, risk, enterprise knowledge, and leadership decisions in one governed capital workflow.

AI assists. The deterministic engine governs. Leadership decides.

02WHAT CAPEXIQ IS

One Governed Layer Across the Capital Project Decision

CapexIQ turns fragmented project inputs into a traceable decision basis that can mature from early concept through detailed estimating without losing provenance, governance, or organizational knowledge.

Structure

Turn documents, engineering information, external estimates, and project inputs into governed scope and evidence.

Govern

Apply deterministic estimating, market validation, risk, change control, revisions, and source-aware enterprise knowledge.

Decide

Give project teams and leadership a defensible capital basis with clear assumptions, uncertainty, movement, and provenance.

One project truth. Every decision traceable.

03PLATFORM WORKFLOW

From Project Definition to Governed Capital Decision

CapexIQ creates continuity across the lifecycle instead of treating scope, estimate, market pricing, schedule, risk, and approval as disconnected work products.

1.

Understand

Documents, engineering information, external estimates, corporate knowledge, and project evidence.

2.

Scope

Assemble, classify, validate completeness, and preserve source traceability.

3.

Estimate

Factor-Based, Hybrid, or Unit Rate estimating as project definition matures.

4.

Validate

Benchmarks, corporate rates, external estimates, RFIs, vendor responses, and current market evidence.

5.

Control

Change impact, quantitative risk, schedule effects, governed revisions, and immutable history.

6.

Decide

Leadership review, approved baseline, funding basis, comparison, and enterprise learning.

04CONCEPT-TO-DETAILED ESTIMATING

One Estimating Environment as Definition Matures

Use the strategy that fits the information available today, then increase estimating depth without abandoning the governed project history.

EARLY DEFINITION

Factor-Based

Develop early capital views from governed equipment and project relationships when detailed quantities are not yet available.

QUANTIFIED SCOPE

Unit Rate

Use quantities, productivity, labor, materials, assemblies, and current project-specific rates for progressively detailed estimates.

05RFI & MARKET PRICING INTELLIGENCE

Bring the Market into the Estimate

Create governed pricing enquiries, securely receive supplier information, normalize commercial differences, compare responses, and explicitly disposition the evidence before it affects the estimate.

01

Prepare

Build the governed pricing request from approved project scope.

02

Issue

Send controlled enquiries to selected market participants.

03

Receive

Preserve original response evidence and submission context.

04

Normalize

Align scope, units, inclusions, currency, terms, and exceptions.

05

Compare

Evaluate responses on a like-for-like governed basis.

06

Disposition

Accept, reject, qualify, or retain evidence with rationale and auditability.

Market evidence does not silently become enterprise knowledge.CapexIQ preserves the source, the decision, and the governed basis for reuse.

06ENTERPRISE CAPABILITIES

Built for Capital Decision Governance

CapexIQ combines estimating depth with the controls required to understand where the number came from, what changed, how credible it is, and what leadership should decide.

Scope & Project Intelligence

Govern scope, completeness, source evidence, assumptions, and project definition.

Equipment Cost Models

Use governed technical inputs, applicability ranges, scaling relationships, and model provenance.

Productivity & Duration

Translate quantities into productivity, craft hours, labor cost, crew basis, and indicative duration.

Change Impact Intelligence

Trace scope, quantity, specification, market, and schedule changes through affected cost and risk.

Quantitative Risk

Run governed uncertainty and discrete-risk analysis with P-values, risk contribution, and contingency basis.

Benchmarking & Scaling

Normalize across capacity, time, currency, geography, market basis, awards, and actual project performance.

Enterprise Knowledge

Separate CapexIQ, corporate, project, market, and actual-cost knowledge with governed promotion boundaries.

External Estimate Loading

Bring existing estimate work into CapexIQ while retaining source authority, mapping, normalization, and provenance.

Leadership Decision Support

Present estimate movement, uncertainty, schedule exposure, market evidence, and decision rationale in one governed view.

07EXTERNAL ENGINEERING & PROJECT DATA

Connect the Systems Your Projects Already Use

CapexIQ is vendor-neutral. Specialist systems remain authoritative for the work they do best; CapexIQ governs how their outputs become scope, estimate, market, schedule, risk, and capital decisions.

Σ

External Estimating Systems

Import and govern external estimates alongside CapexIQ-native estimating.

Engineering Platforms

Bring equipment, tags, quantities, technical attributes, and project structures into governed workflows.

CAD & Model Data

Use structured geometry, objects, dimensions, layout, and quantity information where available.

Spreadsheets & Collaboration

Govern existing workbooks, structured project tables, and connected enterprise file workflows.

Enterprise Scheduling

Connect estimate scope, productivity, duration, milestones, and detailed CPM schedule information.

$

Vendor & Procurement Data

Bring quotations, RFI responses, commercial evidence, and supplier information into controlled comparison.

Source-system authority preserved.Read first. Map and validate. Govern before use. Write back only when explicitly approved.

08COST + SCHEDULE INTELLIGENCE

Connect the Estimate to When the Work Happens

CapexIQ does not replace a detailed CPM scheduling platform. It creates a governed estimate-schedule basis, consumes approved schedule information, and identifies the cost and risk consequences of schedule movement.

Schedule change becomes capital intelligence.Time-phase cost, assess extended project overhead, identify escalation exposure, and preserve the decision basis.

09SECTORS SUPPORTED

One Platform Across the Sectors Your Projects Cross

Every CapexIQ subscription includes all supported sectors because real capital projects rarely fit inside a single sector boundary.

Advanced Manufacturing
Buildings & Siteworks
Energy
Industrial Gases
Infrastructure & Utilities
Pharmaceutical
QC
Safety, Compliance & Protection
Semiconductor
Specialty Chemicals

All supported sectors are included. Capacity — not capability — defines the subscription level.

All supported sectors, estimating strategies, Smart Modules, workflows, and platform features are available during the pilot.

Controlled Capacity

The pilot limits projects, runs, users, documents, exports, and sharing — not the product experience.

Real Evaluation

Structured onboarding, active usage, guided walkthroughs, and feedback are required so the customer evaluates CapexIQ on realistic project complexity.

CapexIQ limits capacity — not capability.
