CESK Objects
Used for high-level feasibility and concept studies.
Do you already have an equipment list and PFDs, but no detailed Material Take-Offs (MTO) yet? The CESK Objects are the missing link between high-level estimating and detail estimating methods.
With the CESK Objects you can improve the estimate accuracy already at an early phase of the project. Even without a full Material Take-Off (MTO) sheet you can already build up your estimate with detailed quantities, using characteristic values.
The CESK Objects include typical equipment items (objects). The object models allow the user to specify the main parameters for various equipment types and automatically calculate not only the equipment supply cost but also all other related costs. All associated items are included in your estimate using the characteristic values of the equipment, derived from more than 2000 executed projects. This includes disciplines such as piping, insulation, painting, installation, electrical, instrumentation and civil.
In order to develop these metrics and to ensure that these can be used for other projects, the characteristic values are defined within certain boundaries, the Inside Battery Limit (ISBL).
CESK Objects integrates effortlessly with Cleopatra Enterprise, the project cost management software.
