- Quantify equipment, materials, and services using PFDs, P&IDs, layouts, and tender specs
- Build and validate CAPEX and installation cost estimates in collaboration with procurement and engineering
- Align BOQs with GC cost breakdown structures and tender requirements
3. Technical Solution Definition
- Recommend technology/equipment solutions meeting client, GC, and regulatory standards
- Identify risk exclusions, assumptions, and interface management
- Support risk assessment and value engineering alternatives as requested by clients
