Making the right investment decisions starts with confidence in your estimates. Volk Consulting offers independent and unbiased Cold Eye Reviews for capital expenditure (CAPEX) projects to ensure your estimates are robust, reliable, and ready for fund approval.

With over 25 years of experience in delivering successful outcomes for mid-sized to mega projects, we bring unparalleled expertise to every investment. Our reviews cover all project phases, including FEL1 to FEL3 (Front-End Loading Phases 1 to 3), as well as Basic and Detailed Design stages. These critical milestones often conclude with the preparation of a new CAPEX estimate, making it essential to validate the estimates and assumptions before proceeding further.

With a critical and experienced approach, we assess existing CAPEX estimates to identify potential gaps, validate key assumptions, and benchmark costs against industry standards. This thorough analysis provides clarity and ensures that your project aligns with financial and strategic goals.

Whether you're finalizing an estimate or seeking a second opinion after completing a project phase, Volk Consulting's cold eye reviews deliver valuable insights to support sound decision-making and optimize capital allocation.

We are experts in providing these services for the Oil & Gas and Pharma industries, leveraging deep sector-specific knowledge to address the unique challenges and requirements of these fields.

We guarantee up to 30% estimate accuracy using benchmarks before Basic Design is completed. This capability is particularly crucial, as many projects require fund or investment approval prior to the conclusion of the Basic Design phase. By ensuring precision early on, we help de-risk decisions and provide a solid foundation for project approval.

Let Volk Consulting leverage over two decades of proven experience to help you unlock greater confidence and success in your CAPEX projects.
