AECOM are active in the field of Concept design and optioneering. Their services include:

High level cost modelling (CAPEX and OPEX)

Early stage cost modelling provides an auditable method of rapidly establishing budgetary figures in the absence of project scope, and when based on a client’s own historical data is a robust approach to developing future business plans.

Assemblies

Infrastructure clients may not always hold or have access to a historic dataset of project costs from which to create models for estimating purposes. Assemblies accept the bare minimum of asset details to provide an auditable cost estimate based on a rates library, allowing for the creation of repeatable and consistent costing across programmes.

Benchmarking

Benchmarking is an essential service for infrastructure clients to establish early stage funding requirements and to ensure contractor returns and estimates align with market expectations. AECOM as one of the largest multi-disciplinary consultancies in the world is uniquely placed to assist clients with benchmarking, especially international and pan-sector analyses.
