Cost estimates and optimisation

Programme cost estimation

Cost estimating is an iterative process - cost accuracy and basis depend on the current phase of the programme.

Several cost estimation methodologies and tools can be applied. Posiva has used the following cost estimating methods over the past years:

  • Parametric estimating
  • Analogous estimating
  • Three-point estimating
  • Vendor bid analysis
  • Expert judgement
