Conceptual Design Optimisation
Typically 80% of life-cycle costs are determined at conceptual design demonstrating the importance of getting it right early on.
Our models and processes can be applied to almost any project large or small. To achieve the optimal design we need to evaluate the system-wide trade-offs of whole-life costs and benefits for all the involved parties as well as the overall energy efficiency. Once this is done we can then project manage implementation.
Cogitare recently applied the Systems Optimisation Process to the conceptual design for London Underground Line Upgrades, reducing costs by approximately £200m per line.
