Capital Project Definition

Identifying the capital outlays you’ll need for a project requires a thorough analysis of your goals, current assets and priorities. At the same time, you don’t need a scope of work and cost estimate that’s over-engineered and built from the ground up. At 1898 & Co., we provide a right-sized approach, giving you an accurate cost estimate so you can rapidly assess multiple business cases and build consensus and trust with key internal and/or external stakeholders on the path forward.
