Manufacturing Facility CAPEX Planner
A manufacturing CAPEX budget must reconcile three views: engineering (process), finance (depreciation classes), and tax (capital allowances). This framework structures all three from a single dataset.
Cost buckets
Process equipment (40–60%), utilities & services (12–18%), building shell (10–18%), automation & IT (5–10%), engineering & PM (5–8%), commissioning (2–4%), contingency (5–12%).
Depreciation view
Group CAPEX by asset class from the outset — process machinery, building improvements, computer equipment — so accounting and tax filings do not require rework.

The Industrial Project Budget & Cost Planner captures every dimension covered in this guide — procurement, logistics, engineering, contingency, financing readiness and risk — in a single dashboard, then hands off to the Enterprise RFQ Builder.
Frequently asked questions
10–18% of initial CAPEX for facilities designed to be upgraded; up to 30% for facilities not designed for expansion.
