Project planning
Country project cost planner: CAPEX, TCO and RFQ budget
Choose a project country and enter your own assumptions. See a direct CAPEX answer, the cost formula and an undiscounted total-cost estimate before preparing a reviewed RFQ.
Project assumptions
USD figures below are editable hypothetical starting points, not prices for your country.
Cost answer for Ecuador
$1,375,000 Estimated project CAPEX
- Equipment CAPEX
- $920,000
- Installed CAPEX
- $1,250,000
- Contingency
- $125,000
- 10-year total cost (undiscounted)
- $3,175,000
Project budget scenarios
Apply the editable sensitivity to your entered project CAPEX and annual operating cost. These are arithmetic alternatives, not local price forecasts.
| Case | Project CAPEX | 10-year total |
|---|---|---|
| Base | $1,375,000 | $3,175,000 |
| Lower-cost case | $1,168,750 | $2,698,750 |
| Higher-cost case | $1,581,250 | $3,651,250 |
How the answer is calculated
Installed CAPEX = machinery + auxiliaries + freight + installation + civil works. Project CAPEX = installed CAPEX + contingency. 10-year total cost = project CAPEX + ($180,000 annual OPEX × 10).
No country-specific price is implied by selecting a country. Taxes, duties, financing, local constraints and engineering validation are excluded. Replace all assumptions with verified project figures before procurement.

Add your process, capacity, site conditions, utilities, scope and acceptance criteria to these assumptions. The RFQ builder carries the estimate forward for your review before submission. Global B2B Group then reviews the brief and researches potential fits; no supplier receives it automatically. Any introduction requires David or authorized-team approval.
Complete project workflow
From first estimate to reviewed project decision
Use the stages that fit your project. Calculator results can feed the editable RFQ; the saved RFQ becomes the baseline for readiness and proposal comparison.
- 1. PlanScope, capacity, utilities, CAPEX and lifecycle cost.
- 2. Test financeDebt capacity, DSCR and independent-provider pathways.
- 3. Define FATWrite measurable acceptance and release criteria.
- 4. Build RFQTurn assumptions into one editable procurement brief.
- 5. Check readinessFind missing scope before the RFQ is reviewed.
- 6. CompareEqualize proposals against the approved RFQ baseline.
- 7. Human reviewGlobal B2B Group reviews the project before any approved introduction.
No supplier contact, specialist-platform routing, financing decision or introduction happens automatically. Final action requires Global B2B Group and authorized-team approval.
