Welcome to Kpex: A New Era for Capital Cost Intelligence
CAF Corporation officially launches Kpex — the integrated cost intelligence platform for capital project professionals. What it is, who it serves and what comes next.
A Platform Built from Experience
Kpex was not designed in a laboratory. It was built from fifteen years of cost engineering practice — delivering estimates, benchmarks and independent reviews for capital projects across oil and gas, mining, power, renewables and infrastructure on every inhabited continent. Every module, every cost model and every analytical tool in Kpex reflects a real problem that cost engineers face on real projects.
What Kpex Offers Today
- Equipment cost models for major process plant equipment families (Module A)
- Facility-level cost models for oil and gas, power, renewables, mining and infrastructure (Module C)
- Location factor indices for 196 countries (Module Z.4)
- Cost adjustment indices for time escalation (Module Z.5)
- PDRI assessment tools for project definition readiness (Module Z.6)
What Is Coming
The Kpex development roadmap includes historical project KPI benchmarks and cost curves (Module B), OPEX models for oil and gas (Module D), decommissioning cost models (Module E), and expanded benchmarking coverage for renewable energy, mining and infrastructure facilities.
Who Kpex Is For
Kpex is designed for cost engineers, project managers, owners, developers, EPC contractors and financial institutions who need accurate, defensible cost assessments for capital projects. Membership tiers — from Explorer (free access) through to Enterprise and Data Partner — are designed to match the platform value to the needs and scale of different organisations.
