IntES Services: Cost Estimate
De Heus, a part of Koudijs, stands as one of the world’s leading producers of feed solutions for animals. Their products are meticulously produced to cater to the needs of large livestock & aquaculture businesses, as well as individual farmers all over the world. For over 100 years, De Heus has played a crucial role in advancing the agricultural sector by addressing feed specialty towards animal health needs.
Partnering with De Heus on multiple projects in Ivory Coast, Vietnam, and Cambodia, this time the IntES team is proud to continuously support our client with their next feed mill in Kenya. This project marks the first dedicated animal feed plant in this country, designed to cater to the current needs of the country’s farmers and agribusinesses.
The IntES team was given responsibility for this project’s cost estimates. Initially, we took the recently completed feed mill in Ivory Coast to be the reference. The detailed BoQ (Bill of Quantities) provides a comprehensive breakdown, requiring our partner in Kenya to price it accordingly. Our expert team members dedicated significant time to reviewing the input and discussing the pricing to ensure the most appropriate consideration.
The first thing the team did was to adapt project requirements to the most suitable plot in Kenya, with these adjustments approved by the client. Subsequently, some specific items required in the previous Ivory Coast project, such as the retaining wall, were not applicable and the site location/setting was prepared. Additionally, more items specifically required for this feed mill in Kenya, such as different foundations, piling, etc. are added as they play a crucial role in this project.
Furthermore, based on our experience from numerous feed mill construction projects, we assisted the client in considering the level of contractors, contracting strategies, and tax exemptions. As well as using the Ivory Coast project as our initial reference, we also involved the De Heus team in every aspect of our scope of work to ensure a smooth and efficient decision-making process for this new feed mill in Kenya. Thanks to this flexible and collaborative approach, our IntES team provided the client with a detailed cost estimate for the feed mill, minimizing the cost but ensuring efficiency for both quantities and quality.
