-The production of pre-tender cost estimates for electricity transmission projects, with a high focus being applied to transmission via extra high voltage cables

-The production of cost and scheduling models with the use of expert judgement and historic data

-The development of cost estimation models to reduce the resource time required for estimation.

-The identification of the independent variables to which cost is highly sensitive is central to this

-The use of EclipseCS estimating software

-The use of Palisade @Risk to allow for probabilistic estimating models
