Consulting for the investment decision, before the engineering is contracted

ProHolz assesses what already exists, compares technologies and plans the investment with prices and quantities calibrated against recent projects.

When it makes sense

Before contracting the engineering, the investor needs numbers and comparisons

A new plant, an expansion or the modernization of a line calls for decisions before the engineering is contracted: which scenario, which technology, what investment and what return. ProHolz consulting helps the investor make these decisions on the basis of technical analysis.

The work draws on an in-house database of unit prices and quantities, calibrated against recent ProHolz projects, and on direct technical dialogue with the leading manufacturers of equipment for panels and wood processing.

ProHolz recommends; the investment decision, procurement and construction stay with the client.
