Abstract
Capital costs are one-time expenses that typically occur at the beginning of a project. They pay for equipment, buildings, construction, and engineering, among other things. This chapter opens by clarifying the (sometimes confusing) terminology related to capital cost estimates and then goes on to describe how fixed capital can be estimated by applying heuristic factors to the total installed equipment cost.
