How much could your EPC project save by automating engineering handover? Compare manual vs automated costs across three project sizes.
| Scenario | Manual | Pathnovo | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
Small EPC Project 1,000 P&IDs | $60,000-$100,000 4-6 weeks | $5,000-$10,000 1-2 weeks | 80-90% |
Mid-Size EPC Project 5,000 P&IDs | $200,000-$400,000 8-16 weeks | $25,000-$50,000 3-4 weeks | 85-90% |
Mega Project 15,000+ P&IDs | $500,000-$1,200,000 20-40 weeks | $75,000-$150,000 6-8 weeks | 85-90% |
Additional hidden cost of late handover:
1-2% of contract value per week
For a $500M project, that is $5-10M per week of delay
ROI is calculated by comparing manual engineering hours (engineers at $80-$150/hour, 4-8 weeks for tag register building) against Pathnovo's per-page pricing (Rs.75/page) and turnaround time (48 hours for instrument index generation). Additional savings come from avoided liquidated damages for late handover.
Beyond direct labor costs, manual handover carries hidden costs: 1-2% of contract value per week of delay in liquidated damages, rework when SAP PM data has errors, and opportunity cost of engineers doing data entry instead of engineering work.
Instrument indexes: 48 hours. Full handover package processing: 4-8 weeks for projects with 5,000-20,000 P&IDs. Rush processing available for deadline-critical milestones.
Send us 10 documents from your current project. We extract, reconcile, and show you exactly what we find in 48 hours, before any contract.
If the accuracy isn't what we promised, you owe us nothing.
