Cost Engineering

Benefits

Proven. Data-driven. Rapid. Model-Based Cost Engineering.

Develop defensible, fact-based cost estimates. Unison Cost Engineering provides the framework, models, and data required for accurate, on-time estimates.

Gears Icon for Process

Streamline the process from data to basis-of-estimate using an integrated suite of applications.

URL Icon for Linking

Minimize uncertainty by dynamically linking your technical solution to cost, schedule, and uncertainty estimates.

Arrow Icon for Review Best Practices

Automatically generate hundreds of critical development, production, and O&S decision support metrics such as T1 cost, unit production cost, and cost/flight hour.

Icon of Speedometer

Build complex estimates in weeks, not months, and make changes in requirements in minutes, not days, with a highly optimized mathematical modeling application designed for performance.

Graph Icon for Sharing Data

Create linkage between relevant historical data and predictive models to improve estimation accuracy.

Clipboard Icon for Organization

Report and retain data and history from each estimate, including SME notes, cost estimating relationships, historical data points, sensitivity, and hours by activity and resource over time.

Clients

Who uses Cost Engineering

Government contractors, commercial organizations, and federal governments use Unison’s research-driven technology to estimate cost, schedule, and uncertainty.

A&D Government Contractors

Harness model-based cost engineering, predictive analytics, and process integration to speed up timelines, learn from your historic data to inform future projects and defend your project Lifecycle estimates.

Commercial Organizations

Leverage your historical data and expertise for enterprise-wide process integration, quickly and accurately. Our solutions can be implemented from the top down to standardize the way your various departments and locations generate and talk about estimates—spanning Target Costing to IT Services Budgeting.

Federal Government

Benefit from the extensive research and libraries of data-driven models that estimate the resource requirements, cost, and schedule for government programs. Combine predictive analytics with activity-based costing, to provide analysts and decision makers visibility into the true drivers of cost, schedule, uncertainty, and risk. Harness our research or incorporate your own historical data through calibration to reflect your agency's and contractors’ historical performance.
