FEED Studies
Front End Engineering Design that turns constraints into clear, buildable solutions—fast, auditable, and aligned to cost, schedule, and safety.
From problem to proof—concepts that prioritise your constraints
We take your problem statement or well defined design constraints and develop viable concepts that respect what matters most to you: cost, lead time (manufacture and install), code compliance, safety, operability, and risk. Our FEED process moves through quality gated reviews, from high-level concept to detailed design (if required), to de-risk downstream engineering and accelerate approvals, ensuring the optimum solution is achieved through client collaboration.
What we deliver
Front End Engineering Design: concepts that prioritise cost, lead time, code compliance, and safety. Quality gated reviews from concept to detailed design.
Basis of Design (BoD)
Scope, functional requirements, duty cycles, and design envelopes.
Options & trade off matrix
Comparative scoring against cost, lead time, risk, compliance, and constructability.
Concept layouts & interfaces
Deck arrangements, load paths, utilities, access/maintenance, and tieins.
Preliminary calculations
Sizing, loadcases, structural checks, lifting/handling constraints, and envelope validation.
HSE & assurance
HAZID/HAZOP outlines, FMECA registers, and preliminary RAMS requirements.

FAQs
What does a FEED study from Subco include?
Our FEED studies define the technical scope, key design parameters, equipment specifications, preliminary layouts, and cost estimates — giving you the information you need to make an investment decision and move into detailed design with confidence.
At what stage should I engage Subco for a FEED study?
Ideally once you have a defined concept or operational need but before committing to detailed design. A FEED study de-risks the project early, identifies technical challenges, and provides a reliable cost and schedule baseline.
Can a FEED study be delivered as a fixed-price package?
Yes. We scope the FEED deliverables upfront and deliver at a fixed price, so you have cost certainty during the early project phase when budgets are often under the most scrutiny.
