RE: How much does it cost to build a DMG21 Feb 2025 10:46
Hello Pie.
A question I've pondered over many a time, don't think that number has ever been officially shared anywhere? so it's all guess work.
Might be someone on the forum who has a bit of insight in to procurement / capex projects in the engineering sector who should be able to confidently come up with a pretty close number.
In the grand scheme of things the kiln itself is not ground breaking technology, consisting of thousands of parts nor made from a rare material with costs to match.
The other parts which we have been shown in pictures released, look very much like anything I've ever seen anywhere else so again I'd think costs would be "normal".
Can/could phe build their own if required? Would it always be the preferred option to order elsewhere based on costs (wages obviously factor)
With all the above I'm guessing £1m should cover things, with costs to add from transport, install, building works etc.
Would be a great bit of info for phe to release, however I'm not sure it's in their interest to make that publicly known, and could well be something that's shared with potential customers only.
