We apply hydrological and agronomic modeling, GIS-based planning, and cost-benefit analysis to optimize resource use and improve agricultural resilience to climate change. D8CL also supports value chain development, promoting inclusive growth through agribusiness facilitation, farm-to-market linkages, and community-based water resource management. Our multidisciplinary team integrates engineering, environmental science, and socio-economic expertise to deliver projects that advance food security, sustainable land use, and rural development in line with ADB’s Strategy 2030. Through innovation and collaboration, D8CL contributes to building climate-smart agricultural systems that ensure long-term productivity, food safety, and environmental sustainability.
Achieving the most value for the money is the core of every built asset strategy. Accurate cost planning and expert commercial management advice is essential to a program or project’s success. Commodity and resource costs rapidly fluctuate in local and global markets; failure to get it right can expose you to significant and unnecessary risk.
Our innovative cost consultancy approach and proprietary cost modeling tool brings local knowledge mixed with a broader perspective to keep our advice sharp, accurate and reliable. We conduct specialized functional cost analysis and apply value engineering to save money and improve the feasibility and performance of your project.
We support cost planning and commercial management advice for owners, architects, and investors across sectors, handling all details from setting budgets to finalizing payments to the contractor once the project is built.
