Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC)

As a project owner, if you could harness all the benefits of design-build and receive certain guarantees about the process and performance of your new infrastructure, would you do it? Enter engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC)—a turnkey model that’s gaining momentum as a preferred project delivery method.

Manufacturers can’t afford to have facilities inoperable for long or to experience delays in expansion. With an integrated team, we pull our design, procurement, and construction experts together from the start to work collaboratively. This keeps the project on schedule and at cost. We give you the confidence to make plans for your company’s success, knowing we will deliver excellence as promised.

Fast Facts: EPC Delivery

The term EPC is often used interchangeably, albeit incorrectly, with design-build. The two share similarities, including:

  • Single-source responsibility.
  • Fixed-price contracts.
  • Limited risks.

However, EPC offers an extension of services that distinguishes it from other delivery methods. EPC is also highly applicable to distinct project types, such as complex industrial and manufacturing facilities.

EPC Delivery Highlights

  • Since EPC integrates design and construction, teams experience a high level of integration throughout the project. Additionally, field activities can commence much earlier than with other delivery methods, offering owners cost savings and accelerated project schedules.

  • Projects can be delivered in any cost format: lump sum, guaranteed maximum price, or time and materials.

  • In addition to designing and building the facility, EPC delivery calls for the contractor to guarantee its performance in terms of quantity and quality of the product.

  • The EPC contractor procures all equipment, construction materials, and subcontractor services to facilitate turnkey delivery.
