FAQ's
What is the difference between EPC and EPCM?
EPC means Engineering, Procurement and Construction. Under a typical EPC arrangement, one EPC contractor accepts broad responsibility for integrating the design, procurement, construction, testing and handover of the facility. EPCM means Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management. Under a typical EPCM arrangement, the EPCM consultant provides engineering, procurement support and construction-management services, while the Owner usually contracts directly with works contractors and equipment vendors. The precise allocation always depends on the executed contracts.
