EPC refers to the whole process or several stages of the design, procurement, construction and trial operation of a construction project entrusted by the owner. This contracting process is called EPC project. In EPC projects, according to the total price or adjustable total price stipulated in the contract, the engineering company is responsible for managing and controlling the progress, cost, quality and safety of the project and completing the project according to the contract.

What does 1.EPC project mean?

General contracting project refers to the whole process or several stages of design, procurement, construction and trial operation of engineering construction projects entrusted by the employer according to the contract. Under EPC mode, the project includes not only the specific design work, but also the overall planning of the whole construction project and the planning and specific work of the implementation organization and management of the whole construction project.

Under EPC mode, the control of the employer (owner) over the general contractor should not be too strict, but should give the general contractor greater freedom in the construction of construction projects. For example, the owner should not review most construction drawings, nor should he check every construction process. What the owner needs to do is to know the progress of the project, whether the project quality meets the contract requirements, and whether the construction results can finally meet the functional standards of the construction project stipulated in the contract.

For the owner, entrusting the design, procurement, construction and start-up services of the project to the general contractor is responsible for organizing the implementation, and he only needs to be responsible for the overall, principled and targeted control, which is more worry-free and labor-saving, and the general contractor also has more room to play, reducing the workload of coordination.

Second, the scope of application of project general contracting

EPC general contracting mode can be adopted for the following projects with clear requirements on construction scope, construction scale, construction standards and functions:

(1) Use the self-owned funds (financing and loans) of state-owned enterprises and institutions to complete large and medium-sized projects;

(2) financial capital construction projects (such as new construction, renovation and expansion of schools, affordable housing and other housing projects, municipal roads, municipal supporting facilities, etc.). );

(3) professional engineering projects with special requirements for the construction period (such as greening and lighting);

(4) BIM technology or assembled construction method is adopted in the construction project.

For projects with high personalized requirements, complicated situations and great changes in construction requirements and standards (such as underground projects, memorial buildings, stadiums and gymnasiums, etc.). ), it is not appropriate to adopt the general contracting method.
