EPC (engineering procurement? Construction) means that the contractor is entrusted by the owner to design, purchase and construct according to the contract. Carry out the whole process or several stages of general contracting for engineering construction projects. And be responsible for the quality, safety, cost and progress of the contracted project.
Under EPC mode, the project includes not only the specific design work, but also the overall planning of the whole construction project content and the planning and specific work of the implementation organization and management of the whole construction project; Procurement is not the procurement of building equipment and materials in the general sense, it needs to further include the procurement of professional equipment and materials; Construction should be translated as "construction", including construction, installation, testing and technical training.
Brief introduction to the advantages of general contracting project
1, the construction quality has been improved.
Compared with other units, the General Professional Design Institute has a more comprehensive analysis and arrangement of the basic data in the early stage of the project, and has a fuller understanding of the project, thus providing a strong guarantee for the construction quality of the project. The construction quality of the project depends on the design quality to a great extent, which is especially obvious in large-scale projects with technology as the core. Professional design institutes can consider equipment selection and procurement, construction technology level as a whole, and systematically optimize the design scheme, which can effectively improve the design quality of the project.
2. Shorten the construction period of the project
The construction period of an engineering project generally includes: preliminary stage, design stage, equipment procurement stage, construction stage and trial operation stage. Design consulting service runs through the whole process of project construction. Professional design institutes can consider equipment selection and procurement at the design stage to shorten the procurement cycle of equipment.
