General questions about EPCM and our services

The fundamental difference between the EPCM, EPC, and Design & Build (D&B) models lies primarily in the degree of responsibility borne by the contractor and who retains contractual ownership of the project.

• EPCM stands for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management. In this model, you as the client remain more involved by acting as the contractual owner when purchasing materials/equipment and contracting services from suppliers and contractors. The EPCM contractor functions as a project manager, overseeing the design, procurement, and construction on your behalf. This provides flexibility and greater cost transparency, making it ideal for complex industrial projects that require significant customization. 
• EPC means Engineering, Procurement, and Construction. In this setup, a single party assumes full (turnkey) responsibility for the design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the facility. The end goal is the delivery of a fully operational system. The EPC contractor typically provides extensive performance guarantees regarding the functionality and capacity of the completed project. 
• Design & Build (D&B) is a model in which the contractor is responsible for both the design and the construction. Although it resembles EPC, D&B is often applied to buildings and is generally less focused on commissioning and the extensive performance guarantees that are typical of an industrial EPC contract. In other words, D&B entails a less extensive level of responsibility than EPC.
