EPC decoration project at all stages of the work content and management points, recommended collection!
In China’s current construction industry, the competition is increasingly fierce, for contractors, EPC contracting model advantages are obvious, can meet the construction requirements under the premise of effective cost control and quality assurance, therefore, the overall trend of the development of the construction industry is also a necessary factor for the application of the model.

What does an EPC project mean?
What’s new compared to traditional projects?
EPC is the international general contracting of the project short, refers to the company commissioned by the owner, following the contract for the construction of the project design, procurement, construction, trial operation of the implementation of the whole process or several stages of contracting.
In the EPC model, the project content includes not only the construction, installation, testing, trial operation, and other work of the traditional project, but also the overall planning of the whole construction project content and the whole process of planning work, all kinds of professional equipment and materials procurement work.

The EPC project is on the management content
What’s the difference from a traditional project?
First of all, the management mode of the EPC project is the integrated management of design, procurement, and construction, which needs to cross deeply between the three. Secondly, the project management process extends from a single construction phase up and down to the whole life cycle management; Finally, the needs of the core competence of general contracting management should be the integration of the various elements that constitute the project management function of the enterprise, including organizational structure setting, resource guarantee, appraisal and evaluation, personnel training, etc.

Will EPC projects take greater risks?
How should we carry out the whole process of design risk prevention and control?
Due to the extension of EPC project management content, the general contractor as the first responsible person for the EPC project, the project risk mainly focuses on the design risk, including design compliance, design rationality, design duration, project definition documents, design management, and other risks.
In the overall implementation of the EPC project, we should carry out a full-disciplinary, full-process design risk prevention and control, specific measures should include the following four points:
Design risk identification is the project to judge, classify and determine the nature of risk engineering, is the most basic link of risk management, the process of identifying risk includes all possible sources of risk and results of careful, scientific identification and adequate demonstration.
By deepening the contract terms, identifying the owner’s needs, clear definition documents, and other measures, to provide adequate boundary conditions and effective design basis for the design, to avoid leading to such issues as delivery interface disputes.
Through limit design management, compare similar project indicators, do a good job of design and business, procurement, construction, and other deep integration optimize investment, building functions, construction, and sourcability, effectively avoid design waste, reduce costs, and control risks.
Design management, through combing the construction process, establishes communication mechanism, refine the design duration, strictly control design changes, strengthen design assessment and other measures, effective prevention, and control design risks.

As the general contractor for the EPC project
What areas of EPC project management need to focus on?
The first is to understand the profound connotation of EPC management. The real EPC management is a new management model, which promotes EPC management, and it is a profound management change, which must involve profound changes from the organizational system, management system, performance system to resource system. Therefore, a deep understanding of the meaning of EPC management is a prerequisite to promoting EPC management landing.
The second is that the two-tier mechanism of EPC management must be handled well. At the enterprise level, it is necessary to establish the linkage mechanism between the traditional civil engineering plate and the general contracting business to maximize the enthusiasm of all levels of the enterprise, while at the project level, it is necessary to systematize the interface of the total cladding and civil construction layer of the project and to standardize, standardize and informative a series of behaviors through standard control actions.
The third is the need to build the core competencies of EPC management. EPC management puts forward new requirements for the core competence of the enterprise, some of the originally unavailable capabilities (such as design management capabilities) need to be hatched from scratch, and some of the resource quality-raising capabilities (such as recruitment management capabilities) that originally had but have undergone fundamental changes in connotations need to be quickly familiarized and cultivated Some already have strong foundational capabilities ( such as project planning capabilities ) that need to be continuously improved. Strengthening the core competencies of EPC management is key to driving EPC management.

What is the most important thing to do with an EPC project?
How do I do an EPC project?
To do an EPC project well, the most important thing is to fully understand the EPC project, in-depth understanding of the management objects, management content, management mechanisms, and other systemic changes generated by this model, to take more appropriate measures and methods.
Contractors should fully understand and understand the design and related work, the overall risk resolution work of the project should not rely too much on the design unit and professional subcontracting while ignoring its control.
In the management process of the EPC project, we should break down the barriers of management consciousness of all parties, the design party should not only pay attention to the completion of their design work, but also at the same time to the overall measurement of the project gain and loss, to avoid the imbalance of responsibility, and the construction party should focus on cultivating global thinking, planning and design work as the focus of the project planning, to avoid a bias and cause a convergence With the cost and project performance out of control.

After the completion of the EPC project, the project is summarized
Improve the overall level of project management
The post-completion acceptance and post-project management evaluation of the project are mainly aimed at the evaluation of the project process, while the post-project benefit evaluation is mainly corresponding to the pre-project planning. Through the comprehensive and systematic analysis and research on the project objectives, implementation process, benefits, effects, and impact, the lessons learned in both positive and negative aspects are summarized, so that the decision-makers, managers, and builders of the project can learn more scientific and rational methods and strategies, improve the level of decision-making, management, and construction, and improve the management services of the project in the future.
It can be seen that post-project evaluation is a necessary and effective means to improve the overall level of project decision-making and project management.
