EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement, Construction and is a prominent form of contracting agreement in the construction industry. The engineering and construction contractor will carry out the detailed engineering design of the project, procure all the equipment and materials necessary, and then construct to deliver a functioning facility or asset to their clients. Companies that deliver EPC Projects are commonly referred to as EPC Contractors.

An “Engineering, Procurement and Construction” or short EPC-Project is a particular form of contracting arrangement used in some industries where the EPC-Contractor is made responsible for all activities from design, procurement, construction, to commissioning and handover of the deliverables to the Owner or Operator (O/O). Similar concepts are “Turnkey”, “Lump Sum Turnkey (LSTK)” or “Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM)”.

Projects, large and small, have numerous complexities that require specialised support to assure a successful outcome. The overarching competency is a provider’s ability to provide engineering, procurement and management, depending on client needs. This competency requires disciplines, support staff, technologies and systems to ensure the project is tracked from beginning to end in a manner that is cost effective, safe and on-schedule.
