Engineering Procurement Construction Management for Industry
Planning, construction management and project management from a single source: EPCM offers an intelligent and efficient combination of service packages.
Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) allows Drees & Sommer experts to bundle all planning, consulting and management services into a single package. Our teams apply innovative methods such as Lean Management, modularization and digitization (including BIM). The aim is to reduce the complexity of projects, minimize the number of interfaces and ensure efficient coordination – to realize construction and facility projects both economically and sustainably.
CAN YOU BENEFIT FROM EPCM?
- Are you facing a complex construction and plant project with very tight deadlines?
- Have you only limited resources to cope with great management and coordination effort?
- Do you need to restructure a facility while it remains fully operational?
- Is ensuring the quality of build a key aspect of your project?
- Would you like to reduce the number of interfaces and areas of responsibility for liability reasons?
- Do you want to achieve a high level of cost and schedule certainty as early as possible in the project?
HOW WE APPROACH EPCM PROJECTS
Drees & Sommer specialists ensure goal-oriented leadership of the entire EPCM project team and transparency throughout all phases of planning and realization. Independent and neutral planning and advice give the client maximum flexibility in their decision-making. This starts with the specification of planning content and processes and extends through to the award of contracts for execution.
Using our integrated approach, we design factories from the inside out. Close dovetailing and highly precise coordination between production and industrial construction planning result in an optimally balanced factory that sets new standards in areas such as flexibility, digitization, efficiency and sustainability.
The integrated Construction Management element means that the EPCM contractor monitors and controls the execution and is responsible for commissioning, including qualification.
