Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Contracts

Intensive 5-day course · English, Arabic & European languages

Construction and infrastructure professionals examine the responsibilities of a single entity overseeing engineering, procurement and construction (EPC). In five days, delegates follow a project from design criteria and supplier selection through site operations to contract administration. Cases support work on risk, changes and claims, with the final sessions addressing performance assessment, handover and project closeout.

Course overview

An EPC contract places design, procurement and construction under the oversight of one entity. This arrangement provides a framework for construction and infrastructure projects, with particular advantages and challenges for owners, contractors and the other parties involved. The course examines the purpose and components of these contracts and compares lump sum, cost reimbursable and unit price arrangements.

Design is the starting point. Delegates consider criteria and specifications, consultants' responsibilities and the approval process, including how changes are handled. Procurement follows. These sessions address planning, supplier prequalification and selection, negotiation and award, together with logistics and risk mitigation, before construction management brings those decisions onto the site through scheduling, mobilisation, quality control and health, safety and environmental management.

Contract administration runs through project delivery. Delegates review responsibilities and procedures for variations, claims and disputes, before examining performance monitoring, project handover and closeout. Case studies and examples provide opportunities to apply project management concepts to practical EPC situations, including lessons learned and continuous improvement.
