Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management (EPCM)

Drees & Sommer Life Sciences experts use EPCM to bring together all planning, consulting and management services. At the same time, they use modern lean methods for the planning of building and plant projects. This systematically reduces interfaces, simplifies coordination of the entire project, and helps achieve optimal coordination and structure, even in the case of super fast track projects.

You have to address the following points:

  • Selection of your EPCM partner
  • Competence and experience in the assessment of key personnel
  • Holistic planning of interfaces

How important is EPCM to you?

  • Are you planning a complex building and plant project with a tight schedule?
  • Are you facing a high level of management and coordination effort with only limited resources?
  • Do you have to restructure a facility while it is in full operation?
  • Is it particularly important to ensure the execution quality of the project?
  • Do you want to reduce interfaces and responsibilities for liability reasons.
  • Do you want cost and schedule certainty at the earliest possible point in the project?

How we approach EPCM

Drees & Sommer specialists undertake goal-oriented management of the entire EPCM project team and create transparency in all planning and realization phases of the project. Independent and neutral planning and consulting mean that the principal has maximum flexibility with regard to decisions. This extends from defining the planning scope and processes to the award of contracts. The EPCM contract partner uses Integrated Construction Management to monitor and control execution, and is responsible for commissioning, including qualification.
