EPCM - efficient implementation of complex construction projects
At Drees & Sommer, EPCM extends general planning. We unite planning, consulting, and management services to provide holistic support for your projects.
Our experts use proven methods such as lean management, modularization, and digitalization. These processes, including BIM, reduce complexity, minimize interfaces, and simplify coordination. Our approach enables efficient and economical implementation of your construction and real estate projects.

ECONOMIC AND FUTURE-READY
Real estate, infrastructure, and industry often face skilled labor shortages, poor coordination, and flawed tendering processes.
EPCM minimizes interfaces, boosts transparency, and simplifies project coordination:
Our EPCM experts deal with the specific requirements of the real-estate segment: We understand that real estate is right at the core of your business model, so that you place particular importance on cost commitments, effective schedules and compliance with qualities as agreed. Using EPCM, we deliver customized solutions from a single source.
The development of infrastructure projects calls for precise coordination between all parties involved, as well as an extensive and detailed understanding of rising construction costs, regulatory pressure, technological advances and sustainability standards. Using our EPCM approach, we are continually aware of these specific challenges, which we keep in mind to ensure that your project will be economically efficient and future-proof.
Within the industrial sector, the attention of our EPCM experts is focused on the specific needs of production and processing facilities: efficiency, technological innovation and integration of the latest safety standards. These factors are their top priorities. Our EPCM service package provides a way to ensure that you meet your budget and scheduling targets and comply with the agreed quality criteria. This is how you can future-proof your operations.
A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR CONSTRUCTION, REAL ESTATE, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND INDUSTRY
Our experts provide comprehensive planning, consulting, and management from a single source. Clients work with one contractual partner beyond the construction firms. This dynamic significantly reduces complexity, risk, and internal project costs.
WE DELIVER SOLUTIONS BASED ON YOUR NEEDS
With EPCM, we create holistic solutions uniquely built around your requirements. Our approach includes Lean Design Management and Construction, modular designs, and Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Our planning and construction approach is modular. We simplify project coordination, effectively reducing interfaces and creating transparency, allowing you to make informed decisions.
METHODS IN THE EPCM FRAMEWORK
By modularizing building design, we significantly reduce its complexity and increase the quality of planning and implementation. This method saves costs, time, and resources without compromising individual ideas or the property’s flexibility.
With Building Information Modeling (BIM), we ensure consistent and coordinated planning quality, a basic prerequisite for any successful project. Another key aspect of BIM is planning transparency, which involves the client and increases mutual understanding within the project team. Ensuring seamless data handovers to contractors and involving them early on makes planning and construction smooth and simpler.
Lean is our mindset. Our fundamental approach avoids waste while maximizing transparency and learning. We keep our eye on the goal and accelerate processes accordingly. For this, we consider everyone involved and integrate them early in the process.
