EPCM - efficient implementation of complex construction projects

At Drees & Sommer, EPCM (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management) represents advanced general planning. We combine all our planning, consultancy and management services to offer comprehensive support for your project. 

The methods used by our experts are both proven and innovative, incorporating such approaches as lean management, modularization and digitalization (including BIM), to reduce complexity, minimize interfaces and simplify coordination. This allows for efficient and cost-effective implementation of your construction and real-estate projects. 

HOW CAN CONSTRUCTION AND REAL-ESTATE PROJECTS BE MADE COST-EFFECTIVE AND FUTURE-PROOF?

Many companies in the real-estate, infrastructure and industrial sectors are facing enormous challenges. In addition to issues that currently affect multiple industries, such as a shortage of skilled workers, the problems they encounter include inadequate planning and a lack of coordination, in particular, as well as difficulties in the tendering process for projects.  

It is precisely these obstacles that are addressed by EPCM, which also minimizes interfaces and maximizes transparency, to simplify coordination of complex projects:

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. 

EPCM – ONE STOP SHOP FOR FUTURE-PROOF CONSTRUCTION AND PROPERTY PROJECTS IN REAL ESTATE, INFRASTRUCTURE AND INDUSTRY

Within the framework of the EPCM model, all your planning, consultancy and management services will be provided by Drees & Sommer experts from a single source.   
The effect: There is only one single contractual partner for the customer to deal with, in addition to the construction companies. This means that the complexity, risk and internal effort involved in the project is significantly reduced for the customer. 

WITH ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, WE PROVIDE YOU WITH INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS

We bring together our expertise in a range of different disciplines and fields of activity, combined with our solid methodological skill. This includes lean design management and construction, digitalization in general and Building Information Modeling (BIM) in particular. We also use modular planning and construction approaches. This means that we can substantially simplify project organization and coordination, effectively reduce interfaces and establish optimal transparency as a basis for making solid project decisions.  

IN THE CONTEXT OF EPCM, WE RELY ON SUCH METHODS

By modularizing a building design, we can significantly reduce the complexity involved in the planning and construction process, and also increase the quality of the planning and execution. This saves on costs, time and resources, without compromising on individual expectations and the flexibility of the property concerned.  

By using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital planning, we can ensure that planning is consistent and coordinated in quality. This is a core requirement for every successful construction project. Other significant aspects of the BIM method are the transparency of the planning process, with customer involvement, and better mutual understanding within the project team. Transfer points to executing companies without data discontinuity, and early integration of such points will result in a more tightly interlocked planning and construction process and make it much leaner overall.  

The Lean approach is a fundamental way of aiming to avoid waste and establish maximum transparency and learning benefits. We think about the processes from a goal-oriented perspective, which significantly increases the speed of all workflows. We handle our projects consistently in accordance with the Lean approach. In particular, this includes overall control and integration of all the main parties involved and the entire schedule in the planning and construction process.
