EPC and EPCM models allocate engineering, procurement and construction responsibilities differently. Defining scope and interfaces is essential to coordinate decisions, packages and handover criteria.
The choice of model considers design maturity, contracting strategy and the owner's coordination capabilities. Projects do not all require the same allocation of responsibilities.
Work starts by making boundaries, deliverables and approval mechanisms explicit. Technical integration and project monitoring proceed on this agreed basis.
The scope is defined according to asset condition, project stage and available information.
This model integrates engineering, procurement and construction under the project's defined contractual conditions. Packages and interfaces are coordinated to meet delivery requirements.
The plan connects engineering deliverables, supplies and construction work fronts. The responsibility matrix identifies who provides information, who reviews it and which decisions govern progress.
Reports must explain progress, constraints and changes against the baseline. Handover is organised around the actual status of systems and documentation, keeping outstanding items and their owners visible.
Deliverables are agreed when the service is defined. The bases used, results and outstanding checks are documented so that the information can carry through to the next stage.
An initial review confirms what information is available and what needs to be completed. To prepare for that discussion, it is useful to have:
