On how to do a good job in training management of general contracting projects
The English meaning of EPC is: the abbreviation of Engineer, Procure and Construct. In Chinese, EPC project means to be responsible for the "design, procurement and construction" of a project, which is similar to the meaning of general contracting. EPC project is a general contracting enterprise that undertakes the design, procurement, construction and commissioning services of the project according to the contract, and is fully responsible for the quality, safety, construction period and cost of the contracted project. Design here refers to the mechanism and process design of machines, equipment, devices and systems according to the scientific and engineering principles of manufacturing and processing. It is not a beautification design of the space and function of the building. Generally speaking, EPC project is equivalent to a fully outsourced project. How to do well in EPC project management? Know what EPC project development is and how to do well in EPC project management? Procurement management of EPC project is a series of management activities to achieve project objectives under limited resources. Generally, EPC construction mode should be considered from the owner's point of view, which can be started from these three aspects: (1) the owner's purpose and professional ability. If it is not professional, EPC mode is a feasible mode; (Advantages and disadvantages of EPC and traditional DBB mode; (3) Cost and control of the project. This is a strategic consideration, but also needs to consider tactical issues. In addition, these problems are encountered in the construction design of EPC project: (1) 1. Selection of Design Units When choosing a design unit for an EPC project, it is generally considered comprehensively according to the actual situation of the project location and the implementation plan determined by the previous market research, and a suitable design partner is selected. (2) The best way to integrate with local codes should be to unite with local design institutes in China, and solve the differences and disagreements in the initial stage of design through consultation, instead of completing the design in a design institute in China and modifying it after the local design institutes find problems. (3) Integration with the implementation plan determined in the investigation stage Since the implementation plan is generally determined first and then the construction design is carried out according to the local market, it is necessary to consider how to approach the determined implementation method and construction plan in the design, so as to provide convenience for the construction as much as possible while meeting the functional requirements. (4) Confirmation of materials and equipment in design The construction design of EPC project shall be recognized and confirmed by the owner or the unit authorized by the owner. It should be noted that material procurement is one of the important steps in the implementation of EPC project, which directly affects the implementation and cost of the project. The key procedures of EPC project material procurement include: the formulation of procurement plan, the determination of quality standards of materials and equipment, the selection of suppliers and the arrival of materials and equipment. In addition to the necessary human resources, the implementation of project procurement must also have corresponding material resources such as equipment, facilities, raw materials, spare parts and services. In terms of material procurement, there are two differences between EPC project and construction general contracting project: first, there is no supply from Party A. In construction general contracting, Party A is responsible for part of the procurement, while in EPC project, the contractor is responsible, so this aspect of procurement and installation needs to be considered in advance. On the other hand, the determination and design of quality standards are interactive. Compared with general contracting projects, there is more room for selection of materials and equipment.
