Course Overview

The current worldwide Covid 19 pandemic has brought into sharp focus the need for project teams to be vigilant and pro-active in their approach to risk. A large part of the focus has to be the selection of the correct contract with which to carry out the project and to ensure that it is primarily used as a Risk Management tool as part of the wider toolkit of Risk Management techniques. 

EPCM (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management) Contracts are becoming more popular with client organisations who wish to have a professional manager working on their behalf and standing between them and the contractors carrying out the actual work.

The course focus is essentially practical in nature based on the extensive experience of the trainer and utilising the delegates’ own experience and knowledge.

A Trainer's View

ʺ Client organisations have certain key objectives in arranging major projects. They require certainty of outcome in terms of deliverables, cost, quality and timeʺ. Sometimes these organisations feel that they lack the necessary skills and experience to closely manage a complex project and feel happier if they can place the design, procurement and management functions with a specialist organisation with the necessary experience.

 

The choice of such an organisation is a major task. A wrong move here can result in disaster for a project. History is full of examples of projects finishing way over budget, many months (sometimes years) late and at the end not providing the desired outcome. In an EPCM format the relationship between client and EPCM contractor is crucial and this course looks at the situation from all angles so that opposing viewpoints can be seen and understoodʺ
