Question 1

What is EPC engineering?

Accepted Answer

EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement and Construction. It is a contract model where a single company assumes full responsibility for a project: from basic and detailed engineering, through material and equipment procurement, to construction, assembly and commissioning. Authomathika has been delivering EPC contracts since 1999.

Question 2

What is the advantage of hiring an EPC project?

Accepted Answer

The EPC model provides a single point of responsibility, which simplifies management, reduces interface risks between suppliers, ensures an integrated schedule and greater cost predictability. For the client, it means having a single point of contact for the entire project, from engineering to operational delivery.

Question 3

What is the difference between EPC and EPCM?

Accepted Answer

In EPC, the contractor assumes full responsibility for execution, including costs and deadlines (typically fixed price). In EPCM (Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management), the contractor manages the project but does not directly execute the construction, acting as a manager. Authomathika offers both models, with strategic partnerships for execution when necessary.
