SabreTech can be contracted to provide engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services. Other companies could have been contracted by the Owner directly to provide construction services and they can be managed by SabreTech on the Owner's behalf. SabreTech has a history of working with our clients to achieve their goals in the most efficient way. Sometimes our clients select special working relationships which we are happy to implement depending on the risks and legal issues involved.
EPC contracting tends to be more expensive, to the Owner, due to the shift of project risk away from the Owner and to the EPC Contractor. On average, a project’s cost 10% - 20% more using EPC style of contracting than a project using the EPCM style of contracting. This is due in large part to the project’s risk being more evenly distributed between the Owner and contracts / suppliers.
Construction contracting trends have been leaning towards the EPCM style of contracting and away from EPC contracting for several reasons
but both methods have their place in business today.
