Engineer-Procure-Construct (EPC)

Engineer-Procure-Construct (EPC)

Amizo Power Engineers Limited provide complete engineer-procure-construct (EPC) services through strategic alliances with leading engineering, materials management and construction companies, and offers all aspects of turnkey construction including project management, engineering, materials procurement, construction, right-of-way acquisition, landowner management, permitting and environmental services. Depending on project size, scope, and client preference, we act as prime contractor, subcontractor, or joint venture partner. We self-perform construction work and subcontract engineering, environmental and other ancillary services. Combining our expertise with that of our proven partners creates a best-in-class team able to provide maximum quality, safety and cost efficiency to meet our client’s goals. From the earliest planning stages through project delivery, we commit the necessary resources to achieve cost-effective and efficient results. Our EPC solutions offer clients diverse expertise and the simplicity of dealing with a single point of contact. Providing single-source capabilities offers significant opportunities to reduce job costs and improve scheduling and project management for clients. A single point of contact for all job components leads to more effective project management, which provides the ideal vehicle for continuous improvement and helps ensure that cost and schedule commitments are met. We provide comprehensive project management, construct-ability assessments and budget preparation continuously throughout the project.
Pre-Construction.
Projects that finish on-time and on-budget are the result of thorough planning, and the anticipation and quick resolution of potential issues before construction begins. Our expertise in pre-construction services is based on years of industry experience, and the skills and knowledge of our pre-construction team. Amizo Power Engineers Limited offer the following pre-construction services from the earliest project planning stages through project completion:
Conceptual Budgeting/Estimating.
With the benefit of our extensive historical database of qualified subcontractors and experienced, skilled personnel, we produce extremely accurate conceptual cost estimates early in the design process, as well as accurate cash flow forecasts.
Multiple Cost Estimates at Various Stages of Design.
Detailed cost estimates are provided at every stage of the design process. This information enables the project design team to evaluate costs and modify the design, if necessary. We anticipate pricing adjustments throughout the design process and provide clients with updated pricing, including the specific cost impact of each design modification and detailed justification.
Constructability Reviews and Value Engineering
Pre-construction and construction teams will review every phase of project design and engage in value engineering and/or analysis from project inception through final completion, and review plans and specifications in search of excessive costs and opportunities for design improvements. In the process of value engineering, we will identify the design and/or construction methodology that improves the economics of the project and make appropriate recommendations to the project team. Our input in pre-construction activities and value engineering has provided significant cost savings for clients, who realize maximum return when we are involved early in the planning and design processes. We also continue to offer cost-saving ideas throughout the life of the project.
Construction Schedule
Our pre-construction services teams initiate the preparation of the resource-loaded construction schedule, identifying and analyzing critical dates and durations of job tasks and deliveries with respect to major project milestone dates. Beginning in the pre-construction phase, we will provide updates, including projected cash flows, throughout the entire project.
Advance Purchase of Long Lead Items
We can assist project teams in identifying materials with long lead times, and purchasing strategies for these items to meet the construction schedule.
Efficient Pricing Models to Maximize Value
We can propose and utilize a variety of pricing models on projects; and work with clients to ensure an optimal pricing solution.
Project Controls & Reporting
As the electric construction industry evolves, so do the needs of our clients, who need efficient, cost effective and thorough methods of project delivery. That demands a practiced team of experts capable of managing and providing optimal solutions for every type of electrical construction project, no matter its size, scope and complexity. Amizo Power Engineers Limited have extensive experience in successful project execution, industry-leading safety performance, vast labor and equipment resources and financial stability -all reasons why clients place their trust in us time and time again. To support our client’s ultimate goals, our team-oriented approach allows us to examine all aspects of project delivery as seen through our client’s eyes and promotes understanding of the inter-relations of people and systems in the context of the overall project. Our project management approach provides a unified methodology integrating every aspect of the entire project delivery process.
