Owner’s engineering and project management as a service

Energy sector investment projects like photovoltaic, wind and combined heat and power plants, thermal power plants, heat only boiler houses, oil production units, refineries or alike are usually executed by two different methods:

  • EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) – general contracting method, where one general contractor is responsible for turn-key delivery;
  • EPCM (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management) – project management method, where professional project management consultant leads the project on behalf of the client.

With EPC method, the client or project developer concludes turnkey contract in order to have ready-to-run plant. The client can  minimize the risks and control the process by applying experienced owner’s engineer for supervise various disciplines to ensure that the result is in conformity with the contract terms. At the same time the client has to take into account that the risks taken by the general contractor are reflected in the cost of the project.

With EPCM method, the client hires project management consultant which helps him upon the conclusion with various contracts (for example, in case of combined heat and power plant approximately 50 different contract packages), coordination between works at site, construction supervision disciplines and management of the whole project. Difference from EPC is that all risks related to the project are borne by the client itself, which lowers the cost of the project ca 10 to 15 % compared to EPC model.

Nomine Consult is experienced with both methods.

Assistance with procurement

We create assumptions in a way that procurements organized by us receive comparable, appropriate and advantageous tenders. This usually consists several parts, ordered all together or separately:

  • procurement planning consultancy;
  • finding possible tenderers;
  • preparing tender documents (including for public procurements);
  • comparing received tenders, supporting in communication and helping to determine the best tender;
