Whether your project is a greenfield project or a modification to an existing facility, look to Ampirical for a faster schedule, a cost-controlled project, and mitigation of the difficulties that come from a traditional approach through a sound project execution plan and practiced functional excellence.
Ampirical has worked with a lot of utilities, general design/build firms and electrical equipment manufacturers in the U.S. and are accustomed to working within individual specifications, standards and practices. Ampirical believes the benefits of providing an EPC/Design-Build/Turnkey solution are:
One Company Point of Contact
Provides better coordination, communication and an overall smoother process
Saves time – not as many layers of approval
Promotes familiarity among project team; team members are not changing from job to job
Management of Project
Reduces the number of management personnel at the various subcontractors
Reduces owner staffing
Risk Management
Eliminates finger pointing and delay when issues arise, especially when they require quick resolution
Minimizes problems between design and procurement related to schedules, since both parties are on board from the earliest stages
Mitigates "blame game” and attempts at risk shifting
Financial Benefits
Reduces cost by eliminating double markup, first for construction subcontractor, and then for general contractor
Capitalizes on structure of joint venture because both engineering and construction are incentivized via their ownership stakes to perform on the project
Project owner's costs are minimized because they are not required to serve as intermediary between the engineer and the contractor
Product Quality
Maximizes consistency and quality throughout, since one company oversees QA/QC
Project Timing
Improves schedule and costs by eliminating construction bid/review/award phase of job
Lessens changes in scope, both major and minor, by reducing the burden on the project owner because there is a single point of contact
