2. Introduction
EPC contract the contractor designs the installation, procures the
necessary materials and builds the project, either directly or by
subcontracting part of the work. In some cases, the contractor
carries the project risk for schedule as well as budget in return for a
fixed price, called lump sum or LSTK depending on the agreed
scope of work.[1] When the scope is restricted to engineering and
procurement, this is referred to as an EP, E and P or E+P contract. This
is often done in situations where the construction risk is too great for
the contractor or when the owner does the construction
