My view of the Client’s perspective of capital project implementation changed during my career
When I worked for an EPCM Contractor, I thought that design was key to the success of the project. Get it right and the project will deliver.
I moved to a site and realised that from a Client’s perspective the “shop window” of an EPCM contractor’s competence was the construction progress and site safety.
This was especially true when Clients got involved with safety audits and near miss reporting
Also when nearing construction completion, the Client is lining up his commissioning team. These extra resources then see delays occuring due to deficiencies in design and procurement.
