Project Company Build Risks
Detailed design, specifications by Company
Mainly by public sector but also by private sector

Risks:
Political Risk:
The possibility of dramatic over night political change in the developing countries
Technical Risk:
Construction problems, like unforeseen soil conditions
Financing Risk:
Foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate fluctuation, market risk (change in the
price of raw materials), income risk (Cash flow forecasts are overoptimistically) ,
cost overrun risk
EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement and Construction
EPC contractor design the project, procure materials & services and construct
as a total responsibility
Price is fixed except for variations or other stated conditions, if any
Turnkey completion is associated with EPC contract
The EPC contractor may hire several sub-contractors/ sub-vendors to
complete different portions of the project
Suitable for technically advanced financially strong nations-EU model
Consortium of contractors and consultants can jointly undertake EPC contact
Owner’s supervision skill require
Entails higher cost
Good understanding of EPC model by contractor
Multiple skills and broad range of experience
Strong design development capability
Clear performance specification
Well established standards for facilities
Fairly standardized design
Reliable costing with reference to verify
Facilitate less experienced employer with limited supervision capability
EPC gives the owner one point contact
Easy to monitor & coordinate
Ensure efficiency in design and construction process
Reduces project completion time
Owner is not affected by the market rise
Deliver a complete facility on the Turn of Key
Often put the reasons for delay
Contractor made specification becomes rigid
Contractor compromise quality for fixed price
Involve high risks
Generally cost higher
Design option limited with contractor
Public–Private Partnership (PPP), P3 or P3 is partnership between public
sector entity and private entity
A mode of investment dependent of Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
PPP is fundamentally a BOT mode and also with EPC mode
PPP keep employer’s involvement with private resources
Section 8 of PPP Act is a source of manipulation (If valid comparative bids
are not received, the Government Agency shall negotiate the PPP agreement
with the person who made the unsolicited proposal)
It is newest slogan with less success stories to mislead transparent
procurement
In ‘design-build’, one entity performs both design and construction under a
single contract.
It consists of a procedure to deliver a project where, in contrast to "design-
bid-build" (or "design-tender"), the design and construction aspects are
contracted by a single entity known as the design-builder or design-build
contractor
Often the ‘design-build’ contract is awarded by some process other than
competitive bidding, it differs from traditional ‘design-bid-build’ in two ways:
1. The design and construction components are packaged into a single
contract
2. The single contract is not necessarily awarded to the lowest bidder after
competitive bidding.
Benefits
It minimizes the project risks for the employer particularly for complex project
It reduces the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction
phase of a project
Drawbacks
Design-Build does not make use of competitive bidding where prospective builders
bid on the same design
Criteria to select contractor is
subjective
difficult to evaluate
The design and price selected arouses public suspicion, true or not
