One of them is EPC type of procurement. EPC is the abbreviation for engineering, procurement and construction. EPC is a type of construction contract where the contractor is responsible for engineering services, procurement of materials, and construction. Power plants, factories, gas development project, infrastructure projects, and industrial plant construction sectors are the typical examples of EPC projects.

The findings of this research are (1) there are 34 (thirty four) EPC projects’ characteristics, in which 10 (ten) of them are specifically only found in EPC projects; (2) EPC projects in Waskita are quite different in their implementation, where for some projects, EPC Division serves only engineering and procurement phases; and (3) the improvement strategies can be divided into 3 (three) groups, namely: for contractor with 15 strategies, for employer with 5 strategies, and for both parties with 6 strategies. At the end, this research is important for all players to face the increase popularity of EPC project procurement. 2012-08 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/33745/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/33745/5/SengHansenMFAB2012.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Built Environment Faculty of Built Environment
