EPC projects fail at the package seam: scope unclear, subcontract terms drift, milestone certification lags billing. We tie WBS, package and contract terms into one ledger so the project P&L stays alive.
Process from tender to closeout. Perfection at WBS, package and milestone. Productivity: project P&L tracks contract life, retention recovered, snag closed.
Six packages, six BoQs, six different teams. Cross-package material movement is in nobody’s ledger. Project-level material variance is invisible.
Main-contract has 10% retention, 30-day milestone. Subcontract was signed with 5% retention, 15-day. The mismatch eats cash flow.
Work done. Joint Measurement done. RA bill submitted. Certification by client engineer takes 21 days. Billing follows.
Client engineer revises drawing. Site continues on old. Re-work is invoiced as scope creep. Dispute season opens.
Mobilisation advance recovery against running bills, retention released against DLP, bank guarantees against advance — ledger of obligations difficult to track.
Substantial completion certificate issued. Snag list runs another six months. Final bill blocks. Retention sits.
