Procurement
The EPIC Design/Build concept naturally allows the proper amount of time to be dedicated to understanding the specifications of a project so that the procurement process can begin before engineering services are finalized.
Scope items are ordered immediately after award of the project. In the case of long lead items, this proactive approach can eliminate weeks or months from the typical project execution schedule.
What Makes EPIC Design/Build Unique?
We maintain strong vendor relationships, but don't use approved vendors. Truly competitive bids are solicited for each new circumstance and all RFQ’s are done anonymously in order to secure the best pricing. We also match subcontractor size with project size. Large contractors tend to throw numbers at small projects unless there is a tactical reason to win the project. EPIC Design/Build is proud to strategically partner with moderately sized contractors that consider all projects key.
Our "Merit Shop" approach to staffing allows us to do projects more cost effectively than many others
