EPC (Engineering General Contracting Mode) refers to the general contracting of the entire process or several stages of the design, procurement, construction, etc. of the engineering construction project by the contractor, commissioned by the owner, in accordance with the contract agreement, and responsible for the quality, safety, cost, and progress of the contracted project. Compared to traditional contracting models, the EPC general contracting model has the following three basic advantages: (1) emphasizing and fully leveraging the leading role of design in the entire engineering construction process. Emphasizing and exerting the leading role of design in the entire engineering construction process is conducive to the continuous optimization of the overall plan of engineering project construction. （2） Effectively overcoming the contradiction of mutual constraints and disconnection between design, procurement, and construction is conducive to the reasonable connection of various stages of work in design, procurement, and construction, effectively achieving the progress, cost, and quality control of construction projects in accordance with the provisions of the construction project contract, and ensuring better investment benefits. （3） The clear subject of construction project quality responsibility is conducive to investigating project quality responsibility and determining the person responsible for project quality responsibility. At present, the EPC model has been vigorously promoted and developed rapidly. In the future, the EPC model will definitely become the mainstream construction management model.
Our company and Changzhou Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. form a consortium bidding for this project. Our company is the lead party and is responsible for the procurement, construction, and warranty work of the entire project during the warranty period. Changzhou Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. is responsible for the design work of the entire project. Both parties of the consortium are fully responsible for the quality, safety, construction period, cost, and other aspects of the project. Finally, they submit a project that meets the contract agreement, meets the usage functions, meets the usage conditions, and passes the completion acceptance to Jinling Investment Group Co., Ltd.
The bidding time is tight and the task is heavy. The leaders of the group company attach great importance to it. They carefully arrange the bidding work for the project, clarify the division of labor and responsibilities, and put forward specific requirements for bidding documents, technical quality, etc. Before bidding, we gathered a large number of road and bridge experts and technical personnel to conduct in-depth discussions and on-site inspections based on the requirements of the design drawings and construction characteristics. We carefully analyzed the key and difficult construction areas during the construction process of this project, and proposed practical and feasible construction plans, methods, and related measures. With the strong support of the Chief Engineer Office of the group company and various branches, we stand out in this technical bid.
Since winning the bid for the "Design, Procurement, and Construction General Contracting (EPC Integration) of the Surrounding Supporting Parts of the Education Facilities and Supporting Project (Phase I) of the Baiyun Campus of Changzhou University", subsequent work has been carried out without stopping.

On the other hand, the group company has also mobilized capable forces to form and implement a construction team. All the participating personnel of the branch company quickly entered their roles, carefully organized and deployed, and carried out preparatory work in the early stage of construction, strictly following the requirements of standardized projects. At the same time, the branch actively contacts and coordinates with the owner, design, supervision, and local functional departments. The preparation of the measurement team, the construction of the material preparation yard, the construction of temporary facilities, various pre job training, and the selection of subcontracting teams are all being carried out in an orderly manner, laying a solid foundation for the comprehensive construction of the project.
After the completion of the EPC project in the Baiyun Campus of Changzhou University, it will enhance and improve the surrounding environment of the campus, create a vibrant and vibrant campus atmosphere for higher education institutions, and attract more outstanding graduates from various regions.
