Typical conflicts during the implementation of the EPC-and EPCM-projects
The paper describes the most common disputes and conflicts in the implementation of the EPC- and EPCM-projects and provides guidance how to avoid or reduce their negative effects. The author examines the disputes that are associated with the scope of work, design, language of documentation, selecting and involving subcontractors, customs clearance and logistics, using protective equipment. The experience of the author's work with major construction projects shows that much of the disputes and conflicts between the customer and the contractor are typical for most projects, regardless of the industry in which they are implemented.
