Engineering, Procurement, and Construction

Engineering, Procurement, and Construction, or EPC is a prominent form of contracting agreement in our industry.

We, as the EPC contractor, will carry out the detailed engineering design of the project, procure all the equipment and materials necessary, and then construct it; delivering a functioning facility, or asset, to our Clients. This is sometimes referred to as a turnkey operation.

This type of arrangement, as we have to execute and deliver the project, which we designed, within an agreed time and budget, places the risk for meeting the agreed schedule and keeping within budget on us.

EPCM, or Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management, is similar to EPC but we are not directly involved in the construction but are responsible for administering the construction contract on our Clients' behalf.

As the EPC normally follows the basic engineering design production, which we can also deliver for our Clients, it is common for us to be offered a Project Management Consultancy, or PMC, role.

When time is of the essence in starting a Client project, we can undertake work on a direct reimbursable basis to commence quickly, followed by conversion to EPC once sufficient time and resources can be allocated to quantifying and pricing the full scope.

The most common method of doing this, an Open Book Estimate, means that we work with our Client to assess what the total scope of works for delivering the project will be, and then work together to agree the scope and price for completing the project whilst the initial work is being undertaken,

Whichever delivery modality meets our Clients’ needs, we are flexible in our approach to ensure project success: delivering on time and within budget.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure is the Nation's skeleton; the framework upon which all development must grow.

Road, rail, water, waste disposal, power are the essential elements of national development.

Our company started as a local infrastructure developer in Kano, and became a major developer of the, then new, capital city of Abuja. From there, we expanded our infrastructure projects throughout Nigeria.

We can provide design, engineering, construction, and maintenance of various civil structures, including bridges, highways and regional roads, and waterways. These are some of the essential means of promoting local, regional, and national development.

While developing individual projects, we take a holistic approach, looking at how these integrate into the larger picture, and become part of Nigeria's sustainable infrastructure networks.

These networks must not only meet today's needs but also meet the requirements of the future Nigeria.

Buildings

Buildings, meeting a variety of needs (government, healthcare, commercial, hotel, residential, social), are an essential part of our work.

We work in partnership with master planners and designers to ensure that we construct perfectly designed and engineered buildings that are fit for purpose, sustainable and environmentally friendly.

From vision to reality, from infrastructure to internal fittings and maintenance, we offer complete construction solutions for building projects. We focus on modern methods of construction offering speed, quality, reliability, flexibility, and sustainability, and utilising components selected to meet our exacting standards, yet offering outstanding value for money.

In particular, our partner designers can offer unique, eye-catching eco-buildings and towers, designed for the future and to exacting environmental standards.

We construct these buildings to the same exacting standards to ensure they comply with the requirements of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the green building certification programme that recognises best-in-class building strategies and practices.

Urban Facility Management

This concept transfers the principles of Facilities Management (FM) from the micro to the macro environment to ensure that the infrastructure and buildings our Clients construct, or inherit, continue to function, to look good, and meet their intended function. Regular, preventive maintenance helps maintain a clean, consistent appearance in your locations, while optimising functionality: creating a sustainable city. 

Utilising the latest technology, dcc can offer comprehensive, coordinated, proactive, and preventive maintenance services (as well as modification, refurbishment, and renovation capabilities) covering all, or individual, structural, infrastructural, and service components in the urban landscape, including security, testing and inspections, fire safety, and cleaning. This ensures continuous operations and preservation of high value assets.

The services of dcc cover technical, structural, and infrastructural facility maintenance, as well as modification, refurbishment, and renovation capabilities.
