Choose the best project delivery model for your project – Together with us

Selecting the project delivery model is one of the most important decisions in any construction project. It has a decisive impact on the project schedule, costs, risks, and the quality of the final outcome. Therefore, the delivery model should always be chosen based on the project’s objectives, scope, complexity, and the client’s preferences.

Sweco’s role is to help you select and implement the model that best supports your project – cost-effectively, transparently, and with high quality.

Project delivery models – Backed by Sweco’s expertise

We are not tied to a single delivery model. Instead, we select the solution that best fits our client’s objectives. We have extensive experience with various delivery models – including EPCM, IPD, PJP, traditional construction management, project management contracting (PJU), and project-specific hybrid models.

We can implement your project in the most suitable way for you – whether it involves a new investment, renovation, or a large-scale development project.

EPCM – Comprehensive Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management

EPCM (Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management) is a flexible and comprehensive model in which Sweco is responsible for:

1. engineering and design
2. procurement
3. coordination
4. supervision
5. overall project management

EPCM is particularly well suited for industrial, energy, and environmental investment projects, large modernization initiatives, maintenance projects, and projects requiring tight coordination and multidisciplinary expertise.

PJP – Project management services

PJP is an agile, cost-efficient, and transparent delivery model in which the client retains strong decision-making authority. Sweco manages the overall coordination of design, procurement, and construction.

PJP is an excellent choice when:

1. the schedule is tight
2. the project is large or complex
3. there is limited contractor competition
4. construction needs to start quickly (e.g. in parallel with permitting)
5. the client wants close guidance to ensure project objectives are met

Traditional construction management (PMO)

When needed, we act as the client’s expert partner in a traditional construction management model:

1. managing the design process
2. tendering contracts
3. supervising construction
4. leading the project on behalf of the client

IPD – Integrated project delivery

In the IPD model, a shared project organization is formed in which:

1. goals are genuinely aligned
2. information and risks are shared openly
3. decision-making is transparent
4. collaboration is close throughout the project

This model is particularly suitable for projects where expertise, risks, and benefits are to be shared fairly among all parties.

Client representative / Construction consultant

A construction consultant ensures that the project is delivered in line with the client’s objectives, user needs, and the agreed schedule and budget. Sweco’s consultants act as the client’s representative and a trusted partner, guiding the project systematically and proactively throughout its entire lifecycle.

The service covers all project phases, from early planning to construction, supervision, handover, and commissioning. The flexible service model adapts to the project size and the client’s resources and is supported by Sweco’s multidisciplinary expert organization.

The delivery model itself is not an end value – the most important thing is to select a solution that supports project objectives, minimizes risks, and optimizes cost, quality, and schedule.

Sweco’s experienced experts help you to:

1. compare delivery and contracting models
2. identify project requirements
