🚨 Missing the Bigger Picture — The Impact of Narrow Focus in EPC Projects

 We all know EPC projects come with big Capex and even higher stakes — no room for error.


But here’s the thing:

We get so caught up in the weeds — perfecting drawings, chasing internal approvals, squeezing budgets — that we sometimes miss what really matters.

👀 The bigger picture.

Some all-too-common traps:
🛠️ Over-engineering components that not only delay the schedule — but blow up costs
💸 Cutting procurement expenses, only to create long-term O&M nightmares
📊 Teams stuck in silos, chasing their own KPIs — functional teams hit their targets, but the project still misses the mark
📋 Obsessing over documentation compliance… but overlooking constructability and maintainability
🔄 Burning time and money doing things in-house, when faster, cheaper solutions are available externally

Let’s zoom out:
✅ Are we aligning engineering with execution?
✅ Is our procurement strategy synced with project/site realities?
✅ Are we really collaborating — or just coordinating?

In EPC, the best wins come when we stop working in silos and start thinking in systems.

🎯 Focus on outcomes, not just outputs.
