Abstract : The goal of this research is to see if the way EPC contracts function is beneficial to the architectural profession, and if so, how it may be improved. According to our research based on a qualitative approach that includes case studies from the public sector and further interviews with experts in the area, the architect's position in an EPC contract is not critical and is in line with other project stakeholders. EPC contractors also have the capacity to control the project's workflow, therefore architects may be forced to make compromises in terms of design, remuneration, and so on.

Keywords : EPC Contract, Project management consultant, Architect, Contractor.
