ABSTRACT: In recent years, EPC, as a project contracting model, has been promotedin the international and domestic markets. This mode can realize the reasonable intersection of design, procurement and construction, and can reasonably combine the three major businesses so that the whole project plan can be more optimized which is very beneficial to the management of the owner, and can effectively ensure the progress of the project construction. The achievement of the owner’s cost target. However, many participants are intertwined in a system, which will inevitably bring huge challenges to managers. For example, the goals of different participants are very different, which will form the interface between organizations. Based on this problem, this paper will systematically review the interface management, find out the influencing factors of the EPC project interface management through literature, and further screen and evaluate the influencing factors through expert interviews and questionnaires, so as to obtain six influencing factors: poor information processing ability, design work ignores buildability, security incident, too much intervention by the owner, use of new technologies, new materials and new processes in construction, uncertainty and changes in the surrounding environment, and carry out variance analysis of influencing factors for different individual characteristics and obtain factors such as “too much intervention by the owner”.Males have higher recognitionandhigher education than females.The higher the degree of recognition of this factoris, the highest degree of recognition of the supervision unit for “design work ignores constructability”is.
