Design-led EPC projects in building construction and municipal engineering face numerous quality and safety management challenges

including ambiguity in the rights and responsibilities of the consortium

extensive cross-disciplinary overlap

high personnel turnover

and the design institute's lack of construction management experience.This article analyzes the characteristics of quality and safety management in such projects

identifies existing problems—focusing on an inadequate management system

insufficient risk identification and hazard investigation

inadequate investment in quality and safety

perfunctory training and education

and the disconnect between design and construction.It proposes measures such as improving the responsibility mechanism

strengthening risk control

rigorously overseeing the utilization of safety measure fees

optimizing training and education

and promoting the integration of design and construction.
