Research On Cost Control Of Construction Project

Construction cost is the sum of all costs for the construction and management of the construction enterprises. It reflects the comprehensive consumption of labor and material in the process of construction. while it is a comprehensive indicator measuring the results of operation and management of enterprise. Presently, with the fierce competition in construction market, construction enterprises are contracting projects at low prices. The profit of contracted projects is very low. Some companies even lose money. Therefore, it is a formidable problem for each construction firm to strengthen the cost control of the construction project, to improve cost management responsibility system and to make fullest use of instructional facilities to improve economic efficiency.By employing cost control of construction project in the Second Construction Engineering Co..LTD. China Construction Third Engineering Bureau as the actual background, Firstly the general theory about cost control of construction project is sum up, especially the object, basis and control principles of the construction project cost control is set forth, which provide the theoretical basis for further discussion on cost control of the project in the second company. Then the practical operation of cost control of construction project is discussed, including the procedure and research methods of cost control of construction project, which lay the basis for putting forward to measures and suggestions of cost control of the project.Secondly, through investigation and reach of the case about project cost control of the second construction engineering company, the present situation of project cost control of the company is summarized and the present problems and main reasons of the project cost control in the company is analyzed. On this foundation, countermeasures and suggestions are put forward to strengthen the present project cost control of the company, chiefly including: to constitute project cost control system by system management ideology, to normalize the basis of the project cost control and to choose the reasonable methods of cost control (especially to set up the information-based system of cost control).Thirdly, a very important technology methods (value engineering method) is put forward to improve the project cost control, which integrate the case of 2x300MW silo project for delivering and storing coals in the company's electricity factory. It realizes the excellent option and further optimization of prepared construction projects. It severely reduce the project cost and finally finish the object of cost control, which provide the important reference basis for strengthening cost management and effective control.Finally, summarization and expectation that we should apply system management ideology to set up project cost control system frame including technology system, economic system and social system in the process of controlling project cost are provided. It is believed that project cost control is a process management and all-participant management. Only in this way, objects can be achieved.
