A Discussion About The Management Of Cost Engineering For Draining Corporation In Cheng Du City

The control of engineering cost is one of the cores for the management of construction, which always impenetrates through out the engineering construction, and which includes the confirmation control supervision and management for the cost of the total construction from investment decision, preliminary design and construction design at the beginning of the engineering construction to its completion and delivery. After China's admission to WTO, we're confronted with a serious problem that is how to go along with the international convention to implement a kind of thorough total management and control for cost engineering. Developed countries pay much attention to thorough total management for cost engineering, and they build up cost engineering as a major. Take the U.S for example, the AACE (The Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering) puts forward "Thorough total cost engineering", which points out that "Under the more and more competitive circumstance, the profit embodied from thorough total cost management and its practice is what business and corporations concern and need. In the U.S, the management of government's investment projects rests much on approved budget, and the decision of its investment and budget is mainly estimated by those completed cost engineering. Inviting public bidding and bidding is employed in the implement of projects, in which contractor quotes his price, and the relevant budget is consigned to cost engineer to figure out. Under a preferable condition of construction markets and agencies, engineering cost depends on market, and cost engineer takes charge of the thorough cost control for the project.However, in China, some problems widely exist in the management of cost engineering.First, the control of cost engineering in the period of investment decision is much ignored.Second, the control of cost engineering in the period of design is not strict enough.Third, in the period of inviting public bidding and bidding, quoting according to a list of the quantity of the project is not wholly adopted.Fourth, the control of cost engineering for the period of construction and completion is not sufficient.Through a research about the management system of cost engineering for draining corporations in Cheng Du city, this paper illustrates some relevant knowledge about thorough total Management for cost engineering, analyses several main problems which widely exist in China's management of cost engineering, high-lightens the importance of investment decision in the management of cost engineering, puts forward the function of value engineering and limited design in the management of cost engineering. The transmission from the conventional ration management mode to the mode of quoting according to a list of the quantity of the project is an inevitable trend for China's reform of management system for cost engineering. Quoting according to a list of the quantity of the project will become the core for the management of cost engineering from the period of inviting public bidding and bidding to the completion and final accounts. Therefore, this text focuses on analyzing and illustrating quoting according to a list of the quantity of the project by some aspects, which involve the necessities of quoting according to a list of the quantity of the project and how to use it.
