In order to survive, improve and develop in today's competitive market, corporations need to find new ways to cut their costs.

The second part of the thesis discusses the existing costs management problems in our country's construction corporations. The third part first analyzes the formation of the construction corporation value chain, then briefly introduces the implementing steps of cost control method based on value chain theory. The last part of the thesis quotes real cases to support the value chain theory. The study of this thesis aims to find a new way to improve the cost management level and lower construction costs of our country's construction corporations.
