The Research On Cost Controlling Of Nantong Century Garden Construction Project

From2000to2011, construction enterprises in our nation possess the advantageof healthy environment of development as well as policy supports from ourgovernment. Many of them nowadays no longer simply take the job of building orarchitecting projects. Instead, they positively branch out into fields of designing andbidding for construction projects as well as cost controlling. Viewing from theprocess of constructing, the enterprise for one thing needs to fulfill the goal of costcontrol, for another stabilize the original business areas and operating mechanismwhich we have been possessed till now. Today the enterprise is facing the doublechallenges of both cost controlling in new areas and maintaining sustainabledevelopment. How to integrate current resources? How to prove the efficiency andharmony in every links on the basis of cost controlling? These are the main tasks infront of all constructing enterprises, which urgently demands application researcheson the models and methods of cost controlling.As a business full of competitions, construction business has low barriers toentry as well as technical contents. It requires systematic analysis in order to remaincompetitive in international construction business as a considerable amount of foreignenterprises continuously taking part in our national building market underglobalization. As a result, facing the intense market environment, we must focus onthe following two aspects to gain advantages in the competitions in order to win themarket. First, promote the general development of the enterprise by promoting ourtechnology and ability of administration. Second, tap our potential and keepinnovating in cost controlling. Reduce the cost and use of resource; raise our profits accordingly as long as the quality and safety has been proved. Our enterprises cancompete with or even get a good hand against numerous international constructingcompanies only if we can enlarge our market and reduce our cost.So we need a set of scientific and complete cost controlling system to lower thecost reasonably and make our enterprise more competitive. Meanwhile, we shouldborrow some advanced method for project cost control and make supplementsaccording to the current condition, form the effective means with our own charactersand finally help our enterprise to step forward and provide certain advices to theproperty enterprises. Cost controlling for constructing projects is a high-tech contendresearch program in China, with its certain features, mainly focuses on the listedchapters.The first chapter is the introduction, mainly talked about the background andaims of this paper, research status and frames nationally and internationally.The second chapter covered theories related. Firstly, detailed illustration offeatures and concepts of project management. Secondly, explanation to the theories ofcost control in detail, containing the meaning and importance of cost controlling inprojects, and the features and contents of it. This kind of description formed the baseof this paper.The third chapter elaborates the current situation and existing problems in theNantong Century Garden construction project. It introduced the general situation ofthe project and arrangements at the very beginning, followed by existing flaws of costcontrolling, pointed them out from the perspective of organizing and altering of thework.The fourth chapter offered the solutions to related problems, containing theprocedures and programs of cost controlling and quotas as well as the chosen ofappropriate methods for scientific and reasonable cost control. Improvements tookplace via the following3ways. Insisting on administration and technical innovation, lowering the costs for projects； enhance the institutions and refine theresponsibilities，foster employees with high qualities. Cost control in the beginningand completing process of projects. These can also be meaningful to other enterprises.The fifth chapter is conclusion part, summarized the innovating ideas andsuggestions to relevant researches on cost controlling. It also pointed someinsufficiencies in this paper, and guided the future direction.
