Project cost management is a comprehensive subject. It is a policy-oriented, technical, economical and practical work based on the national guidelines and policies on engineering construction and involving and applying the achievements of other technical and economic disciplines. It can be seen that the cost engineer should have a thorough understanding of the design content, design process, construction technology, project management, economic laws and regulations, etc., in addition to the in-depth understanding of professional knowledge. We should also have rich practical experience and integrate technical and economic knowledge. Cost engineers are talents with multi-level knowledge. Today, with the gradual improvement of market economy system and increasingly diversified investment, a large number of cost engineers are urgently needed to provide scientific decision-making basis for project investment. To meet the above requirements, we should start from the following aspects:
1. Establish a group of truly independent engineering cost consulting institutions to play an intermediary role between owners and contractors. In the management of government investment projects, the activities of consulting institutions make it unnecessary for the government to directly manage projects, but rely on indirect means to achieve the purpose of regulation and management. In this process, the cost engineer has the same status as other professional engineers, which restricts and influences each other and plays an active role in engineering construction. This can not only liberate government officials from complex economic activities, but also give full play to the initiative and creativity of engineering cost professionals. They not only provide high-quality, convenient and comprehensive cost management services for owners, but also provide professional engineering cost consulting services for government departments.
2. Strengthen the accumulation and analysis of project cost data. Engineering cost specialty is a practical specialty. Without accumulating experience and mastering methods, it is impossible to carry out work. Therefore, in order to improve the compilation level of project cost, both units and individuals must attach great importance to the accumulation, collation and analysis of data. In developed countries, all kinds of basic cost data, including labor, materials, equipment consumption and prices, land prices, financing interest rates, profits of all parties, etc. Generally, it is not uniform and fixed, and it is completely determined by the market or actual needs, and managed by cost management professionals and professional groups. Many engineering cost consulting companies, societies and academic groups regularly publish all kinds of latest cost data and price information to realize the social sharing of cost information resources. These methods, which have been proved to be effective by the experience of developed countries, should be used for reference and a data accumulation and analysis system suitable for China's national conditions should be developed.
3. Improve the advanced education of engineering cost specialty and the re-education activities of on-the-job personnel. Because project cost management is closely related to the economic interests of all parties in the construction project and plays a very important guiding role in the economic activities of the whole society, educational institutions should be urged to set up professional courses of project cost according to the quality requirements of the market for cost management talents, and formally train senior talents of project cost specialty. The setting of its professional courses should also be completely determined according to the market demand and the requirements of talent quality. It is necessary to offer not only various engineering courses such as building structure and machinery, but also basic courses such as economy, finance, cost, probability and mathematical statistics. At the same time, we should also offer new courses such as system engineering, value engineering, technical economy, econometrics, computer and management science to expand our knowledge and enlighten our thinking. As an industry management organization, the Engineering Cost Society should regularly carry out continuing education for on-the-job personnel. Educational institutions and industry management institutions constitute a complete education system. Create conditions for the growth of senior talents in the field of engineering cost.
4. Self-study and improvement of engineering cost professionals. Generally speaking, there is still a big gap between the quality of personnel in China's engineering cost industry and the requirements of society. So study hard and keep up with the times. In addition to updating and improving professional knowledge, we should also extensively understand and preliminarily master relevant engineering and technical professional knowledge in combination with our work. Only by mastering the project content comprehensively can we control the project cost well. Imagine, if we don't know much about the project with cost and are very vague about its professional knowledge, how can we control the investment? Engineering cost practitioners should first be experts in this field, but also experts in engineering. Only high-level talents can work out high-level project cost. The status of a major is directly proportional to the role it plays. We should improve our personal level, gradually improve the working level of the whole industry and play our due role in China's modernization drive.
It is a systematic project to effectively control the project cost and improve the level of project cost compilation. We need not only a high-quality team of experts, but also supporting government policies and social environment.
