It is understood that engineering consulting serves the whole process of project construction, providing the whole process service from investment decision-making, construction to later operation and maintenance. It is an important producer service industry and of great significance to social and economic development. After decades of market-oriented development, China's engineering consulting service has formed a variety of professional consulting service formats, including investment consulting, bidding agency, survey, design, supervision, cost, test and inspection, project management and so on.
The market scale of engineering consulting industry is closely related to the scale of national fixed assets investment. With the rapid growth of investment in fixed assets and the rapid increase of engineering projects, it has promoted the development of many engineering technology service industries, including engineering consulting industry.
The engineering consulting industry in China started in 1980s. After nearly 40 years of development, from the perspective of industry scale and growth rate, it has experienced the initial stage and growth stage, and is in the early stage of maturity.
Second, what is the development prospect of the engineering consulting industry?
In recent years, with the reform of system and mechanism and the improvement of market competition, all kinds of engineering consulting enterprises continue to innovate, improve their service level and increase the added value of design consulting results, so as to improve their competitiveness and join the market competition. With the acceleration of marketization, the vitality of engineering consulting industry will be further generated.
At present, the state strongly encourages investment consulting, survey, design, supervision, bidding agency, cost and other enterprises to develop whole-process engineering consulting by means of joint operation, merger and reorganization, and has cultivated a number of international-level whole-process engineering consulting enterprises, and formulated the whole-process engineering consulting service agreement and contract model. Therefore, with the strong encouragement of the country, it is still very appropriate to be an engineering consulting company now. In addition, the national policy of decentralization, strengthening supervision and improving service has also promoted the development of private enterprises, and the prospect of engineering consulting industry will be broader and broader.
At present, industry head enterprises have been actively researching and developing, integrating software and hardware integration such as drones, intelligent sensing equipment and deep learning, and developing application technologies and services such as intelligent detection and intelligent supervision. For example, in the field of engineering supervision, automatic monitoring of high slope slip, automatic monitoring of bridges, automatic monitoring of internal construction of tunnels, automatic monitoring of large-scale concrete, and pipe network platforms all belong to the category of intelligent supervision. Intelligent supervision can be implemented through technical equipment such as drones and intelligent monitoring equipment, which can effectively reduce labor costs and greatly improve service quality. Many domestic enterprises have begun to develop in the direction of intelligent supervision and actively lay out relevant markets. Intelligent supervision is a foreseeable future development trend.
