According to my roommate's job-hunting direction, first of all, there are roughly three types of employment units, namely cost consulting companies, construction units and real estate companies. Civil servants or something.
? Cost consulting unit: this kind of unit, first, the working environment is particularly good, and its strength is strong in high-grade office buildings. Secondly, you can get in touch with different types of projects in a short time and master the use of software. Cost consulting company's business on cost mainly includes: compilation of bill of quantities, compilation of tender control price, compilation of bid price (rarely, general construction enterprises bid by themselves), settlement audit, cost dispute appraisal, and whole-process follow-up audit, all of which you can do. Among them, the whole process follow-up audit is the highest end, and it is also the direction of future development, which requires comprehensive contract knowledge. (Note: China Construction Bank is also Grade A in engineering cost consultation).
Construction unit: at first, the conditions were a little bitter, on the construction site. I've only been working on a project for a few years. But the advantage is that it can establish an intuitive feeling of the whole project, which is conducive to calculating the price set. Many of them have been built for several years, and even the steel bars have never been seen. It's sad. In addition, we can learn a lot about construction technology, which will greatly promote the understanding of quota. If you want to achieve a certain degree, you must have a thorough understanding of the quota, otherwise your cost will definitely encounter bottlenecks at a certain stage. Because it takes several years to do a project, most of the time I settle accounts with the labor service company. In addition, according to the time agreed in the contract, the settlement with the owner and the final completion settlement after completion need to be compared with the consulting unit hired by the owner (that is, the unit cost personnel mentioned above). In addition, it should be noted that it is easy for leaders in construction units to pay attention to costs, because leaders will pay attention to costs first. If the agency goes, it will start to involve bidding and contract negotiation. Because of the field experience, I will definitely master the unbalanced quotation method.
Real estate companies: At present, real estate companies that do their own cost audit are small and medium-sized companies, and large real estate companies are outsourced to cost consulting companies. The cost managers of real estate companies mainly do management and coordination. Generally known as the cost and contract department. Therefore, to master the contract well, the angle of cost control is very different from that of the construction unit. The cost control here is higher than that of the construction unit, and the required knowledge system is also stricter.
In short, if you graduated from a famous university, you should go to a real estate company to control costs. If not, you should choose between the construction unit and the cost consulting company according to your own personality. In addition, in order to achieve high-end cost management, we must firmly grasp the contract and have the ability of business negotiation. Don't indulge in low-end things like computing, which will be completely replaced by computers sooner or later.
