Civil construction engineering
Civil engineering is the foundation of architecture, so many candidates who take the cost engineer exam will choose civil engineering as their first choice to enter the cost engineer. Civil engineering is a major with the largest number of applicants and the most employment opportunities among cost engineers. Civil construction engineering has always been a popular specialty of cost engineers, and the number of employees is about five times that of installation. Civil engineering has a wide range of employment and development opportunities, but its competitiveness is relatively large. The holder of civil construction engineering cost engineer can carry out cost budget, project settlement, cost monitoring, project change and visa audit, and the work units are generally construction units and consulting units.
Because the contents of each chapter are independent of each other, the knowledge points are scattered. Civil construction engineering is the calculation of earthwork, foundation, structure and waterproof engineering cost in building. Because there are many engineering projects and steps involved, the calculation of engineering quantity is often complicated and meticulous. Different steps and different projects have different calculation methods, and many calculation rules need to be memorized. Therefore, it is best for candidates to have certain on-site construction experience and basic knowledge of engineering survey. At the same time, candidates are required to be familiar with the basic knowledge of civil construction technology and municipal construction technology.
assembling work
The development of computing software in the field of installation engineering is relatively less mature than that in civil engineering, and the number of applicants for this major is relatively small. However, in recent years, with the improvement of urban construction and the slowdown of real estate growth, civil engineering will be reduced, but the demand for drainage, lighting and fire protection will be put on the agenda. In addition, in some emerging industries and fields, such as light rail engineering, subway engineering, high-voltage transmission and distribution network engineering, smart city engineering and so on. There is a growing demand for cost engineers in installation projects. Generally speaking, the popularity of installation engineering specialty will definitely increase in the future.
The examination and study of installation engineering involves a wide range of fields and majors, and it is necessary to know some knowledge of electricity and piping in order to understand the installation specifications and measurements in the teaching materials. Master the system and related knowledge of general equipment engineering, installation engineering, pipeline and electrical engineering. For candidates who have no mechanical and electrical professional foundation, they will find the theoretical knowledge too abstract and complicated to review. Therefore, it is not recommended for laymen to enter the cost engineer industry from the installation engineering specialty.
Water conservancy and transportation specialty
At present, the construction and development of water conservancy transportation in China is still controlled by the government. The predecessors of water conservancy engineering cost engineer and traffic engineering cost engineer are highway and waterway engineering cost personnel and water conservancy engineering cost personnel under the Ministry of Transport respectively, both of which belong to the national vocational qualification system. Dams and dikes in water conservancy projects are relative to various components in housing construction, while traffic engineering focuses on the cost of highway tunnels. The construction of these two parts is usually presided over by the government, with few private enterprises and limited employment. Therefore, candidates are not recommended to apply for these two majors, unless there is actual work demand in relevant government work units or enterprises.
