The transformation of production relations is EPC, PPP and whole process engineering consulting. The whole process of engineering consultation is the focus, that is, in the past, "consulting on behalf of the construction", the focus is on behalf of the construction, not consulting. Why consulting? Because we don't do the most approximate calculation, otherwise it will be contracted for construction, and we will be responsible for the budget estimate. At present, domestic engineering consulting institutions do not have this ability. Because there is a corresponding insurance system abroad, if you can't contract, there is an insurance company to pay for you, but we don't have such a system yet. If you always ask the insurance company to pay for you, your premium will keep increasing, you can't quote a competitive price, and you will be eliminated. The agent construction system was born to solve the problem of out-of-control investment in government investment projects. Its prototypes are PMC and PMA, which correspond to "contracting agent construction" and "consulting agent construction" respectively.
Technology cannot be defeated by technology, only by economy and management.
Whole-process engineering consultation can provide five value points for government investment projects.
The first point is "cost-effectiveness ratio planning", that is, v = f/c. By dividing the function of providing a scheme by its cost, the cost-effectiveness ratio of this scheme can be calculated. I put forward a sentence here, "We don't change the design, we only provide the best cost-effective solution". Many people say, what design optimization do you do? Do you know anything about design? We don't understand design, and we don't interfere with design, but we help owners choose and urge design institutes to provide better design schemes for owners. This is our role.
It turns out that I have been advocating design optimization and studying how to actively control the project cost, starting with design control. At that time, we discussed in Tianjin University that the department of technical students should be a five-year major, and one year should be devoted to engineering technology. But it failed in the end, so I now find that technology can't be defeated by technology, but by economy and management. This is our original intention, and I have had a disastrous experience. So, ladies and gentlemen, we don't change the design, we only provide the best cost-effective solution.
The second point is to eliminate transaction costs. The so-called elimination of transaction costs is to get through all transaction costs between the industrial chain and the supply chain. We have had a very successful experiment in Guangzhou. I didn't expect that Guangzhou Metro would spend billions more to adopt our scheme. Why spend billions more? Because a subway line costs more than 30 billion yuan, we suggest inviting tenders in large quantities. As a result, the management was particularly smooth and the progress reached the expectation, but the cost per kilometer was about 1 billion, and 40 kilometers was more than 40 billion. In this case, the saved transaction cost is used for schedule control.
Iii. The connotation and extension of whole-process engineering consultation are 1+N, 1 is the owner's "management", and n is the combination of "doing", management and doing of each special project. In the past, we always simply superimposed 1 and n. In the third phase of project management division Advanced Workshop on Whole Process Engineering, we made a better explanation of "+"and put forward that "+"is a platform, and management and doing are all on the platform, so that this+can be truly realized. I think this idea is very good. This "+"must be turned on, not passively waiting. We must not internalize the industrial supply chain into the internal value chain of enterprises, but cultivate enterprises with supply chain integration ability. It is a concrete measure to integrate various resources. In the future, we should not be confined to the engineering cost consultation circle, but should open our eyes.
Fourth, "a team" inspires * * * to enjoy vitality. The whole process of engineering consulting should be managed by a team, rather than the process of a company going through various business departments, so we must keep it in mind. When heroes from all walks of life are competing for the whole process of engineering consulting, I want to send you a sentence, "Dude, the problem is investment." Only we have the ability to control the whole investment, but our weakness is in the early stage, at the scene. As long as these two shortcomings are supplemented or not, joint supervision and design enterprises can do better. Only when a team is managed in the end can the whole process of engineering consultation be completed. A team can only do one thing. If you want to do two whole processes, you must organize two teams, and so on. Therefore, the spring of engineering cost consulting enterprises has come, because if you want to do the whole process of engineering consulting, you will have unprecedented changes, and you will find that the number of people will increase greatly and the output value will rise greatly. The profit margin will also increase.
Fifth, the integration spillover effect of the whole life cycle, that is, the information of the whole life cycle of the building is integrated into one subject, which can effectively transmit and utilize the project information.
Realization path of whole process engineering consultation
First, change the service concept of engineering consulting. The so-called change is to build a team, a soul and a circle. Team is to build a whole process of project management team, not to make a matrix, but to play a team. A soul is the soul of project planning. "We don't change the design, we only provide the best cost-effective solution", but we can carry out architectural planning. The architectural planning here is broad, and after my research, we have the ability to make achievements in this respect. For example, the terminal building of Hangzhou Airport is a good example. Planning creates value for the project, which is certain. A circle, an economic life circle, is necessary. What kind of resources do you need? I can quickly find and integrate this consultation.
Analysis of the relationship between project management department and participants in the whole process engineering. Look at my title, the whole process project project management division has not destroyed the legal system of five-party liability. Five parties are responsible, one is the project leader of the construction unit, and the other is the survey unit, the third-party design unit, the fourth-party construction unit and the fifth-party supervision unit. We didn't destroy it, because the project management office "1" is the project leader of the construction unit, and the legal responsibility of the construction unit has not changed. "n" is a variety of special services. If you undertake "N", you are the subject of legal responsibility for various special services. If several "N's" are accepted, there are several legal subjects.
The relationship among project management division, chief architect and chief supervision engineer in the whole process engineering. The chief architect shall bear the legal responsibility of the design unit, and the chief supervision engineer may concurrently serve as project management division to manage the whole process of the project. If there is a supervisor's task, you can choose a supervisor to do the whole process engineering project management division, or you can choose a whole process engineering project management division, and then choose a chief supervision engineer.
The service content and cost of the whole process engineering consultation. "1+N" has just been said, and I want to say it again. How to "+"1and "n" is to make a platform and combine it on the platform. The charging mode is also "1+N", and now our total cost can be 5~6%. If the guide to the whole process engineering consulting service drafted by us for Guangdong Province can be issued as soon as possible, the management fee of the construction unit can be increased to 3%, the fees of other projects can be increased to 8-9%, and other provinces can also get 5-6%, then this is a great good news. If we can get 8%, it will be almost the same as international practice.
So, who will take the lead? I mean, who can best understand the needs of the owners, who can best integrate the high-quality resources in the supply chain of the construction industry to meet the needs of the owners and realize the value of the proposed project, who is the whole process engineering consulting enterprise. So we don't argue now, each party has its own advantages, and whoever can be recognized by the owner is the lead enterprise in the whole process of engineering consulting.
The second path is to upgrade the whole process of cost consultation. For us, our core competitiveness is investment control. So, with the help of Clinton's sentence "Idiot, the problem is economy", I changed it to "Dude, the problem is investment". Yesterday, Henan Province issued a document ("Notice of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department of Henan Province on Applying for a Pilot Enterprise for Cost Consultation in the Whole Process of Construction Projects"), and I gave a thumbs-up at first glance. I said, "Henan is really good." Because it seems to be a pilot enterprise to cultivate the whole process cost and cost consulting ability, it is actually to cultivate the overall planning ability in the whole process engineering consulting business and pave the way for the engineering cost consulting enterprises to rise to the whole process engineering consulting in an all-round way. This is a very good opportunity. With such a good competent unit in Henan Province, we have no reason to lag behind the whole country.
Third, the whole process engineering consultation of EPC project. According to my previous thinking, EPC has no whole-process engineering consultation. Because EPC has been contracted by the general contractor, do you still need the whole process engineering consultation? Unexpectedly, the opportunity appeared. China's trust in EPC is not enough, so the overall shape of EPC is strictly controlled, and it has become a kind of EPC with China characteristics. What are the characteristics? It is to strengthen the relationship between the engineering iron triangle, and then, it will still be this triangle. Supervision is weakened into a project management unit to assist the owner in project management.
The price of building products is determined by value, but there is also a decisive factor, that is, the use value. The use value is determined by consumer management, so in the future, it is not how high the price of engineering works is, but to meet the preferences of consumers, and the price will be high. EPC general contracting subverts the principle of quantity contracting and quantity payment and settlement, and changes to function contracting and function payment and settlement. This is a very big challenge for us. In addition, under EPC general contracting mode, design optimization, as the value created by the contractor, should be owned by the contractor. Therefore, general contracting should focus on functional optimization.
Fourth, cultivate business by the general trend of PPP model. A few days ago, I saw a comment in a circle of friends, "When the tide recedes, you will know who is swimming naked"-PPP projects have problems such as hasty launch, imprecise and insufficient demonstration of previous projects. Various controls at the financial end are gradually improving, but the control at the project end is seriously lacking, and the whole process engineering consultation is needed. "Everyone here, you can't stand by and watch, you must pay close attention to this project. Now the end of the project is the biggest weakness of finance. At this time, finance+projects are needed to meet the whole process of PPP+. Tianjin TEDA proposed the third-party supervision, with many projects; Haitian Consulting proposed "total scheme control" and "investment control" and recruited hundreds of people. This is the importance of thought. Pay attention to third-party supervision, saying that it is PPP consulting, others are not interested, and when it is PPP third-party supervision, it is very interested.
What does it mean to borrow PPP mode? Look at the pictures. Once the Ministry of Finance seized PPP, it reached a peak in 20 16 years, and then dropped, and there will be a hump, which is only 1/3 worse than the peak, but this stage will last for 10 years. In addition, I expect that there will be a large number of PPP from the end of this year to the beginning of next year. So we must combine PPP with engineering consulting. If we don't increase investment in fixed assets, the GDP growth rate in many places may not reach expectations, so after a recovery period of six months to one year, PPP will enter a stable development period of 10. How can we miss the opportunity of 10? Do not miss it.
