1. Problems existing in project construction cost control of water resources and hydropower at present
(1) Lack of clarity on the control target of construction cost
The control of construction cost must be based on clear standards and a scientific control system must be established. At present, most hydropower construction units are too superficial and simplistic in formulating the construction cost, and only make a rough formulation according to the cost of past experience projects, which seriously ignores the construction conditions, construction environment and time limit plan of the project. The project department simply calculates the project costs such as material costs, labor costs, equipment costs and other indirect and direct costs in the same proportion, which largely ignores the profit margin. All projects are based on this model to set the cost target, which leads to the target cost divorced from the actual cost.
(2) Lack of a perfect incentive system combining responsibility and right
At present, hydropower construction units lack a perfect incentive system combining responsibility and right, leaders' speeches don't count, and people's recognition is lacking, and the reward and punishment system of enterprises has been delayed. Therefore, we must adhere to the principle of combining responsibility with power and distinguishing rewards and punishments, so as to promote the rapid development of project cost management.
(3) hydropower construction units do not know enough about construction cost control
At present, many hydropower construction units still regard cost control management as the patent of a few managers. They usually think that cost control management is the business of the financial department, while the staff of other teams and workshops are production workers, which leads to the lack of cost awareness of employees in the unit. Practice has proved that project construction cost control is a process in which all employees control and manage together, which is closely related to every employee and every production and business activity. The source and fundamental of construction cost control is the production organization process of construction, and the theme of cost control is the direct production operators and construction organizations, not just financial managers.
Second, effective measures to control the project construction cost of water conservancy and hydropower
(1) Clarify the control target of construction cost
Investors and project managers should integrate and analyze all the details in the construction process during the supervision of the project, so as to keep the cost of the project at a minimum, mainly by strictly controlling the salary of employees, material expenses and energy consumption, so as to make the cost clear and not vague, so as to avoid the incorrect data leading to various funds. It is also very important for the improvement of technology, which can make the construction complete before the expected completion and ensure the integrity and scientificity of the project construction. In construction, managers should pay close attention to the technical construction obstacles that will happen, make timely adjustments, find their own shortcomings, and introduce advanced technology to keep the technology to the best level in construction. Investors, while supervising, should also pay attention to it, remind the construction personnel of the improvement work in time, and ensure the comprehensive and rapid construction of the project.
(II) Process management of strict cost control
In order to manage the project cost realistically, it is necessary to put an end to the phenomenon of stealing and using by people at all levels. In recent years, due to the improvement of the power system, the cost of some cables has soared, causing many construction workers to steal when the supervisors are not paying attention, resulting in many losses in the project. This is just an example. There are a lot of valuable equipment on the project site, and many of them want to steal it. In addition, with the improvement of modern engineering processing technology, many nearby employees are directly wired to do their homework at home, which has caused serious losses to many resources of the project. Based on these, I think that managers should strengthen management, find theft, and strictly punish it. In the construction, there must be clear management regulations, and all levels of personnel understand the details and punishment standards, so that they dare not do these things. In addition, the waste of materials and the wear and tear of equipment should be included in the project cost management, and the material saving and the integrity of equipment should be strictly controlled and managed. To prevent major accidents that will happen at any time, it should be added to the cost when managing the construction cost. It is also very important to effectively cultivate and improve the quality of employees in the construction stage. Improving the overall quality of employees at all levels can ensure that all kinds of losses in construction are minimized.
(3) Grasp five principles of construction cost control
1. Principle of total cost control: that is, conduct comprehensive control and management of the whole construction process, the whole enterprise and all employees. Among them, total staff control refers to the economic accounting of all units, departments and teams, and establishes a new concept that everyone is responsible for cost management. For the overall control of project cost, it is required to carry out cost control work continuously in all stages and every link of project construction, and do not be too tight or too loose, resulting in omissions due to negligence, so as to ensure that the project cost is under effective control and management from beginning to end.
2. Principle of minimizing cost target: The primary task of management and control of construction cost is to use various cost management means to continuously reduce construction cost, so as to realize the requirement of minimizing target cost.
3. Management principles of cost objectives: set and decompose the cost objectives, put the responsibility of each objective on people, strictly implement the set objectives, regularly check the progress and implementation results of the objectives, and evaluate and correct the results of the objectives, thus forming a complete PDCA circulation system of objective management from planning to implementation to inspection and finally to treatment.
4. principle of active cost control: the control of construction cost covers the whole dynamic process of the project before construction, during construction and completion, so we must adhere to the principle of active cost control. Before construction, the cost target is determined, the cost plan is compiled and the cost control scheme is formulated according to the design content in the organization design. For the cost control at completion, because the profit or loss of the cost is basically a foregone conclusion, there is no chance to make too many changes, so it is necessary to strengthen the active control of the cost during construction.
5. Principle of combining responsibility with power: All departments of the construction unit have the responsibility and power to control the cost during the whole project construction. The manager of the project department should regularly check and assess the cost control of each department, implement the policy of clear rewards and punishments, and adhere to the control principle of combining responsibility with power, so as to achieve the expected purpose and effect.
(4) Take effective control measures
1. Use effective technical measures to strictly control the construction cost
Formulate an economic, reasonable and technologically advanced construction design scheme, so as to shorten the construction period to the maximum, ensure the safety of the project, improve the quality of the project, reduce the construction cost, and strive to explore various new technologies, new processes, new materials and new equipment to improve efficiency and reduce losses.
2. Use economic measures to strengthen the control of construction costs
The construction costs of water conservancy and hydropower construction units mainly include: material costs, labor costs, equipment costs, direct and indirect costs, etc. Therefore, they can be reasonably controlled by taking economic measures. For example, the control of material cost can reduce the cost of material purchase by controlling the purchase price of materials; Labor cost control is mainly to arrange construction tasks reasonably, strengthen technical training and strengthen labor discipline; The cost control of equipment mainly depends on the correct selection and rational utilization of equipment, thus improving the utilization rate of equipment.
3. Establish an organization, clarify management responsibilities, and control construction costs
Establish a perfect organization, clarify various related management systems, and assign responsibilities to people. For example, the main person in charge of the project department is the project manager, who needs to be fully responsible for the construction progress, cost, site management, safety and engineering quality of the project; Technical departments should try their best to adopt more advanced construction technologies and technical methods to improve construction efficiency and reduce project construction costs while ensuring safety and quality.
4. Strengthen quality control, thereby reducing quality cost
By strictly controlling the construction quality in the construction process, the quality hidden danger is eliminated, the rework probability is reduced, and the quality cost of construction is controlled and reduced.
Only by defining the control target of construction cost, strictly managing the process of cost control, grasping five principles of construction cost control and taking effective control measures can the construction cost of hydropower and water conservancy construction units be effectively controlled. Facing the increasingly competitive living environment, hydropower construction units can only survive in the competition and get rapid development by adopting efficient cost control management methods and constantly improving the management level of construction costs.
