【 Weak current College 】 construction investment management and measures

Summary: the architectural engineering project management, quality control, process control, investment control as its three control, is a construction works can achieve the expected economic benefits, the core of the social benefit. Of these, quality control and schedule control after years of development, has relative norms and perfection, the only investment control, because of their human factors impact is large, has not achieved the desired result. This article on the current status of architectural engineering investment control, control on investment out of reason and make some improvements and measures.

1. status of the project investment management, cost management, cost control, project investment can bring the expected benefits of the key.

Since reform and opening up, China project cost has made considerable progress. Cost management departments from a planned economy system of passive management, simple preparation of fixed development to economic change according to the market, on a regular basis various engineering elements of adjustment coefficient, cost coefficient; Interventional bidding and contract management. However, many projects were still appear investment out of the budget estimates, budget-super super budget estimates, clearing and settlement.

2. architectural engineering investment management runaway caused runaway construction investment management for several reasons, one of the most important:

2.1. investment management system defects. Leading investment decision-making is not science, without strict project budget, investment, construction, design, construction units lack consistent cost management objectives and mutual communication, engineering supervision units are often confined to the construction stage of quality and schedule management, seldom involved in investment decision making. Design units in the design phase is done a project budget even refinement to the budget, but because of the lack of design cost indexes of constraints, lead design control of conservative, investment is high. In the bidding phase, the base price and price valuation, made in the implementation stage, or because of a shortage of funds, or lack of strict cost management, leading investment management out of control. Works cannot complete the loan interest is increasing, the scarce funds to run in the vicious circle, to enterprises, financial institutions and countries have brought tremendous losses.

2.2. Engineering investment determines the method is not science. Project investment identified more with a fixed, fixed price and for a few years ago, labor, materials, machinery rent price statistics. Although the parts cost management departments by regularly publishing some adjustment coefficient or low marks to achieve and the current construction cost management information system development and the application is not timely provision of cost management personnel in the required information, difficult to implement with international practice of the kind of budgeting, therefore, such a static and lagging of price determination methods, unable to meet the changing requirements of the market economy. Different levels of the contractor pursuant to the same fixed compilation of different works price, is unable to distinguish between contracting units in different locations, different engineering price differences.

2.3. contract management owes the specification. On the one hand, the terms of the contract is not strict, in both parties to understand the terms of the contract, the impact project smoothly; on the other hand, the law of contracts, there is a lack of awareness of do. If the project's payment often can not be timely payment in accordance with the contract, the contractor had to get over rebate, and other means, this project also resulted in the construction industry, offering more serious situation.

2.4. low cost management quality. Our existing construction cost consultants or consulting firms whose main business is mostly depends on quota for project budget, settlement of audit. Its staff often have engaged in budget work. ' So when implementing cost management, exposed one of the biggest problems is not adapted to the requirements of modern cost management. Concrete is a professional technical quality is poor, not independent decisively tackle complex engineering economic problems, poor investment pre-control, considerable work remains in the subsequent processing stages; — is not very good at organizing and coordinating project relationships between the various subjects; third, the lack of economic and legal knowledge, the ability to process claims, in particular the lack of international project management of FIDIC contract conditions. In the construction market competitive today, this professional level clearly do not meet modern requirements of the project cost management. If you do not increase their business management as soon as possible, our building enterprise lost not only foreign construction market, and even possibly due to construction of globalization has made our domestic construction market will be occupied by foreign developers.

3. avoid engineering investment out of measures

3.1. engineering design plan reasonable because the owners want to provide form construction products in the construction industry in the whole process of service, therefore, employed by the owners of construction cost consultants or consulting firms, participated in the study on the feasibility from the investment until the completion of all work, but in the continuous process of management, the different stages and seriousness of, according to some Western countries, design fees generally equivalent to the construction life cycle cost of 1 per cent, but this is less than 1 per cent of the costs but fundamental determines the cost of nearly all later. Thus, in the design phase of investment management for the entire project cost management is important, in the design phase, the cost of staff focus on helping owners according to technical and economic analysis and value engineering to choose the best design solution. If located in Shanghai city centre of Hang Lung Plaza 66, structural engineer the upper structure of the three structural system. Construction cost consultants according to the Shanghai construction market price quotes on these programmes delivered a cost analysis, the result is the total cost of the reinforced concrete structure has a clear advantage, cost respectively than all-steel structure save 34%. Than the steel structure of a reinforced concrete mixture, while 28% savings through architectural features and cost of further exploration, and eventually become owners of preferred programme. Cost to an earlier decision involved in the design stage, and changes the mode of construction. There are totally unknown in China many soil under the international construction market changes, you can try out our country by promoting CM models. The original meaning is CM design and construction of cross-cutting jobs, it changed my long-term design and construction phase separation phenomenon, let the design and constructionTwo procedures as far as possible, mutual communication and lap, which helps to reduce costs, improve quality, but also enable the duration reduced to beneficial owners. At the same time, some experts pointed out that China's construction can also be considered by the traditional modle extends forward to d + D + B mode, that is, the contractor is responsible for the initial decision phase of planning, management, is responsible for the design and construction; or backward extension for D + B + FM mode, that is, the design, construction and property management, these innovative contract mode, making building enterprise business scope, features are changed, with design, construction, cost management, development and management capacity, and even managed to help owners, for project financing. This design and construction process of mutual gets close, so that construction enterprises in the design phase to design units design provides construction on investment most provincial programmes while contractors to owners and financing, and the contractor and the owner's interests. In this way, to the design phase as the focus of the whole process of investment management is more likely to become a reality.

3.2. dynamic cost control software for advanced control of China's investment capital surplus occurs over the situation, is often the way information management, information accuracy not behind, not timely, comprehensive and reliable decision-making for policy makers. In order to implement the dynamic management of the project cost, a cost management system is essential, the so-called project cost management system, is to use the machine's condition, the man-machine, the construction cost information for the collection, transport, processing, preservation, maintenance and use of the system, which consists of quota management system, price management system, the cost evaluation system and cost control systems that take advantage of the system, you can replace the artificial red variety of day-to-day business processes work, and also for management personnel to provide timely and effective information and become the leader for decision support systems. In the project cost management, a lot of good computer software/Internet/civil servants, to achieve the progress of the project investment and dynamic tracing, such as the World Bank and many State Government recommended P3 series software and Microsoft MSProject98 can calculate the project management of network parameters, critical path, slack, automatic generation of bar charts, network diagrams, and calendar, task allocation plan table, automatic drawing resources, workload and cost curve, automatically balancing all of the resources. The domestic many works, including the three gorges, xiaolangdi and other major projects are in use such software. But on thousands of projects, the use of the software is still small, therefore it is necessary according to the China's national conditions attached importance to the cost of development and research, truly dynamic management of cost, ensure the effective implementation of the investment control.

3.3. contract management comprehensive, standardized international engineering contracting and contract management focuses on the following aspects:

(1) the legal nature of the contract; the completeness of the

(2) the contract is complete;

(3) risk assessment is reasonable;

(4) to pay particular attention to the second part of the contractual conditions (special provisions), because it combines specific works of the actual situation on the part to delete, and modify, is the key to the execution of the contract;

(5) project description should ensure a clear, detailed and technically feasible;

At the same time, the cost of consultants or consulting firms should insist the impartial professional ethics, prevent one-sided dependence owners will deliberately contractor prices. The owners, the low cost of the General project hope some good, but from the international construction contract management can be seen, the low-priced surface, often shoddy work or frequent claims, or causes delays. Work stoppages and other serious incidents. So reasonably developed base and bid is guaranteed investment is an important means of control. This ensures that the contractor's reasonable interests, good for works smoothly, in practice but also indirectly protect the interests of the owners. In addition, because the domestic architecture of the laws, regulations and contract demonstration text and the text of the international standard contracts, in particular with the international FIDIC contract text than the text of the contract, the contract subject of rigor in default rights are still some gaps, to this end, the necessary foreign contractual terms of a reasonable portion of our finance, insurance, building codes, the text of the present contract, amendments and legal departments of supervision, be guaranteed contracts and law-breakers, solemnity of the project investment in effective control provide legal guarantees. Civil service-1 network 3.4. cost of comprehensive quality practitioners.

Foreign cost consultants or consulting firms usually have high quality talent, business wide characteristics. In General, regardless of the United Kingdom's QS system (quantity surveyors line), United States of CM (engineer), or since the 1960s in the United States, Germany, France, Japan and other countries widely adopted PM system (project management), its core is a cost management personnel status, qualifications, duties, obligations, how they work, and the same owners, contractors, and other Department legally. Economy on hold. Advanced countries cost consultants or consulting firms generally have the project accumulated rich management experiences, talents, high technology titles in proportion as high as 30 to 40 per cent, and undergo a rigorous certification process, the General can achieve proficiency in the law, be good at management, skilled professional, with the construction, installation of various expertise, able to carry out technical-economic analysis, proficiency in the use of computer technology. Its range of services to meet the early demonstration from the project, project management, and later a cost assessment of supervision and control content requirements.

4. concluding remarks

Construction investment management is a full dynamic management, participant of many. To improve the efficiency of investment projects, the joint efforts of all participants, in engineering design, dynamic control of timeliness, contract management, cost of regulatory staff comprehensive quality and so much effort and implemented all aspects of the construction process, the details, we believe that our project investment will have a qualitative leap.R>
