the stage of the project cost managementAbstract:Project cost management is the basic contents to determine reasonable and effective control of the project cost. Described the current stage of the project cost management situation on the strengthening of the various stages of construction cost management of the importance of and raised a number of key initiatives.Keywords:project cost;the current stage of the project;project cost management;Even under the WTO and China's accession to the world community,China's construction industry how to effectively control construction cost of the construction and management of an important component part. However,the current budget for the construction projects - estimate,budget,Super budget accounts for the "super three" is still widespread and that eventually led to a serious loss of control of project investment. Project cost management is the basic contents to determine reasonable and effective control of the project cost.As the project cost to the project runs through the entire process,stage by stage can be divided into Investment Decision stage,the design and implementation phases. The so-called Project Cost effective control is the optimization of the construction plans and design programs on the basis of in the building process at all stages,use of certain methods and measures to reduce the cost of the projects have a reasonable control on the scope and cost of the approved limits.Engineering and cost management work of the current status of project cost management system was formed in the 1950s,1980s perfect together. Performance of the country and directly involved in the management of economic activities. Provisions in the design stage to different estimates or budget preparation as well as government; Nothing relevant departments to formulate a budget,content,methods and approval,the budget will provide the fixed cost of equipment and materials and fixed price of the budget preparation,approval,management authority,and so on.With the historical process,after recovery,reform and development,formed a relatively complete budget estimate of quota management system. However,as the socialist market economic development,the system's many problems have also exposed. Generally speaking,the budget estimate is based on direct participation in the management of national economic activity as a precondition. Enterprise is not the actual economic entities. Due to the characteristics of the planned economy,and,at the time under the conditions of productivity,will inevitably become a shortage in the economy.In severe shortage of commodities under the conditions,as long as a certain level of investment,will be certain outputs. In this environment,the project planning and technical argumentation there can be no economic analysis. State control of the project cost constitute key factors equipment and materials prices,wages and taxes of artificial distribution. In this relatively stable economic environment,the budget estimate for the system approved project cost,help the government to carry out investment plans to play a major role.As the socialist market economic system established,requires us to predict project investment and control. In recent years,international investment project developed to the requirements of prior pre-control and in the middle of control. China,the traditional practice in an objective light onthe cause decision-making,implementation heavy,light the economy and technology,First,the consequences of victimization,Due to the technical personnel of the project technical and economic concepts and a weak awareness of cost control,cost management makes the quality difficult to raise. Project Cost control is difficult to achieve long-term goals.Second,the various stages of the project management view of the above circumstances,My first academia in the 1980s made the whole process of cost management and control concept,building departments will study the feasibility of projects and the budgets and final accounts to two extended at the request of the corresponding regulations put our cost management concepts and methods referred to a new height.Our task now is to be modern and cost management in line with China's national conditions of the market economy system goal,learn from the advanced experience of the developed countries,and establish sound market economic laws of project cost management system,efforts to increase the project cost levels. An investment decision-making phase of the project cost management construction project investment decision-making stage is proposed project proposals; conduct a feasibility study to determine investment estimation and the final preparation of design task. At this stage,the project's technical and economic decision-making,of the construction project cost of the project after the completion of the economic benefits have a decisive influence,The construction cost is an important stage control.China's current stage of the project cost for the project management for the purpose of clearing price,and focusing only on the construction process of cost control,neglected before the start of the project investment decision-making stage of cost control. Investment decision-making phase of investment projects is estimated an important basis for decision-making. Ithas a direct impact on national economic and financial analysis of the results of the reliability and accuracy. Because of this phase is the preliminary work of projects,the information cannot be fully,comparable works more or less that information accumulated relatively small,estimated inadequate and unscientific. Makes project cost management and cost workers is difficult at this stage do something.The various stages of the project cost control in the decision-making phase project cost control. Right project planning phase of the cost,many owners have the wrong understanding that the lower the cost the better. Cost control is not a unilateral issue,and should be a number of factors,a combination of practical,comprehensive consideration. The construction project investment decision-making stage,the project's technical and economic decision-making,Cost of the project after the completion of the project and the economic benefits,with a decisive role in project cost control is an important stage,rationally define and control the direction of the project cost of accurate positioning and building Optimization guiding role.In the decision-making phase of the most important is to do a good job feasibility study,the work is done well,returns on investment and can form a good proportion. Otherwise,invest more,less effective,resulting in loss of control and waste of investment.At present,some of the projects planned the owners of departure from the subjective desires of a feasibility study on the lack of scientific proof. Feasibility Study untrue,false or engineering functions obtaining the approval of their superiors,actually put into the feasibility study will be awarded in the study for the project after the smooth functioning buried a lot of hidden problems,lead to insufficient follow-up funds for the project andhad to extend the time limit so that the project could not have planned the use of cost-effective,even become hopeless completion of the beard works.Therefore,in order to phase in the investment decision-making effectively control construction costs,we must do the following aspects: Implementationof the construction project and corporate accountability,Construction of the project from planning to implementation of the entire process and the use of the funds to repay responsibilities to the people. in addition to establishing a legal system and the project supervision matching mechanism by the departments in charge of the industry and supervision departments for setting up a monitoring group to oversee the use of funds.A realistic approach to market analysis,to avoid the blindness of the project decision-making,reduces and reduces investment risk. Fully consider building projects in the future market competitiveness,design task more scientific and reliability.Capital financing must have a formal commitment document,the parties must do investment funds in place,and funds must have documents to ensure that the project can be approved after the scheduled implementation. To the various loan conditions should be carefully analyzed to minimize the burden of interest and repayment pressure.To strengthen the engineering geology,hydrology,geology and land,water,electricity,transport,environmental projects such as external conditions for the work of depth to make the investment estimate there are sufficient grounds.Taking extensive investigation and research,comparison of similar projects,seriously functional analysis,multi-program comparison and choice. After full technical appraisal and economic evaluation,and the final technologically advanced,functional and reliable. Reasonable economic projects,thus calculate a more accurate and realistic estimation of theamount of investment,so that the project cost from the start positioning in a more reasonable level.The design phase of the project cost control for a long time,China's building control very effective,- investment projects is not uncommon,this will affect owners of investment returns,it adds to the owners and within budget,as well as difficulties in fund owners,the impact on the future management or the owners make payments in arrears,and so on. Hence,the control of the project cost is of great significance,however the project cost is the primary means of control design,Currently most of the property owners in the design stage seldom works on cost control,and they found that the cost of the design will not have a great impact,it is wrong,on the contrary,Design phase of the project cost control is the most important step. Because it determines engineering design,construction methods,materials and equipment types,models of the project cost is of critical significance,design optimization phase of the program or minor changes,project cost will have a significant impact,Design phase of the project cost control of the total project cost of 70%. Following is how to control the project from design to create the Law: As the owners must design,the design selected on the quality level is a direct impact on the quality of product design level,and the design quality products in the level of direct influence on the pricing of the works. Different design units on the same project design are different. the same item of different design institute works between certain aspects of the project cost on the existence of differences between,We assume that with a design from two different design institute to design,Construction plans after the completion of a requested advisory unit cost to do the budget,certainly different design institute the total cost of the project is absolutely not the same,and most of the difference between the two over 10% even more than30%,and not necessarily high cost than the design of low cost,and good design is often low cost,We all know that different people have different design styles and different levels,the design works naturally,therefore chosen to design units is the control on the first step. Through tender to select the design of the units is a good method,the tender documents to elaborate on this particular aspect of the requirements,cost control targets,and so on.Otherwise,in the subsequent design process design units will put an increase in the cost of the design requirements; through tendering the project design into the market,compared to select the best design units.Promoting the design bidding and design optimization campaign mode design units assessed by experts using scientific group France,in accordance with applicable,economic,aesthetic principles and advanced technology,reasonable structure to meet building energy efficiency and environmental requirements,comprehensive assessment of the merits of the program design,selection of the best determination of the successful program.Successful investment program estimated to be close to the general construction project scope of investment. This means two design contracts will help design the program of choice and competition to ensure that the selected design advanced technology,unique novelty,adaptability,as well as to control the cost of the project. Design units should strive to improve their quality of the project design clever idea,contemporary reducing the project cost on to rack their brains to improve design quality,strive to put the design phase of the project cost control approval of the investment ceiling.Strengthening the design stage of the design phase to strengthen supervision of the Commissioner to determine a reasonable design,maturetechnology,reduction in the construction phase major design changes and changes in the program,in the effective control of the project cost will play a role. 1 to the design of the project if the project supervision to get involved,excluding unfavorable factors may generally is excluded from the 80% errors. In the entire process of building cost control,construction began at best to save and invest 20%,the key lies in the construction phase of the identification and control costs. Supervision of the design phase include : Design Institute under the design drawings and notes help owners deal with different design options for the economy,capital expenditure to develop the preliminary estimates,to ensure that the investment can be most effectively utilized. With the owners of the Commissioner include:According to the Design Institute to provide design drawings and notes to help owners deal with different design options for the economy,capital expenditures to develop the preliminary plan to ensure that investment can be most effectively used; with the owners of different design options,the need to calculate their own materials and equipment to conduct a cost analysis and study,to the design staff costs,to assist them in the investment limit within limits designed to save and invest. To seek a one-time small investment and economic good design program made the most rational economic indicators.Design actively promote the so-called cap limit design,even with the approval of the design task and investment estimates,guarantee the functional requirements of the premise. The preliminary design and control budget,according to the preliminary approval of the total budget for the design and construction design control. Limits,and every one professional,each of whom have a design threshold of a target. In the design process,designers should progress to more programs,design optimization,ensuring that the design is technically advanced and reasonable,innovative,stylish,and do not break the limit investment objectives,thus eliminating theengineering design raise the factor of safety and design standards,or only consider the technical feasibility of the program,rather than economic rationality phenomenon,the project cost to ensure effective control.Also known as the value of value engineering analysis,is a modern scientific management technique,is a new techno-economic analysis,is the product of functional analysis to conserve resources and reduce the cost of the purpose of an effective method. It made up for the traditional cost management simply focus on cost reduction and quality management only emphasizes improving the quality deficiencies,construction is conducive to resolving the long-standing long period,a lot of wastage,poor quality,high-cost problems. Value Engineering laws generally divided into three steps: assessment of the design of object technology and economic Score; Calculation of the target group of technical and economic indicators; calculate the geometric design of the object,on average; From comparison choose the best design.Construction phase of the project implementation unit construction cost management to control the cost of the project is reasonable in the project to meet quality standards premise,in the investment decision-making stage,the design phase and construction phase of the project put the project approval occurred in the control limits,strive in various construction projects rational use of human,material and financial resources to achieve good investment returns and social benefits.The project cost control and management is a dynamic process. The dynamic market economy,to make the investment in the identification and control become more complex,this will require the construction units to the management of project cost to the project runs through the entire process,it is necessary to have a comprehensive focus. The implementation phase of the projects. The implementation phase of the project cost management is theimplementation of the entire process of project management. Project implementation phase of the project cost management can be divided into three parts: the tender management,construction management and settlement management.Bidding for the construction phase of the construction units Bidding system control engineering cost effective means,bid organization can improve the cost-effectiveness of construction projects and ensure the quality of construction projects,shortening the construction cycle return on the investment,construction units can take full advantage of bidding for the effective means of cost control.Construction No. 10 on the 7th ministerial decree issued a "contract with the Construction Contract Pricing Management." clearly pointed out in bidding for projects using inventories. This requires the building of units conducting the tender exercise,in the tender document to include not only the usual content,like tender notes before schedule,tender notes,the conditions of the contract,the contract terms of the agreement,contract format,technical specifications,drawings,tender documents and other reference format,it is also necessary to provide the engineering inventory,Bidding as a reference document of the important components.Construction units in the tender document for the project inventory,in accordance with state or local rules promulgated by the calculation that the reunification of the divided projects,unified measurement units and the reunification of the engineering calculation rules,according to design drawings to be calculated and statistical arranged,obtain the list. Quantities to be followed in the preparation of an objective,impartial,scientific,and rational principle. Compilers must have strong manly budget,and should have certain knowledge of the engineering design and construction experience,and the material and mechanical construction technology forcomprehensive scientific knowledge,in order to calculate the volume of the works without heavy missed. The basis of which must be in accordance with state regulations engineering calculation rules,and the sub-projects division engineering units,and in accordance with design drawings,design essential Love tender documentation requirements are calculated.Quantities of the project should have a testing general,the entries must be simple,while not appear Lousing wrong items Pricing should guarantee the correctness of the project. Should the requirements of the different grades separate engineering division,the situation was different; We may have different prices for the items separately. This requires the preparation of the list compilers,seriously study design drawings,Analysis of the tender documents include the elements of the work and the different technical requirements,all familiar with the process,and to the scene of serious investigation,is forecast to make possible the construction of the case,right will have an impact on the Price of projects to be broken down. In addition,because the project inventories to calculate the amount of the project is not complete engineering and consider the interests of the construction units,clearly paying the price for the same overall price,the quantity list by the number of actual construction is a practical terms.In the evaluation and review of the tender offer should do the units total individual Price quotations and the comprehensive assessment. Price does not meet the requirements of individual shows Price meets the requirements,and the lowest total Price could not explain the single lowest bidder. Bidders often know the total cost to maintain the same circumstances; the project is likely to change smaller projects to lower the price.Changes may be larger projects price increases to achieve the completion of clearing works will be added for the purpose. We would also do price and the corresponding quantity of comprehensive engineeringassessment of the large volume of projects to focus on the price analysis. Price will do with the contents of the work,construction program,a comprehensive technical evaluation process,thereby preferred choice of a construction unit. Construction of the construction phase of the contract cost control basis. Signed tight construction contract,while strengthening the construction contract management can guarantee that the contract price is reasonable,legitimacy and reduce the performance of the contract A,B in disputes and safeguard the interests of both the contract,effective control of the works investment costs.After the signing of the contract,to do the management contract documentation,contract and the supplementary contract agreement until the regular meeting site in minutes. Work contacts such as a single content of a contract extension and explained that the integrity must be preserved,in addition to establishing a technical files,Implementation of the contract for dynamic analysis,results of the analysis to take proactive measures.Construction phase in the construction phase construction plan is based on the budget or Ken works contract price of the target,Ken control the cost of the project. At this stage of conservation has room for a small,but the possibility of waste is great. Thereby to control the cost of the project to give sufficient attention.Construction program to strengthen the comparative technical and economic construction program is construction design of a re - to the contents of the work,a reasonable construction plan,shorten the construction period and ensure the quality of the project,improving economic efficiency,Construction of the program right from the technical and economic evaluation were compared,through qualitative and quantitative analysis,the quality,time,Cost three technical and economic indicators,be rational,and effective use of manpower,material and financial resources,achieve better economic efficiency,good construction management relations,a comprehensive cost management is an important way.Strictly related changes to the project budget control in the proposed budget. Construction of the changes caused by many reasons,including works poorly designed,so that the engineering contract with the drawings provided inconsistent; The current market supply of materials does not meet the standard specifications of the design requirements. These issues have to leave breadwinner project cost factors. Therefore,in the construction process,we must tighten customs change,through no design changes to expand the scale and improve the design standards; increase the construction and contents,the best implementation of the "grade control,visa quota" system. Right to change the design,particularly as it relates to the cost of the design changes must be approved by the design units,construction units scene representatives,supervision engineers common signature,and should be ahead of this type of change,reduce losses,because it has been completed or partially completed project will entail the demolition of the contents,it is bound to cause major changes to the loss. Therefore,the construction units should be assigned to the project cost management professionals Permanent construction site,to grasp at any time. Control project cost of the changes.Works on the scene visa formalities through strict control of the construction project supervision system,the establishment of specialized departments,Professional use of the professional management of projects and to avoid project management personnel just visas,not economic account of the phenomenon. Investment out of control caused serious consequences. To serious change visa procedures to be taken to the building,Supervisor,the construction site together representatives signed the way toensure that change,visa authenticity,legitimacy,economic and avoid fraud and the resulting phenomena arising from the dispute.In the course of construction,the construction units to enhance on-site construction management,supervision and construction side according to the drawings,and strictly control the change of the negotiations,materials substitution,the scene visas,and various additional extra budgetary labor costs for the necessary changes should be done first afterwards,after money,Change event on the timely change in the calculation of the workload and the cost of change occurred to grasp at any time cost of the project level,things to avoid a backlog of work that the true cost of the project.Construction unit representatives to the scene to supervise doing a good job record,particularly concealed records and visas,reduce clearing the passing phenomenon. Many works visa scene is not as serious,works to bring a very large settlement of the trouble,lead to considerable economic losses,the scene strict visa management of the construction phase of the project cost control key.Of project list rigorous review of the project on the review of inventories,Engineers’ monitor list of measures to control the project. BOQ to provide the list of measures is to complete construction projects,occurred in the pre-construction engineering and construction process technology,life and safety aspects of non-engineering projects entities. At this stage because many projects are in construction plans and the construction site of the imperfections on the tender wait until the construction tender of the project design and actual scene have better access. Management Engineer addresses the gathering first-hand information on the original,itemized checking identification,inconsistent make revisions.Control material consumption,rationally define material prices. Cost of the project control materials price control is the main,the cost of materials in engineering often holds substantial proportion,usually accounts for the estimated costs of 70%,representing the direct costs of 80%. It is necessary in the construction phase in strict accordance with the contract amount of material control; material set reasonable prices,so as to effectively control the cost of the project. Market economy material supply a variety of channels,variety and price range materials,construction unit budget management and field personnel should pay close attention to market rates,with the progress of the scene,the market,hand in the construction of the information and materials for the completion of the accounts provide a strong basis.Technology and economic integration,strengthening investment control. Effective control of the investment,from organizational,technical,economic,contracts,and other measures. Therefore,the construction units must strengthen management,engineering and technical personnel of the "economy" concept,the quality of education,Training pragmatic working style,the construction side to help improve construction design,reasonable security,financial,and material resources. Accelerate the pace of work to improve the quality of the projects. Construction should encounter problems in a timely manner with the designer linked to choose both economic and scientific potential solutions,overcome the waste caused by command,to give due attention to the importance of investment in conservation,is responsible for the engineering technician with the combination of economic officers from the tender,contract negotiations,costing the budget,signed paid to the progress of the completion of the accounts,a cost analysis,the whole process management and strictly control the cost of the project.。

中英文对照翻译Risk Analysis of the International Construction ProjectABSTRACTThis analysis used a case study methodology to analyse the issues surrounding the partial collapse of the roof of a building housing the headquarters of the Standards Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ). In particular, it examined the prior roles played by the team of construction professionals. The analysis revealed that the SAZ‟s traditional construction project was generally characterized by high risk. There was a clear indication of the failure of a contractor and architects in preventing and/or mitigating potential construction problems as alleged by the plaintiff. It was reasonable to conclude that between them the defects should have been detected earlier and rectified in good time before the partial roof failure. It appeared justified for the plaintiff to have brought a negligence claim against both the contractor and the architects. The risk analysis facilitated, through its multi-dimensional approach to a critical examination of a construction problem, the identification of an effective risk management strategy for future construction projects. It further served to emphasize the point that clients are becoming more demanding, more discerning, and less willing to accept risk without recompense. Clients do not want surprise, and are more likely to engage in litigation when things go wrong.KEY WORDS:Arbitration, claims, construction, contracts, litigation, project and risk The structural design of the reinforced concrete elements was done by consulting engineers Knight Piesold (KP). Quantity surveying services were provided by Hawkins, Leshnick & Bath (HLB). The contract was awarded to Central African Building Corporation (CABCO) who was also responsible for the provision of a specialist roof structure using patented “gang nail” roof trusses. The building construction proceeded to completion and was handed over to the owners on Sept. 12, 1991. The SAZ took effective occupation of the headquarters building without a certificate of occupation. Also, the defects liability period was only three months .The roof structure was in place 10 years before partial failure in December 1999. The building insurance coverage did not cover enough, the City of Harare, a government municipality, issued the certificate of occupation 10 years after occupation, and after partial collapse of the roof .At first the SAZ decided to go to arbitration, but this failed to yield an immediate solution. The SAZ then decided to proceed to litigate in court and to bring a negligence claim against CABCO. The preparation for arbitration was reused for litigation. The SAZ‟s quantified losses stood at approximately $ 6 million in Zimbabwe dollars (US $1.2m) .After all parties had examined the facts and evidence before them, it became clear that there was a great probability that the courts might rule that both the architects and the contractor were liable. It was at this stage that the defendants‟ lawyers requested that the matter be settled out of court. The plaintiff agreed to this suggestion, with the terms of the settlement kept confidential .The aim of this critical analysis was to analyse the issues surrounding the partial collapse of the roof of the building housing the HQ of Standard Association of Zimbabwe. It examined the prior roles played by the project management function and construction professionals in preventing/mitigating potential construction problems. It further assessed the extent to which the employer/client and parties to a construction contract are able to recover damages under that contract. The main objective of this critical analysis was to identify an effective risk management strategy for future construction projects. The importance of this study is its multidimensional examination approach.Experience suggests that participants in a project are well able to identify risks based on their own experience. The adoption of a risk management approach, based solely in past experience and dependant on judgement, may work reasonably well in a stable low risk environment. It is unlikely to be effective where there is a change. This is because change requires the extrapolation of past experience, which could be misleading. All construction projects are prototypes to some extent and imply change. Change in the construction industry itself suggests that past experience is unlikely tobe sufficient on its own. A structured approach is required. Such a structure can not and must not replace the experience and expertise of the participant. Rather, it brings additional benefits that assist to clarify objectives, identify the nature of the uncertainties, introduces effective communication systems, improves decision-making, introduces effective risk control measures, protects the project objectives and provides knowledge of the risk history .Construction professionals need to know how to balance the contingencies of risk with their specific contractual, financial, operational and organizational requirements. Many construction professionals look at risks in dividually with a myopic lens and do not realize the potential impact that other associated risks may have on their business operations. Using a holistic risk management approach will enable a firm to identify all of the organization‟s business risks. This will increas e the probability of risk mitigation, with the ultimate goal of total risk elimination .Recommended key construction and risk management strategies for future construction projects have been considered and their explanation follows. J.W. Hinchey stated th at there is and can be no …best practice‟ standard for risk allocation on a high-profile project or for that matter, any project. He said, instead, successful risk management is a mind-set and a process. According to Hinchey, the ideal mind-set is for the parties and their representatives to, first, be intentional about identifying project risks and then to proceed to develop a systematic and comprehensive process for avoiding, mitigating, managing and finally allocating, by contract, those risks in optimum ways for the particular project. This process is said to necessarily begin as a science and ends as an art .According to D. Atkinson, whether contractor, consultant or promoter, the right team needs to be assembled with the relevant multi-disciplinary experience of that particular type of project and its location. This is said to be necessary not only to allow alternative responses to be explored. But also to ensure that the right questions are asked and the major risks identified. Heads of sources of risk are said to be a convenient way of providing a structure for identifying risks to completion of a participant‟s part of the project. Effective risk management is said to require amulti-disciplinary approach. Inevitably risk management requires examination of engineering, legal and insurance related solutions .It is stated that the use of analytical techniques based on a statistical approach could be of enormous use in decision making . Many of these techniques are said to be relevant to estimation of the consequences of risk events, and not how allocation of risk is to be achieved. In addition, at the present stage of the development of risk management, Atkinson states that it must be recognized that major decisions will be made that can not be based solely on mathematical analysis. The complexity of construction projects means that the project definition in terms of both physical form and organizational structure will be based on consideration of only a relatively small number of risks . This is said to then allow a general structured approach that can be applied to any construction project to increase the awareness of participants .The new, simplified Construction Design and Management Regulations (CDM Regulations) which came in to force in the UK in April 2007, revised and brought together the existing CDM 1994 and the Construction Health Safety and Welfare (CHSW) Regulations 1996, into a single regulatory package.The new CDM regulations offer an opportunity for a step change in health and safety performance and are used to reemphasize the health, safety and broader business benefits of a well-managed and co-ordinated approach to the management of health and safety in construction. I believe that the development of these skills is imperative to provide the client with the most effective services available, delivering the best value project possible.Construction Management at Risk (CM at Risk), similar to established private sector methods of construction contracting, is gaining popularity in the public sector. It is a process that allows a client to select a construction manager (CM) based on qualifications; make the CM a member of a collaborative project team; centralize responsibility for construction under a single contract; obtain a bonded guaranteed maximum price; produce a more manageable, predictable project; save time and money; and reduce risk for the client, the architect and the CM.CM at Risk, a more professional approach to construction, is taking its place along with design-build, bridging and the more traditional process of design-bid-build as an established method of project delivery.The AE can review the CM‟s approach to the work, making helpful recommendations. The CM is allowed to take bids or proposals from subcontractors during completion of contract documents, prior to the guaranteed maximum price (GMP), which reduces the CM‟s risk and provides useful input to design. The procedure is more methodical, manageable, predictable and less risky for all.The procurement of construction is also more business-like. Each trade contractor has a fair shot at being the low bidder without fear of bid shopping. Each must deliver the best to get the projec. Competition in the community is more equitable: all subcontractors have a fair shot at the work .A contingency within the GMP covers unexpected but justifiable costs, and a contingency above the GMP allows for client changes. As long as the subcontractors are within the GMP they are reimbursed to the CM, so the CM represents the client in negotiating inevitable changes with subcontractors.There can be similar problems where each party in a project is separately insured. For this reason a move towards project insurance is recommended. The traditional approach reinforces adversarial attitudes, and even provides incentives for people to overlook or conceal risks in an attempt to avoid or transfer responsibility.A contingency within the GMP covers unexpected but justifiable costs, and a contingency above the GMP allows for client changes.

It did appearjustified for the plaintiff to have brought a negligence claim against both the contractor and the architects.In many projects clients do not understand the importance of their role in facilitating cooperation and coordination; the design is prepared without discussion between designers, manufacturers, suppliers and contractors. This means that the designer can not ta ke advantage of suppliers‟ or contractors‟ knowledge of build ability or maintenance requirements and the impact these have on sustainability, the total cost of ownership or health and safety .This risk analysis was able to facilitate, through its multi-dimensional approach to a critical examination of a construction problem, the identification of an effective risk management strategy for future construction projects. This work also served to emphasize the point that clients are becoming more demanding, more discerning, and less willing to accept risk without recompense. They do not want surprises, and are more likely to engage in litigation when things go wrong.国际建设工程风险分析摘要此次分析用实例研究方法分析津巴布韦标准协会总部(SAZ)的屋顶部分坍塌的问题。

外文文献:Project Cost Control: The Way it WorksBy R. Max WidemanIn a recent consulting assignment we realized that there was some lack of understanding of the whole system of project cost control, how it is setup and applied. So we decided to write up a description of how it works. Project cost control is not that difficult to follow in theory.First you establish a set of reference baselines. Then, as work progresses, you monitor the work, analyze the findings, forecast the end results and compare those with the reference baselines. If the end results are not satisfactory then you make adjustments as necessary to the work in progress, and repeat the cycle at suitable intervals. If the end results get really out of line with the baseline plan, you may have to change the plan. More likely, there will be (or have been) scope changes that change the reference baselines which means that every time that happens you have to change the baseline plan anyway.But project cost control is a lot more difficult to do in practice, as is evidenced by the number of projects that fail to contain costs. It also involves a significant amount of work, as we shall see, and we might as well start at the beginning. So let us follow the thread of project cost control through the entire project life span.And, while we are at it, we will take the opportunity to point out the proper places for several significant documents. These include theBusiness Case, the Request for (a capital) Appropriation (for execution), Work Packages and the Work Breakdown Structure, the Project Charter (or Brief), the Project Budget or Cost Plan, Earned Value and the Cost Baseline. All of these contribute to the organization's ability to effectively control project costs.FootnoteI am indebted to my friend Quentin Fleming, the guru of Earned Value, for checking and correcting my work on this topic.The Business Case and Application for (execution) FundingIt is important to note that project cost control is most effective when the executive management responsible has a good understanding of how projects should unfold through the project life span. This means that they exercise their responsibilities at the key decision points between the major phases. They must also recognize the importance of project risk management for identifying and planning to head off at least the most obvious potential risk events.In the project's Concept Phase• EvEry projEct starts with somEonE idEntifying an opportunity or need. That is usually someone of importance or influence, if the project is to proceed, and that person often becomes the project's sponsor.• to dEtErminE thE suitability of thE potEntial projEct, most organizations call for the preparation of a "Business Case" and its"Order of Magnitude" cost to justify the value of the project so that it can be compared with all the other competing projects. This effort is conducted in the Concept Phase of the project and is done as a part of the organization's management of the entire project portfolio.• thE cost of thE work of preparing the Business Case is usually covered by corporate management overhead, but it may be carried forward as an accounting cost to the eventual project. No doubt because this will provide a tax benefit to the organization. The problem is, how do you then account for all the projects that are not so carried forward?• if thE businEss casE has sufficiEnt mErit, approval will bE givEn to proceed to a Development and Definition phase.In the project's Development or Definition Phase• thE objEctivE of t he Development Phase is to establish a good understanding of the work involved to produce the required product, estimate the cost and seek capital funding for the actual execution of the project.• in a formalizEd sEtting, EspEcially whErE big projEcts arE involved, this application for funding is often referred to as a Request for (a capital) Appropriation (RFA) or Capital Appropriation Request (CAR).• this rEquirEs thE collEction of morE dEtailEd rEquirEmEnts and data to establish what work needsto be done to produce the required product or "deliverable". From this information, a plan is prepared in sufficient detail to give adequate confidence in a dollar figure to be included in the request.• in a lEss formalizEd sEtting, EvEryonE just triEs to muddlE through.Work Packages and the WBSThe Project Management Plan, Project Brief or Project Charter• if thE dElivErablE consists of a numbEr of diffErEnt ElEmEnts, thEsE are identified and assembled into Work Packages (WPs) and presented in the form of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).• Each wp involvEs a sEt of activitiEs, thE "work" that is plannEd and scheduled as a part of the Project Management Plan. Note, however, that the planning will still be at a relatively high level,and more detailed planning will be necessary during execution if the project is given the go ahead.• this projEct managEmEnt plan, by thE way, should bEcomE thE "bible" for the execution phase of the project and is sometimes referred to as the "Project Brief" or the "Project Charter".• thE cost of doing thE various activitiEs is thEn EstimatEd and thEsE estimated costs are aggregated to determine the estimated cost of the WP. This approach is known as "detailed estimating" or "bottom up estimating". There are other approaches to estimating that we'll come to in a minute. Either way, the result is an estimated cost of the totalwork of the project.Note: that project risk management planning is an important part of this exercise. This should examine the project's assumptions and environmental conditions to identify any weaknesses in the plan thus far, and identify those potential risk events that warrant attention for mitigation. This might take the form of specific contingency planning, and/or the setting aside of prudent funding reserves.Request for capitalConverting the estimate• howEvEr, an EstimatE of thE work alonE is not sufficiEnt for a capital request. To arrive at a capital request some conversion is necessary, for example, by adding prudent allowances such as overheads, a contingency allowance to cover normal project risks and management reserves to cover unknowns and possible scope changes.• in addition, it may bE nEcEssary to convErt thE Estimating data into a financial accounting formatthat satisfies the corporate or sponsor's format for purposes of comparison with other projects and consequent funding approval.• in practicE all thE data for thE typE of "bottom up" approach just described may not be available.In this case alternative estimating approaches are adopted that provide various degrees of reliability in a "top down" fashion. Forexample:Order of Magnitude estimate – a "ball park" estimate, usually reserved for the concept phase onlyAnalogous estimate – an estimate based on previous similar projects Parametric estimate –an estimate based on statistical relationships in historical data• whichEvEr approach is adoptEd, hopEfully thE sum thus arrivEd at will be approved in full and proves to be satisfactory! This is the trigger to start the Execution Phase of the projectNote: Some managements will approve some lesser sum in the mistaken belief that this will help everyone to "sharpen their pencils" and "work smarter" for the benefit of the organization. This is a mistaken belief because management has failed to understand the nature of uncertainty and risk in project work. Consequently, the effect is more likely to result in "corner cutting" with an adverse effect on product quality, or reduced product scope or functionality. This often leads to a "game" in which estimates are inflated so that management can adjust them downwards. But to be fair, management is also well aware that if money is over allocated, it will get spent anyway. The smart thing for managements to do is to set aside contingent reserve funds, varying with the riskiness of the project, and keep that money under careful control.Ownership of approved capital• if sEnior managEmEnt approvEs thE rfa as prEsEntEd, thE sum in question becomes the responsibility of the designated project sponsor. However, if the approved capital request includes allowances such as a "Management Reserve", this may or may not be passed on to the project's sponsor, depending on the policies of the organization.• for thE approvEd rfa, thE projEct sponsor will, in turn, further delegate expenditure authority to the project's project manager and will likely not include any of the allowances. An exception might be the contingency allowances to cover the normal variations in work performance.• thE nEt sum thus arrivEd at constitutes the project manager's Approved Project Budget.Note: If management does not approve the RFA, you should not consider this a project failure. Either the goals, objectives, justification and planning need rethinking to increase the value of the project's deliverables, or senior management simply has higher priorities elsewhere for the available resources and funding.The Project's Execution PhaseThe project manager's Project Budget responsibility• oncE this approvEd projEct budgEt is rElEas ed to the project manager, a reverse process must take place to convert it into a working control document. That is, the money available must be divided amongstthe various WBS WPs that, by the way, have probably by now been upgraded! This results in a project execution Control Budget or Project Baseline Budget, or simply, the Project Budget. In some areas of project management application it is referred to as a Project Cost Plan.• on a largE projEct whErE diffErEnt corporatE production divisions are involved, there may be a further intermediate step of creating "Control Accounts" for the separate divisions, so that each division subdivides their allocated money into their own WBS WPs.• obsErvE that, sincE thE total projEct budgEt rEcEivEd formal approval from Executive Management, you, as project manager, must likewise seek and obtain from Executive Management, via the project's sponsor, formal approval for any changes to the total project budget. Often this is only justified and accepted on the basis of a requested Product Scope Change.• in such a casE thE projEct's sponsor will EithEr draw down on thE management reserve in his or her possession, or submit a supplementary RFA to upper management.• now that wE havE thE projEct budgEt monEy allocatEd to Work Packages we can further distribute it amongst the various activities of each WP so that we know how much money we have as a "Baseline" cost for each activity.• this providEs us with thE basE of rEfErEncE for thE cost controlfunction. Of course, depending on the circumstances the same thing may be done at the WP level but the ability to control is then at a higher and coarser level.Use of the Earned Value technique• if wE havE thE nEcEssary dEtails anothEr control tool that wE can adopt for monitoring ongoing work is the "Earned Value" (EV) technique. This is a considerable art and science that you must learn about from texts dedicated to the subject.• but EssEntially, you takE thE costs of thE schEdulE activitiEs and plot them as a cumulative total on the appropriate time base. Again you can do this at the activity level, WP level or the whole project level. The lower the level the more control information you have available but the more work you get involved in.The Cost Baseline• this plannEd reference S-curve is sometimes referred to as the "Cost Baseline", typically in EVparlance. That is, it is the "Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled" (BCWS), or more simply the "Planned Value" (PV).• Observe that you need to modify this Cost Baseline every time there is an approved scope change that has cost and/or schedule implications and consequently changes the project's Approved Project Budget.• now, as thE work progrEssEs, you can plot thE "actual cost of workPerformed" (ACWP or simply "Actual Cost" - AC).• you can plot othEr things as wEll, sEE diagram rEfErrEd to abovE, and if you don't like what you see then you need to take "Corrective Action".CommentaryThis whole process is a cyclic, situational operation and is probably the source of the term "cycle" in the popularly misnamed "project life cycle".As an aside, the Earned Value pundits offer various other techniques within the EV process designed to aid in forecasting the final result, that is, the "Estimate At Completion" (EAC). EAC is what you should really be interested in because it is the only constant in a moving project. Therefore, these extended EV techniques must be considered in the same realm of accuracy as top-down estimating. They are useful, but only if you recognize the limitations and know what you are doing!But, as we said at the beginning, it is a lot more difficult to do in practice –and involves a significant amount of work. But, let's face it, that's what project managers are hired for, right?中文译文:项目成本控制:它的工作方式R.马克斯怀德曼我们在最近的咨询任务中意识到,对于整个项目成本控制体系是如何设置和应用的这个问题,我们仍有一些缺乏了解。

the stage of the project cost managementAbstract:Project cost management is the basic contents to determine reasonable and effective control of the project cost. Described the current stage of the project cost management situation on the strengthening of the various stages of construction cost management of the importance of and raised a number of key initiatives.Keywords:project cost;the current stage of the project;project cost management;Even under the WTO and China's accession to the world community,China's construction industry how to effectively control construction cost of the construction and management of an important component part. However,the current budget for the construction projects - estimate,budget,Super budget accounts for the "super three" is still widespread and that eventually led to a serious loss of control of project investment. Project cost management is the basic contents to determine reasonable and effective control of the project cost.As the project cost to the project runs through the entire process,stage by stage can be divided into Investment Decision stage,the design and implementation phases. The so-called Project Cost effective control is the optimization of the construction plans and design programs on the basis of in the building process at all stages,use of certain methods and measures to reduce the cost of the projects have a reasonable control on the scope and cost of the approved limits.Engineering and cost management work of the current status of project cost management system was formed in the 1950s,1980s perfect together. Performance of the country and directly involved in the management of economic activities. Provisions in the design stage to different estimates or budget preparation as well as government; Nothing relevant departments to formulate a budget,content,methods and approval,the budget will provide the fixed cost of equipment and materials and fixed price of the budget preparation,approval,management authority,and so on.With the historical process,after recovery,reform and development,formed a relatively complete budget estimate of quota management system. However,as the socialist market economic development,the system's many problems have also exposed. Generally speaking,the budget estimate is based on direct participation in the management of national economic activity as a precondition. Enterprise is not the actual economic entities. Due to the characteristics of the planned economy,and,at the time under the conditions of productivity,will inevitably become a shortage in the economy.In severe shortage of commodities under the conditions,as long as a certain level of investment,will be certain outputs. In this environment,the project planning and technical argumentation there can be no economic analysis. State control of the project cost constitute key factors equipment and materials prices,wages and taxes of artificial distribution. In this relatively stable economic environment,the budget estimate for the system approved project cost,help the government to carry out investment plans to play a major role.As the socialist market economic system established,requires us to predict project investment and control. In recent years,international investment project developed to the requirements of prior pre-control and in the middle of control. China,the traditional practice in an objective light onthe cause decision-making,implementation heavy,light the economy and technology,First,the consequences of victimization,Due to the technical personnel of the project technical and economic concepts and a weak awareness of cost control,cost management makes the quality difficult to raise. Project Cost control is difficult to achieve long-term goals.Second,the various stages of the project management view of the above circumstances,My first academia in the 1980s made the whole process of cost management and control concept,building departments will study the feasibility of projects and the budgets and final accounts to two extended at the request of the corresponding regulations put our cost management concepts and methods referred to a new height.Our task now is to be modern and cost management in line with China's national conditions of the market economy system goal,learn from the advanced experience of the developed countries,and establish sound market economic laws of project cost management system,efforts to increase the project cost levels. An investment decision-making phase of the project cost management construction project investment decision-making stage is proposed project proposals; conduct a feasibility study to determine investment estimation and the final preparation of design task. At this stage,the project's technical and economic decision-making,of the construction project cost of the project after the completion of the economic benefits have a decisive influence,The construction cost is an important stage control.China's current stage of the project cost for the project management for the purpose of clearing price,and focusing only on the construction process of cost control,neglected before the start of the project investment decision-making stage of cost control. Investment decision-making phase of investment projects is estimated an important basis for decision-making. Ithas a direct impact on national economic and financial analysis of the results of the reliability and accuracy. Because of this phase is the preliminary work of projects,the information cannot be fully,comparable works more or less that information accumulated relatively small,estimated inadequate and unscientific. Makes project cost management and cost workers is difficult at this stage do something.The various stages of the project cost control in the decision-making phase project cost control. Right project planning phase of the cost,many owners have the wrong understanding that the lower the cost the better. Cost control is not a unilateral issue,and should be a number of factors,a combination of practical,comprehensive consideration. The construction project investment decision-making stage,the project's technical and economic decision-making,Cost of the project after the completion of the project and the economic benefits,with a decisive role in project cost control is an important stage,rationally define and control the direction of the project cost of accurate positioning and building Optimization guiding role.In the decision-making phase of the most important is to do a good job feasibility study,the work is done well,returns on investment and can form a good proportion. Otherwise,invest more,less effective,resulting in loss of control and waste of investment.At present,some of the projects planned the owners of departure from the subjective desires of a feasibility study on the lack of scientific proof. Feasibility Study untrue,false or engineering functions obtaining the approval of their superiors,actually put into the feasibility study will be awarded in the study for the project after the smooth functioning buried a lot of hidden problems,lead to insufficient follow-up funds for the project andhad to extend the time limit so that the project could not have planned the use of cost-effective,even become hopeless completion of the beard works.Therefore,in order to phase in the investment decision-making effectively control construction costs,we must do the following aspects: Implementationof the construction project and corporate accountability,Construction of the project from planning to implementation of the entire process and the use of the funds to repay responsibilities to the people. in addition to establishing a legal system and the project supervision matching mechanism by the departments in charge of the industry and supervision departments for setting up a monitoring group to oversee the use of funds.A realistic approach to market analysis,to avoid the blindness of the project decision-making,reduces and reduces investment risk. Fully consider building projects in the future market competitiveness,design task more scientific and reliability.Capital financing must have a formal commitment document,the parties must do investment funds in place,and funds must have documents to ensure that the project can be approved after the scheduled implementation. To the various loan conditions should be carefully analyzed to minimize the burden of interest and repayment pressure.To strengthen the engineering geology,hydrology,geology and land,water,electricity,transport,environmental projects such as external conditions for the work of depth to make the investment estimate there are sufficient grounds.Taking extensive investigation and research,comparison of similar projects,seriously functional analysis,multi-program comparison and choice. After full technical appraisal and economic evaluation,and the final technologically advanced,functional and reliable. Reasonable economic projects,thus calculate a more accurate and realistic estimation of theamount of investment,so that the project cost from the start positioning in a more reasonable level.The design phase of the project cost control for a long time,China's building control very effective,- investment projects is not uncommon,this will affect owners of investment returns,it adds to the owners and within budget,as well as difficulties in fund owners,the impact on the future management or the owners make payments in arrears,and so on. Hence,the control of the project cost is of great significance,however the project cost is the primary means of control design,Currently most of the property owners in the design stage seldom works on cost control,and they found that the cost of the design will not have a great impact,it is wrong,on the contrary,Design phase of the project cost control is the most important step. Because it determines engineering design,construction methods,materials and equipment types,models of the project cost is of critical significance,design optimization phase of the program or minor changes,project cost will have a significant impact,Design phase of the project cost control of the total project cost of 70%. Following is how to control the project from design to create the Law: As the owners must design,the design selected on the quality level is a direct impact on the quality of product design level,and the design quality products in the level of direct influence on the pricing of the works. Different design units on the same project design are different. the same item of different design institute works between certain aspects of the project cost on the existence of differences between,We assume that with a design from two different design institute to design,Construction plans after the completion of a requested advisory unit cost to do the budget,certainly different design institute the total cost of the project is absolutely not the same,and most of the difference between the two over 10% even more than30%,and not necessarily high cost than the design of low cost,and good design is often low cost,We all know that different people have different design styles and different levels,the design works naturally,therefore chosen to design units is the control on the first step. Through tender to select the design of the units is a good method,the tender documents to elaborate on this particular aspect of the requirements,cost control targets,and so on.Otherwise,in the subsequent design process design units will put an increase in the cost of the design requirements; through tendering the project design into the market,compared to select the best design units.Promoting the design bidding and design optimization campaign mode design units assessed by experts using scientific group France,in accordance with applicable,economic,aesthetic principles and advanced technology,reasonable structure to meet building energy efficiency and environmental requirements,comprehensive assessment of the merits of the program design,selection of the best determination of the successful program.Successful investment program estimated to be close to the general construction project scope of investment. This means two design contracts will help design the program of choice and competition to ensure that the selected design advanced technology,unique novelty,adaptability,as well as to control the cost of the project. Design units should strive to improve their quality of the project design clever idea,contemporary reducing the project cost on to rack their brains to improve design quality,strive to put the design phase of the project cost control approval of the investment ceiling.Strengthening the design stage of the design phase to strengthen supervision of the Commissioner to determine a reasonable design,maturetechnology,reduction in the construction phase major design changes and changes in the program,in the effective control of the project cost will play a role. 1 to the design of the project if the project supervision to get involved,excluding unfavorable factors may generally is excluded from the 80% errors. In the entire process of building cost control,construction began at best to save and invest 20%,the key lies in the construction phase of the identification and control costs. Supervision of the design phase include : Design Institute under the design drawings and notes help owners deal with different design options for the economy,capital expenditure to develop the preliminary estimates,to ensure that the investment can be most effectively utilized. With the owners of the Commissioner include:According to the Design Institute to provide design drawings and notes to help owners deal with different design options for the economy,capital expenditures to develop the preliminary plan to ensure that investment can be most effectively used; with the owners of different design options,the need to calculate their own materials and equipment to conduct a cost analysis and study,to the design staff costs,to assist them in the investment limit within limits designed to save and invest. To seek a one-time small investment and economic good design program made the most rational economic indicators.Design actively promote the so-called cap limit design,even with the approval of the design task and investment estimates,guarantee the functional requirements of the premise. The preliminary design and control budget,according to the preliminary approval of the total budget for the design and construction design control. Limits,and every one professional,each of whom have a design threshold of a target. In the design process,designers should progress to more programs,design optimization,ensuring that the design is technically advanced and reasonable,innovative,stylish,and do not break the limit investment objectives,thus eliminating theengineering design raise the factor of safety and design standards,or only consider the technical feasibility of the program,rather than economic rationality phenomenon,the project cost to ensure effective control.Also known as the value of value engineering analysis,is a modern scientific management technique,is a new techno-economic analysis,is the product of functional analysis to conserve resources and reduce the cost of the purpose of an effective method. It made up for the traditional cost management simply focus on cost reduction and quality management only emphasizes improving the quality deficiencies,construction is conducive to resolving the long-standing long period,a lot of wastage,poor quality,high-cost problems. Value Engineering laws generally divided into three steps: assessment of the design of object technology and economic Score; Calculation of the target group of technical and economic indicators; calculate the geometric design of the object,on average; From comparison choose the best design.Construction phase of the project implementation unit construction cost management to control the cost of the project is reasonable in the project to meet quality standards premise,in the investment decision-making stage,the design phase and construction phase of the project put the project approval occurred in the control limits,strive in various construction projects rational use of human,material and financial resources to achieve good investment returns and social benefits.The project cost control and management is a dynamic process. The dynamic market economy,to make the investment in the identification and control become more complex,this will require the construction units to the management of project cost to the project runs through the entire process,it is necessary to have a comprehensive focus. The implementation phase of the projects. The implementation phase of the project cost management is theimplementation of the entire process of project management. Project implementation phase of the project cost management can be divided into three parts: the tender management,construction management and settlement management.Bidding for the construction phase of the construction units Bidding system control engineering cost effective means,bid organization can improve the cost-effectiveness of construction projects and ensure the quality of construction projects,shortening the construction cycle return on the investment,construction units can take full advantage of bidding for the effective means of cost control.Construction No. 10 on the 7th ministerial decree issued a "contract with the Construction Contract Pricing Management." clearly pointed out in bidding for projects using inventories. This requires the building of units conducting the tender exercise,in the tender document to include not only the usual content,like tender notes before schedule,tender notes,the conditions of the contract,the contract terms of the agreement,contract format,technical specifications,drawings,tender documents and other reference format,it is also necessary to provide the engineering inventory,Bidding as a reference document of the important components.Construction units in the tender document for the project inventory,in accordance with state or local rules promulgated by the calculation that the reunification of the divided projects,unified measurement units and the reunification of the engineering calculation rules,according to design drawings to be calculated and statistical arranged,obtain the list. Quantities to be followed in the preparation of an objective,impartial,scientific,and rational principle. Compilers must have strong manly budget,and should have certain knowledge of the engineering design and construction experience,and the material and mechanical construction technology forcomprehensive scientific knowledge,in order to calculate the volume of the works without heavy missed. The basis of which must be in accordance with state regulations engineering calculation rules,and the sub-projects division engineering units,and in accordance with design drawings,design essential Love tender documentation requirements are calculated.Quantities of the project should have a testing general,the entries must be simple,while not appear Lousing wrong items Pricing should guarantee the correctness of the project. Should the requirements of the different grades separate engineering division,the situation was different; We may have different prices for the items separately. This requires the preparation of the list compilers,seriously study design drawings,Analysis of the tender documents include the elements of the work and the different technical requirements,all familiar with the process,and to the scene of serious investigation,is forecast to make possible the construction of the case,right will have an impact on the Price of projects to be broken down. In addition,because the project inventories to calculate the amount of the project is not complete engineering and consider the interests of the construction units,clearly paying the price for the same overall price,the quantity list by the number of actual construction is a practical terms.In the evaluation and review of the tender offer should do the units total individual Price quotations and the comprehensive assessment. Price does not meet the requirements of individual shows Price meets the requirements,and the lowest total Price could not explain the single lowest bidder. Bidders often know the total cost to maintain the same circumstances; the project is likely to change smaller projects to lower the price.Changes may be larger projects price increases to achieve the completion of clearing works will be added for the purpose. We would also do price and the corresponding quantity of comprehensive engineeringassessment of the large volume of projects to focus on the price analysis. Price will do with the contents of the work,construction program,a comprehensive technical evaluation process,thereby preferred choice of a construction unit. Construction of the construction phase of the contract cost control basis. Signed tight construction contract,while strengthening the construction contract management can guarantee that the contract price is reasonable,legitimacy and reduce the performance of the contract A,B in disputes and safeguard the interests of both the contract,effective control of the works investment costs.After the signing of the contract,to do the management contract documentation,contract and the supplementary contract agreement until the regular meeting site in minutes. Work contacts such as a single content of a contract extension and explained that the integrity must be preserved,in addition to establishing a technical files,Implementation of the contract for dynamic analysis,results of the analysis to take proactive measures.Construction phase in the construction phase construction plan is based on the budget or Ken works contract price of the target,Ken control the cost of the project. At this stage of conservation has room for a small,but the possibility of waste is great. Thereby to control the cost of the project to give sufficient attention.Construction program to strengthen the comparative technical and economic construction program is construction design of a re - to the contents of the work,a reasonable construction plan,shorten the construction period and ensure the quality of the project,improving economic efficiency,Construction of the program right from the technical and economic evaluation were compared,through qualitative and quantitative analysis,the quality,time,Cost three technical and economic indicators,be rational,and effective use of manpower,material and financial resources,achieve better economic efficiency,good construction management relations,a comprehensive cost management is an important way.Strictly related changes to the project budget control in the proposed budget. Construction of the changes caused by many reasons,including works poorly designed,so that the engineering contract with the drawings provided inconsistent; The current market supply of materials does not meet the standard specifications of the design requirements. These issues have to leave breadwinner project cost factors. Therefore,in the construction process,we must tighten customs change,through no design changes to expand the scale and improve the design standards; increase the construction and contents,the best implementation of the "grade control,visa quota" system. Right to change the design,particularly as it relates to the cost of the design changes must be approved by the design units,construction units scene representatives,supervision engineers common signature,and should be ahead of this type of change,reduce losses,because it has been completed or partially completed project will entail the demolition of the contents,it is bound to cause major changes to the loss. Therefore,the construction units should be assigned to the project cost management professionals Permanent construction site,to grasp at any time. Control project cost of the changes.Works on the scene visa formalities through strict control of the construction project supervision system,the establishment of specialized departments,Professional use of the professional management of projects and to avoid project management personnel just visas,not economic account of the phenomenon. Investment out of control caused serious consequences. To serious change visa procedures to be taken to the building,Supervisor,the construction site together representatives signed the way toensure that change,visa authenticity,legitimacy,economic and avoid fraud and the resulting phenomena arising from the dispute.In the course of construction,the construction units to enhance on-site construction management,supervision and construction side according to the drawings,and strictly control the change of the negotiations,materials substitution,the scene visas,and various additional extra budgetary labor costs for the necessary changes should be done first afterwards,after money,Change event on the timely change in the calculation of the workload and the cost of change occurred to grasp at any time cost of the project level,things to avoid a backlog of work that the true cost of the project.Construction unit representatives to the scene to supervise doing a good job record,particularly concealed records and visas,reduce clearing the passing phenomenon. Many works visa scene is not as serious,works to bring a very large settlement of the trouble,lead to considerable economic losses,the scene strict visa management of the construction phase of the project cost control key.Of project list rigorous review of the project on the review of inventories,Engineers’ monitor list of measures to control the project. BOQ to provide the list of measures is to complete construction projects,occurred in the pre-construction engineering and construction process technology,life and safety aspects of non-engineering projects entities. At this stage because many projects are in construction plans and the construction site of the imperfections on the tender wait until the construction tender of the project design and actual scene have better access. Management Engineer addresses the gathering first-hand information on the original,itemized checking identification,inconsistent make revisions.Control material consumption,rationally define material prices. Cost of the project control materials price control is the main,the cost of materials in engineering often holds substantial proportion,usually accounts for the estimated costs of 70%,representing the direct costs of 80%. It is necessary in the construction phase in strict accordance with the contract amount of material control; material set reasonable prices,so as to effectively control the cost of the project. Market economy material supply a variety of channels,variety and price range materials,construction unit budget management and field personnel should pay close attention to market rates,with the progress of the scene,the market,hand in the construction of the information and materials for the completion of the accounts provide a strong basis.Technology and economic integration,strengthening investment control. Effective control of the investment,from organizational,technical,economic,contracts,and other measures. Therefore,the construction units must strengthen management,engineering and technical personnel of the "economy" concept,the quality of education,Training pragmatic working style,the construction side to help improve construction design,reasonable security,financial,and material resources. Accelerate the pace of work to improve the quality of the projects. Construction should encounter problems in a timely manner with the designer linked to choose both economic and scientific potential solutions,overcome the waste caused by command,to give due attention to the importance of investment in conservation,is responsible for the engineering technician with the combination of economic officers from the tender,contract negotiations,costing the budget,signed paid to the progress of the completion of the accounts,a cost analysis,the whole process management and strictly control the cost of the project.。

英文文献Engineering cost managementProject cost control emphasis should be transferred to the project construction early days, is transferred to the project decision and design stage. Project cost control in construction projects throughout the entire process, the key lies in the pre construction investment decision-making with design phase, whereas in the investment decision is made, the key lies in designing. According to expert analysis: architectural design, in the preliminary design stage, design stage, construction design stage to the engineering effect were 75% ~ 95%, 35% ~ 75%, 5% ~ 35%; while in the construction phase, through the optimization of construction organization design, construction cost saving the possibility of only 5% to 10%. We should put the focus shifted to the design stage, in order to get twice the result with half the effort.Pay attention to the technical and economic optimization combination. The combination of technology with economy is most effective way to control engineering cost. China engineering fields for a long time did not do this. The lack of technical personnel economy idea, design thought is conservative, the design of the outcome of the economy are not fully reflect. Therefore, we should solve the problem is to improve economic efficiency as the goal, in the construction process, organization, technology and economy organic ground union rises. Through the economic analysis, comparative study and effect evaluation, correct processing of advanced technology and reasonable in economy between the relation of unity of opposites, strive to advanced technology under the conditions of economic rational, reasonable in economy based on advanced technology.Carry out "limitation is designed" method. To be consciously put the application of value engineering to the specific design, actively promote quota design in engineering design contract, by way of bidding. This has been proven in practice is an effective way, it is not only an economic problem, more precisely a technical and economic problems. This "limitation is designed" to effectively control the project cost. In order to make the "limitation is designed" to achieve the desired objectives, should be involved in the design personnel must be experienced skilled economic designer. Their design results must be practical, advanced and reasonable cost. Control of engineering cost on the other hand is the need for comparison, because the outcome is a process of gradual improvement, and not to decide, so the comparison is a measure of its practical, advanced and economical means.Do good project cost control in the process. ( 1) compilation of economic and feasible construction scheme. Before construction, construction enterprises should be combined with the construction drawings and the actual situation at the scene, their mechanical equipment, construction experience, the management level and technical specification acceptance criteria, a set of practical and feasible construction scheme. The construction scheme is engineering implementation of the programme of action. ( 2) to technical personnel, materials, machinery and personnel staff communicationand coordination.

To strengthen engineering cost consulting industry association construction, establish project cost consulting industry self-discipline mechanism, and constantly improve the Engineering Cost Association in engineering cost consulting industry status, to be truly representative of the interests of the majority of the industry practitioners, government and enterprises to become connection link and the bridge. At the same time to strengthen the project cost specialty in higher education and in service education. As a result of project cost management in construction projects and various economic interests are closely related, and the whole social economic activities play a very important role, it requires the cost engineering technical personnel should have different levels of knowledge, in addition to their professional knowledge and have a deep understanding, also deal with the design content, design process, construction technology, project management, economic laws and regulations have a comprehensive understanding of. Therefore, the project cost management, project cost per unit of society groups, has already obtained a cost engineer qualification personnel, in order to carry out plan, has the goal, multiple levels of continuing education and training, to understand and master Chinese bilateral agreements with countries project cost technology, regulations, management system and its development trend, to expand domestic and foreign exchanges, and actively participate in international or regional engineering activities, improve their professional quality, so that the current practitioners in intelligentstructure, theory and working experience three aspects can meet the needs of engineering cost management. Cost engineering professionals need to strengthen their own learning, in addition to the professional knowledge to upgrade, should also work in combination with a broad understanding and master the relevant engineering and technical expertise, educational organizations and industry regulatory bodies constitute a complete education system, so as to the field of engineering senior talent development to create good conditions.中文译文:工程造价与管理工程造价控制重点应转移到项目建设的前期,即转移到项目决策和设计阶段。

IntroductionHospitalbuilding projects, areof keyimportance,and involve significant investment, and usuallytake a long-term developmentperiod. Hospital building projects are alsovery complex due to the complicated requirementsregardinghygiene,safety, special equipments,and handling of alargeamount of data.Thebuilding process isvery dynamic and comprises iterative phasesandintermediate changes.Many actors with shifting agendas, roles and responsibilities are actively i nvolved, suchas: the healthcare institutions, national andlocal governments,project developers,financial institutions,architects,contr actors,advisors, facility managers, and equipment manufacturers andsuppliers. Such building projectsarevery much influenced, by the he althcarepolicy, whichchanges rapidly in response to the medical,societal and technological developments, and variesgreatly between countries (World Health Organization,2000).InTheNetherlands, for example, the way a building projectin the healthcare sector isorganisedis undergoing a major reform due to afundamentalchangein the Dutchhealth policy that wasintroduced in 2008.The rapidly changing context posts a need for abuilding withflexibilityoverits lifecycle.In order toincorporatelife-cycleconsiderationsin the building design,construction technique,andfacility managementstrategy, a multidisciplinary collaboration isrequired. Despite the a ttempt for establishing integrated collaboration, healthcare building projectsstillfaces serious problems in practice, such as:budget overrun, delay,andsub-optimalquality in terms of flexibility,end-user’sdissatisfaction,and energyinefficiency.It isevident that the lack of communication andcoordination between the actorsinvolved in the different phases of abuilding project is amongthe mostimportant reasons behind these problems. The communication between differentstakeholdersbecomescritical, as each stakeholder possesses different setofskills. Asa result,theprocessesfor extraction, interpretation, an dcommunicationof complex design information fromdrawings and documents areoften time-consuming and difficult. Advanced visualisation technologies, like 4Dplanning have tremendous potential to increasethecommunication efficiency andinterpretationability ofthe projectteam members. However, their use asaneffective communication tool is still li mited and not fully explored(Dawood and Sikka, 2008). There are also othe rbarriers in the informationtransfer andintegration,for instance: ma nyexistingICT systems do notsupport theopenness of the data and structure that isprerequisiteforaneffective collaborationbetween different building actorsor disciplines.Buildinginformation modelling (BIM) offersan integratedsolution tothe previously mentionedproblems. Therefore,BIMis increasinglyusedas an ICT support incomplex buildingprojects.An effec tive multidisciplinary collaboration supportedby an optimaluse ofBIM require changing roles ofthe clients, architects,andcontractors;new contractual relationships;andre-organisedcollaborative processes.Unfortunately, therearestill gaps in the practicalknowledge on how to manage thebuilding actors to collaborate effectivelyin their changing roles,and todevelopandutilise BIMasanoptimal ICTsupport ofthe collaboration.This paper presents a general review ofthepractical implications of buildinginformation modelling (BIM) based on literature reviewand case studies. In the next sections, based on literature and recentfindingsfrom European research project InPro,theframework for integrated collaboration and the useof BIM are analysed. Subsequently, throughth eobservation of twoongoingpilotprojects inTheNetherlands,the changing roles ofclients, architects, and contractors through BIM application areinvestigated.Inconclusion, thecritical success factors as wellas the main barriers of a successful integrated collabo ration using BIMare identified.2.Changing roles through integratedcollaboration andlife-cycledesign approachesA hospital building projectinvolves various actors, roles, and knowledge domains.In The Netherlands, thechanging roles of clients, architects, andcontractors inhospitalbuildingprojects are inevitableduethe n ew healthcare policy.Previously under the HealthcareInstitutions Act(WTZi), healthcare institutionswere required to obtain both a licenseandabuilding permit for new construction projects andma jorrenovations. The permit wasissuedbythe Dutch Ministry of Health. The healthcare institutionswere then eligible to receive financialsupport from the government.Since 2008,newlegislation onthe management of hospital building projects and real estatehascome into force.In thisnewlegislation,apermit for hospital buildingp rojectunder the WTZi is nolonger obligatory, nor obtainable(Dutch Ministryof Health, Welfare and Sport, 2008).Thischangeallows more freedom fromthestate-directed policy,and respectively, allocates moreresponsibilities to the healthcareorganisations to deal withthefinancingand managementof their realestate.Thenew policy implies that the healthcare institutions arefully responsible to manage and finance their buildingprojectsandreal estate. Thegovern ment’s support for thecostsofhealthcarefacilitieswill no longerbe given separately, but will be included in thefeefor healthcare services.This means that healthcare institutions must earn back their invest ment on real estate through their services. This new policy intends tostimulate sustainableinnovations in the design,procurement and man agement of healthcare buildings, which will contributetoeffective and efficientprimaryhealthcare services.Thenewstrategy for building projectsand real estate management endorses an integratedcollaboration approach. In order to assure the sustainabilityduringconstruction,use,and maintenance, the end-users, facilit ymanagers, contractors andspecialistcontractorsneedtobe in volved inthe planning and designprocesses. Theimplications of the newstrategyare reflectedin thechanging rolesofthe building actors andinthenewprocurement method.In the traditional procurementmethod, the design, and itsdetails, a redeveloped by the architect,and design engineers. Then,the client (the healthcare institution) sends an application to theMinistry of Hea lth toobtain an approvalonthebuilding permit and the financial su pportfromthe government.Following this, a contractor is selected through a tender processthat emphasisesthe search for the lowest-pricebidder.During the construction period,changes often take place du eto constructabilityproblems ofthe design andnew requirementsfromthe client.Becauseof thehigh level of technical complexity,and moreover,decision-makingcomplexities,the whole processfromin itiationuntil delivery of a hospital building project can take upto ten years time. After the delivery, the healthcare institutionisfully in charge of the operation of thefacilities.Redesigns and changes also take place in the use phase tocope with newfunctionsand developments in themedical world (van ReedtDortland, 2009).The integrated procurement picturesanewcontractual relationship between the parties involvedina building project. Instead ofa relationshipbetween theclient and architectfor design, and theclientandcontractor forconstruction,in an integratedprocurement the clientonly holds a contractual relationshipwith themain partythatis responsible for both design and construction( Joint Contracts Tribunal,2007). Thetraditional borders between tasksand occup ational groupsbecome blurred since architects, consulting firms, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers allstand on thesupply sidein the building process while the client onthedemand side.S uchconfiguration puts the architect, engineer and contractori n a very different positionthat influences not only their roles, but also theirresponsibilities, tasksand communicationwiththe client,the users,the teamandotherstakeholders.The transitionfromtraditional to integrated procurement method requires a shiftofmindset oftheparties on boththedemand and supply s ides. Itis essentialfor the client andcontractortohaveafair and opencollaboration inwhich both canoptimallyuse theircompe tencies.The effectivenessof integrated collaboration is also determinedb ythe client’s capacity and strategy to organizeinnovative tenderingprocedures (Sebastian etal.,2009).A newchallenge emerges in case ofpositioning an architectin a partnership with the contractor instead of withthe client.In caseofthe architectenters apartnership with thecontractor, an important issues is how to ensurethe realisation ofthearchitectural values as wel lasinnovative engineering through an efficient construction process.Inanother case, thearchitect can stand at the client’s side ina strategic advisory role instead of being the designer. Inthis case,thearchitect’s responsibility is translating client’s requirementsandwishes intothearchitectural valuesto beincludedin the designspecification, and evaluating the contractor’s proposal against this. Inany of this new role,the architectholds the responsibilities asstakeholderinterest facil itator, custodian of customervalue and custodian of designmodels.Thetransition from traditional to integrated procurement method also brings consequences inthepayment schemes.In the traditional buildi ng process, the honorariumforthe architect isusually basedon apercentage of the project costs;this may simplymean that themoreexpensivethe building is, the higherthe honorarium will be. Theengineer receives thehonorarium based on the complexityof the design and the intensity of the assignment. A highly complex building, which takes a nu mberofredesigns,is usually favourablefor the engineers in terms ofhonorarium. Atraditionalcontractorusually receives the commission based on thetender to constructthe building at the lowestprice by meetingtheminimum specificationsgiven by the client. Extra workdue to modifications is charged separately to the client. After the delivery, the c ontractoris no longer responsiblefor the long-term use of thebuilding. In the traditionalprocurement method,all risks are placed withthe c lient.In integrated procurement method,thepaymentis based on theachieved buildingperformance;thus, the payment is non-adversarial. Since th earchitect,engineerandcontractor have a widerresponsibilityonthequalityof the design andthe building,thepaymentis linked to ameasurement systemofthe functional and technical performance of thebuilding over a certain period of time.The honorarium becomes an i ncentive toachieve the optimal quality. Ifthe building actors succeed todeliver a higher added-valuethat exceed theminimum client’s requirements, they will receive a bonusinaccordance to the client’s extra g ain. The level of transparencyis also improved. Open book accountingisanexcellentinstrument provided thatthe stakeholders agree onthe i nformation tobeshared and to itslevel of detail(InPro,2009).Nextto the adoption of integrated procurement method,thenewrealestate strategy for hospital building projects addresses aninnovative pro ductdevelopment andlife-cycledesignapproaches. A sustainablebusiness case for the investment and exploitation of hospital buildings relies on dynamic life-cycle managementthat includes considerations and analysis of the market development over time nextto thebuilding life-cycle costs (inv estment/initial cost, operationalcost,andlogisticcost). Compared totheconventional life-cycle costing method, the dynamiclife-cycle management encompasses a shiftfrom focusing onlyonminimizing the costs tofocusingon maximizing thetotal benefit that can be gained. On eof the determiningfactorsfor a successful implementationof dynamiclife-cyclemanagementis thesustainabledesign ofthe building andbuildingcomponents,which meansthatthe design carri es sufficient flexibility to accommodatepossible changes in thelong term (Prins,1992).Designing based on theprinciples of life-cycle managementaffects th erole of thearchitect, as he needs tobe well informed about the usage scenariosand related financial arrangements, the changing social and physicalenvironments, and new technologies. Designneeds tointegrate people activities and businessstrategies overtime. In this context, the architect is required toalign thedesign strategie swiththe organisational, local and global policies on finance, business operations, health and safety, environment, etc.(Sebastianet al., 2009).The combinationof processand productinnovation, and the changingrolesof thebuilding actors can be accommodated by integrated projectdeliv ery or IPD (AIA California Council, 2007).IPD is an approach that integrates people,systems, business structures and practicesinto a process that collaboratively harnesses the talentsandinsights of all participants toreduce waste andoptimizeefficiency throughall phases of design,fabrication andconstruction.IPDprinciplescan be applied toa variety ofcontractualarrangements. IPD teamswill usually include memberswell beyond the basictriad of client, architect,and contractor.At a minimum,though, an IntegratedProject should include a tight collaboration betweenthe client,the architect, and themain contra ctor ultimately responsiblefor construction of the project, from the early designuntil the project handover.The key toa successful IPD isassembl ingateam thatis committedto collaborativeprocesses and iscapable of working togethereffectively. IPD is built on collaboration. As a result, it can only be successful if theparticipantsshareand apply common valuesand goals.3. Changingroles through BIM applicationBuilding information model(BIM) comprisesICT frameworks and toolsthat cansupport the integrated collaboration based onlife-cycle designapproach. BIM is a digitalrepresentation of physical andfunctional characteristics of a facility.As suchitserves as a shared knowledge resourcefor information about afacility forming a reliablebasis for decisions duringits lifecyclefrom inception onward (National Institute of Building Sciences NIBS,2007). BIMfacilitatestime and placeindependent collaborative working. A basicpremise of BIM iscollaboration by different stakeholders at differentphases of the life cycle ofa faci lity toinsert, extract, update or modify information in theBIM to support andreflect the rolesof that stakeholder.BIM in itsultimate form, as ashared digital representation founded on openstandards forinteroperability,can become a virtualinformation model to be h anded from the designteam to thecontractor and subcontractors and t hen to the client (Sebastianet al., 2009).BIMis not the same as the earlier knowncomputer aided design(CAD). BIM goes further than an application to generate digital (2D or3D)drawings (Bratton,2009). BIM is an integrated model inwhich all process and product information is combined,stored,elaborated, and interactively distri buted toall relevant buildingactors.As a central model for allinvolvedactors throughouttheproject lifecycle,BIM develops and evolves as the project progresses.Using BIM,the proposed design andengineering solutionscan be measured against theclient’s requirementsandexpectedbuilding performance.The functionalities of BIMto support thedesign process extend to multidimensional (nD), including: three-dimensional visualisationanddetailing,clash detection,ma terial schedule,planning, cost estimate,production andlogistic information, and as-built documents.During the construction process, BIM can support the communication between thebuildingsite,the factoryand the design office–whichis crucialforan effective and efficient prefabrication and assembly processesas well asto prevent orsolve problems related tounforeseen errors or modifications. When thebuilding is in use, BIMcan beused in combinationwiththe intelligent building systemsto provide and maintain up-to-date informationofthe b uilding performance, includingthelife-cyclecost.To unleashthe full potentialof moreefficientinformation exchan gein the AEC/FM industry in collaborativeworking usingBIM, both highquality openinternational standards andhigh qualityimplementations of these standardsmust bein place. The IFC openstandardisgen erally agreed to be ofhigh quality and is widely implemented in software. Unfortunately,the certificationprocess allows poor qualityimplementations tobecertifiedand essentially renders thecertified softwareuseless for anypractical usage withIFC. IFCcompliant BIMis actuallyused less than manual draftingforarchitectsand contractors, and show about the same usagefor engineers. Arecent survey shows thatCAD(as a closed-system)isstill the major formoftechnique used in design work(over 60percent)while BIM is usedinaround 20 percentofprojectsfor architects andinaround10 per cent ofprojectsfor engineers andcontractors (Kiviniemi et al.,2008).The applicationof BIMto support an optimal cross-disciplinary andcross-phase collaboration opensanewdimension in the roles andrelationships between thebuilding actors. Several most relevantissuesare:the new role ofamodel manager;the agreement on the acc ess right and Intellectual Property Right(IPR);the liability andpayment a rrangementaccording tothetype of contract and in relation tothe integratedprocurement; andtheuse ofopen international standards.Collaborative working using BIM demands a new expert role ofa mod el manager who possesses ICT as well as construction processknow-how (InPro,2009). The model manager dealswith thesystem as wellas withthe actors. He provides and maintains technological solutions required for BIMfunctionalities, managestheinformationflow, andimproves the ICTskills of the stakeholders.The modelmanager doesnot takedecisionsondesign andengineering solutions, nor theorganisational processes, but his roles in the chain ofdecision making are focused on:●thedevelopment ofBIM,thedefinition ofthestructureand detaillevel ofthemodel, and thedeploymentof relevant BIM tools, such as formodels checking,merging, and clash detections;●the contribution tocollaboration methods, especially decision makingand communication protocols, taskplanning, and risk management;●andthe management of information, in terms of data flow andstorage, identification of communicationerrors, anddecision orprocess (re-)tracking.Regarding the legal and organisational issues, oneof the actualquestions is: “In what waydoes the intellectual property right (IPR)in collab orative workingusing BIM differ from the IPR inatraditional teamwork?”. In terms of combined work, the IPRof eachelement isattachedto its creator.Althoughit seemstobe a fully integrat ed design,BIM actuallyresulted from a combinationof works/elements; for instance:the outlineof the building design,is createdby the architect, the design forthe electrical system, is createdby the electricalcontractor, etc.Thus, incaseof BIMasa combined work, the IPR is similarto traditional teamwork.Working withBIM with authorshipregistrationfunctionalitiesmay actually make it easier to keep track o fthe IPR(Chao-Duivis,2009).How does collaborative working,using BIM, effect the contractualrelationship? On the one hand,collaborative working usingBIM does notnecessarily changethe liabilitypositioninthe contract nor does it obligate analliancecontract. The GeneralPrinciples of BIM Addendum con firms: ‘This does not effectuate or require arestructuring of contractual relationships or shiftingof risks between or among the ProjectParti cipants other than as specifically required per the ProtocolAddendum and itsAttachments’(ConsensusDOCS, 2008). On the otherhand, changes interms of paymentschemes can be anticipated. Collaborativeprocesses using BIM willlead to the shifting of activitiesfrom to theearly design phase. Much,if not all,activities inthe detailedengineering and s pecification phasewill be done inthe earlierphases. It means that significant payment forthe engineering phase,whichmay countup to 40per cent ofthe design cost,cannolonger be expected. As engineering work is done concurrently with the design, a new proportionof the payment in the earlydesign phase is necessary(Chao-Duivis, 2009).4.Review ofongoing hospitalbuilding projects using BIM InTheNetherlands,the changing roles inhospital building proj ects are part of thestrategy,which aims at achieving asustainable real estate in responseto the changing healthcare policy.Referring toliterature and previousresearch, the main factors thatinfluencethe success of the changing rolescan be concluded as: the implementat ion ofanintegratedprocurementmethodand a life-cycle design approach for a sustainable collaborative process; the agreementon the BIMstructure and the intellectual rights;and the integration of the role ofa modelmanager. The preceding sections havediscussed the conceptual thinking on how todeal with these factors effectively.This currentsection observes twoactual projectsandcompares the actual practice with the conceptual viewrespectively.Themainissues,which are observed in the case studies,are:●the selectedprocurementmethod and the rolesof the involvedparties within thismethod;●theimplementation of thelife-cycle design approach;●the type,structure, and functionalities of BIM usedinthe project;●the opennessindata sharing and transferof themodel,and the intended useof BIMin thefuture; and●theroles and tasks ofthe model manager.The pilot experienceofhospitalbuilding projects using BIMin the Netherlands can be observed atUniversity Medical Centre St Rad boud (furtherreferred as UMC) and MaximaMedicalCentre (further referred as MMC). At UMC, the new building projectforthe Facultyof Dentistryin the city of Nijmegen has been dedicatedas a BIMpilot project. At MMC,BIM is used in designingnew buildings for Medical Simulat ion and Mother-and-ChildCentre in thecityof Veldhoven.The first case is a projectat theUniversity Medical Centre(UMC) StRadboud. UMC ismore thanjust a hospital. UMC combinesmedicalservices,educationand research. More than8500 staff and3000 students work at UMC. As a partof the innovative real estate strategy, UMC hasconsidered to use BIM forits building projects. The new development ofthe Faculty of Dentistry and the surrounding buildin gs on theKapittelweg in Nijmegen has been chosen as a pilotproject togather practical knowledge and experience oncollaborative processes with BIM support.The mainambition to be achieved through the use ofBIMin the buildingprojects at UMC can be summarised as follows:●using 3D visualisationto enhance thecoordination and communication amongthe buildingactors,and the user participationindesign;●facilitating optimal information accessibility and exchangefor ahigh●consistencyofthedrawingsanddocuments across disciplines and phases;●integrating thearchitectural design withstructural analysis,energy analysis,cost estimation,andplanning;●interactively evaluatingthe designsolutionsagainst the programme of requirementsand specifications;●reducingredesign/remakecosts throughclash detection during thedesign process; and●optimising themanagement ofthe facility through theregistration of medical installations and equipments, fixedandflexible furniture, product andoutput specifications,andoperational data.Thesecond case is a project at the Maxima Medical Centre (MMC).MMC is alargehospital resulted from a mergerbetween the Diaconessenhuis inEindhoven and St JosephHospital in Veldhoven. Annuallythe3,400staffof MMC provides medicalservicesto morethan 450,000 visitorsandpatients. A large-scaled extension project of the hospital inVeldhovenis a part ofits real estate strategy. A medi cal simulation centre and a women-and-childrenmedicalcentre are among the most importantnew facilities withinthis extension project.Th edesign hasbeen developed using3Dmodelling with several functionalitiesofBIM.The findings from both cases andthe analysis are as follows. Both UMC and MMC opted for a traditional procurement method in which th eclient directlycontracted an architect, astructural engineer, andamechanical, electricaland plumbing (MEP)consultant in thedesign team. Oncethe design and detailedspecifications are finished, a tender procedurewill follow to selectacontractor. Despitethe choice forthis traditionalmethod, manyattempts have beenmade for a closera nd more effective multidisciplinary collaboration. UMC dedicated a relativel ylong preparation phase with the architect,structural engineer and MEPconsultant before the designcommenced. This preparation phasewas aimedat creating a common vision on the optimal way for collaboration us ing BIM as anICT support.Some results of this preparation phase ar e:adocument thatdefines the common ambition for the projectandthe collaborativeworking process and a semi-formal agreement that states thecommitment of the building actorsfor collaboration. Other than UMC,MMCselectedan architecture firm with an i n-house engineering department. Thus,the collaboration betweenthe architectand structural engineer can takeplace within the samefir musing thesamesoftware application.Regarding the life-cycle design approach, themainattentionisgiven on life-cycle costs, maintenance needs,and facilitymanagemen t.Using BIM,bothhospitals intend to get a muchbetterinsightin theseaspects over the life-cycle period. The life-cycle sustainab ility criteria are includedin theassignments for the design teams. Multidisciplinarydesignersand engineers are askedto collaborate more closely and to interact with the end-users to address life-cycle requirements. However,ensuring the buildingactors to engageinanintegratedcollaboration togenerate sustainabledesign solutions thatmeet thelife-cycle performanceexpectations is still d ifficult. Theseactorsare contracted through a traditional procurementmethod. Their tasks are specific,their involvement is rather short-term in a certain projectphase,their responsibilities and liabilitiesarelimited,and there is no tangible incentive for integrated collaboration.Fromthe currentprogress ofboth projects, it can be observed that the typeand structureof BIMrelies heavilyon the choice for BIM software applications.RevitArchitecture and RevitStructure by Autodesk。

Itsconvenience, speed, low cost and versatility are being exploited on a daily basis in ever-changing ways. Together with its capacity to transform existing businesses, promote new businesses and facilitate exchange of information and data, its other striking attribute has been the speed with which this new technology has spread throughout the global economy.Keywords:The internet;Real Estate;ApplicatedThe number of computer hosts grew by more than ten-fold between 1995 and early 1999. The number of Web sites increased almost 100-fold, to over two million, between 1995 and 1998.By the year 2000, there will be approximately 400-500 million Internet users in the world, and the total number of Web sites will exceed five million.This new technology has the potential for affecting the real estate industry directly and indirectly. Directly, it may become a tool that allows a real estate business to expand its information and sales network. Indirectly, it may change the location equation where and how firms do business which in turn will affect the role of firms involved in real estate development, investment and transactions.Measuring the Spread of the WebThere are few reliable published statistics on Internet or Web use, and statistics reported by different analysts are often inconsistent. Our discussion of the Web and real estate is based on limited information from surveys and on examination of Web sites rather than on more comprehensive data. We have built our overview of the role of the World Wide Web and real estate by examining a variety of sources(including trade publications, existing Web sites, and our own survey of selected real estate firms)From E-mail to E-commerceBefore the advent of the World Wide Web, the Internet existed mostlyfor the purposes of e-mail, data transfers, newsgroups and bulletin boards, and its reach was limited primarily to the academic and the defense community. The technology itself was not particularly user-friendly, the network speed was not very high, the medium was limited to text and data, and accessing information was cumbersome and time-consuming. The browser technology greatly simplified usage, enabled multimedia information, and created interactive possibilities. The technology brought together TV entertainment, library information, news bulletins, communication and data in one desktop machine.Although initially the greatest patrons of the Internet were the academic community, the commercial sector quickly caught on to the potential of the Web. The private sector saw in the Web an opportunity to widen its marketing reach, lower costs of information dissemination, improve customer relations, and ultimately to conduct sales. Existing private sector Web sites can be roughly categorized into three types, as summarized. The most basic level is for simple information dissemination. The firm registers a Web site and develops a page giving basic company information. The second stage is an expansion of information, marketing goods and services or providing other customer information. The third stage is the addition of transactions to the activities possible on the Web site.Most business sites at present are in Stage 2. The use of the World Wide Web for detailed information dissemination, and marketing has had several advantages. For the firm, marketing, information dissemination and customer services on the Web can be monitored and analyzed with some details unavailable from conventional methods of marketing using other media. Internet tools can now provide a firm with data on who accessed the site, which pages were visited most, heavily, from where and for how long. This information contributes to improved measures of the results of promotionalefforts. The promotional costs associated with the Internet have also been very low. For example, in direct mail marketing, to send a one-page color brochure to 5,000 random addresses will cost upwards of $2,500. The cost of setting up a Web site could be one-tenth of this amount or less (although tracking and analysis can quickly add to the cost)?Many different sectors, including real estate, have found the Internet to be both efficient and cost-effective as a marketing device.The next logical step - a full-fledged office/store on the Web with transaction capability and commerce on the Internet is now being attempted in varying degrees depending on the firm's area of business. Retail sites selling products between $10 and $100, the kind that are traditionally part of a direct mail sales catalog, seem to be the ones having the greatest success(although 4% of sites sell products over $10,000 and another 13% sell products ranging from $100 to$9,999)?A number of retail sites have also harnessed a secondary revenue stream from advertising. Advertising revenues on the Web have crossed the billion-dollar mark and total Internet generated revenue will approach$100 billion this year.Consumers' Use of the WebSurveys of consumers using the Web suggest that a Web site does not substitute for the more traditional forms of business, but can greatly facilitate the run-up to the final transaction. The most common use of the Web is for information searching, closely followed by work-related uses, education, and entertainment. A significant majority of those that use the Web for shopping do so to carry out detailed research on product information(90%)and to do price comparisons(85%). This more often leads to purchases through normal channels(67%). Most of the online purchases tend to be of items that are standardized-four of the five top items bought on the Web, according to survey, are software, books, hardware and music (the fifth is travel). Morethan half of consumers who make purchases on the Web spend less than $500 in a six-month period.The demographics of Web users vary widely in age and income. Surveys by Georgia Tech, Active Media and Web indicate that the average age of Web users is 35 years, with average household income $67,000. Most are college educated (65%). A high proportion of the respondents (42%) has accessed real estate sites.Limits to the Web - Some "Catches" to the New Technology New technology is frequently a mixed blessing, and the World Wide Web is no exception. Apart from the teething troubles that any new technology faces and the time, as well as resources needed to learn, adapt and master it, the Web poses some unique issues and problems of its own. Consumers today are facing information overload of taxing proportions. It is not always easy, or even possible, to locate the relevant information on the Web, despite sophisticated search engines. Once the site is located, fancy graphics, complex linkages, labyrinthine routings, and a lot of irrelevant information may overwhelm the consumer - in short, poor and confusing site design can reduce the site's effectiveness.From the point of view of the business, there are two commonly heard complaints. First, the business may find that its site does not figure prominently on search results, limiting the number of customers reached. Second, for many firms, Web initiated leads are as yet few and far between. Real Estate Web SitesReal Estate firms and related businesses were among the early private sector pioneers of Internet use and have had a fast growing presence on the Web. presence on the Web. One example of the real estate sector's presence on the Internet in its pre-World Wide Web incarnation was the real estate classified bulletin board of Prodigy, the online service, which had listings forhomes and other real estate. A few real estate related Web sites started in 1994 (generally regarded as the inaugural year of the Web). The New York City Real Estate Guide Web site, created in the summer of 1994, was one of the first to offer free access to the latest New York real estate information. By the summer of 1995, the site was receiving more than 100,000 inquiries a month.The real estate industry registered its entry on the Web in a dramatic way in 1995. By the end of that year there were close to 4,000 real estate Web sites. The content matter of the sites, as well as the mix of real estate related firms on the Web have changed over time. Initially, quite a few of the sites were residential real estate brokerages and listing guides, but fairly rapidly the list expanded to include commercial and retail listings, mortgage brokers,appraisers, architects, real estate attorneys, developers, construction firms, and suppliers. As investment vehicles for real estate expanded, REITs, publicly held firms, and investment advisors also added Web sites.The early real estate broker Web sites quickly took advantage of the unique features of the Web. Prospective customers could find out what properties were for sale or rent, look up detailed descriptions of each listing, view photographs and floor plans, and contact the broker by e-mail. Viewers could also look up statistical and data reports on conditions in various geographical areas and on emerging macroeconomic trends.Ever since then, the real estate industry has been among the most enthusiastic users of the Web, by some measures accounting for 4% to 6% of commercial Web sites. A survey conducted by Real Estate Broker's Insider in early 1998 confirmed that nearly 95% of the respondents/brokers had a Web site, and more than 90% of the housing stock on sale at a given time is now listed on the Web. Indeed, because of the dispersed, localized nature of the role of information in real estate, the prospective gains from informationdissemination, comparability, and Web links were particularly significant in real estate.For much of the real estate sector, the Internet generates not so much the actual transactions themselves, but creates initial leads that are later followed by transactions, purchases and sales. Web sites frequently lead to contacts that are then nurtured through telephone and person-to-person meetings. For residential real estate, Web activity includes residential searches, housing details, and pricing information (both on houses and mortgages), with follow-up contact with brokers. Real estate-related transactions are seen in the hospitality industry (making reservations for hotels and vacation homes and in online mortgage applications). Mortgage and home loan finance companies report both inquiries from mortgage shoppers who obtained initial information from their Web sites, as well as closing of loans through the Web, lead to great savings in time and overhead costs.It is not just the real estate professionals who are enthusiastic about their Internet presence, judging it to be as effective as print and radio advertising. Mortgage shoppers, homebuyers and vacation rental seekers as well applaud, in particular, the convenience it brings to the entire process of searching, researching, comparing, communicating and transacting business.Beyond these sectors, many other types of real-estate related firms are using the Web to broaden their market areas, increase the depth of their marketing, and to provide a range of services to existing customers. Commercial brokers provide not only information on available sites but also on market conditions for different locations and sometimes more in-depth economic analysis of a region. REITs and other investment firms provide detailed information on their products as well as background market or economic information. Public companies provide up-to-date stock quotes and quarterly and annual reports on the Web.Web Penetration and Use: The Experience of Leading Real Estate Firms We conducted a limited survey of a sample of leading real-estate related firms in the US and California. Responses from approximately 60 of these firms showed that over four-fifths had Web Sites by March 1999. 2 Of those with Web sites, one-third had inaugurated their sites by the end of 1996. Among the earliest with a Web presence were brokers, investment firms, lenders, business and financial services firms, law firms, residential developers, and a trade organization. Another third of the group were newcomers, with sites inaugurated in 1998 or early 1999. Commercial developers were prominent among this group, with residential developers, consultants and advisors, lenders, REITs and investment firms also among this group. Those without sites were more likely to be privately held firms with a relatively narrow base of activity (for example, a commercial developer centered in the San Francisco Bay Area)?Most with Web sites used their site to provide information about the company and to market services. In addition, about one-third marketed property from their site, providing detailed information on the characteristics of buildings available, surrounding communities, and other related data. Other Web site uses include employee recruiting, providing information for members or investors, and disseminating related information on topics such as regulations or real estate markets.What does the Web specifically do for Real Estate?According to Activemedia, an internet research company, some of the sectors experiencing the greatest growth in terms of their presence on the Web in 1998 were computer hardware and software, real estate, publishing and information, finance and Internet services. A significant initial motivation for this rush for the Web is provided by, what can be termed, the "tiptoe" effect. The first ones on the Web had an additional advantage over those whodid not; information on their services, products, home listings now be accessed conveniently by those with computers. The low setup cost, however, and the potential disadvantage of not having a Web presence has propelled others in the profession to set up their own sites.Real estate shares in some of the basic advantages of the Web mentioned earlier, such as ease of marketing, communication and feedback from clients, lowered costs of operations and convenience of customer service and support. In addition, the Web provides positive features specific to the real estate industry.Key elements include the following.1.Increased geographic reach.The Web has dramatically increased the geographic reach of both buyers and sellers. Although the "local" aspect of real estate will perhaps never be whittled away completely, there is no doubt that inquiries about properties can now emanate from far away to a much greater degree than before. This, in turn, potentially increases the size and "depth" of the market and makes it more efficient.2.Capability of visualization.In some sense, increased geographic reach has become possible due to the other emergent feature of the Web, the capability of visualization. In its most state-of-the-art form, Web sites now allow prospective buyers to take virtual tours of homes, resorts, hotels and convention centers.3.Reduced transaction costs.The Web may reduce transactions costs. This has been particularly apparent in the case of mortgages. According to Fannie Mae, 1.5% of all mortgages were handled online this past year. The Web-attributable features that make this kind of a transaction possible are instantaneous comparability, interactive capability, online calculation, online applications, and continuousupdating of the sites.4.Improved information dissemination.The Web offers broad opportunities for increasing the scope and depth of information provided by many different types of firms. A well constructed home page gives an overview of a firm's range of services or activities. Links allow the customer or client to learn much more detail about the selected items of most interest, while ignoring less relevant pieces of information. A number of sites take advantage of the ability to link to resources beyond the company's Web pages, linking customers and clients to related Web resources.Unlike retail sectors, such as books and computer hardware, the Web as yet has not become a threat to the "middle man" role of many real estate firms. Instead, it is more likely to be used as a means of expanding services offered or locations served. However, in the long term, the Web and related Internet technology have the potential to change the structure of business activity, which in turn will affect the demand for real estate in type if not in quantity. For example, some retailers already have closed stores while expanding sales on the Web. Also, the Internet has been seen as one factor allowing the decentralization of office space. These trends to date have not led to a decline, but rather to a redistribution in the demand for office, retail and warehouse space.These are summarized .Speculation on Potential Impact of Internet on Real Estate Industry.1.Shortening of Transaction Cycle2.Precise Market Targeting3.Transformed Competition4.Cost savings:a)Marketing,b)Sales,c)Operation5.Possibility of Disintermediation;Lowering of Commissionsbination of Comparison Shopping and Direct Sales7.Access to MBS Secondary MarketHow to Find the Real Estate Sector on the WebThere are a few key sites that can be used to access the broad range of real-estate related Web sites.

外文文献:Project Cost Control: The Way it WorksBy R. Max WidemanIn a recent consulting assignment we realized that there was some lack of understanding of the whole system of project cost control, how it is setup and applied. So we decided to write up a description of how it works. Project cost control is not that difficult to follow in theory.First you establish a set of reference baselines. Then, as work progresses, you monitor the work, analyze the findings, forecast the end results and compare those with the reference baselines. If the end results are not satisfactory then you make adjustments as necessary to the work in progress, and repeat the cycle at suitable intervals. If the end results get really out of line with the baseline plan, you may have to change the plan. More likely, there will be (or have been) scope changes that change the reference baselines which means that every time that happens you have to change the baseline plan anyway.But project cost control is a lot more difficult to do in practice, as is evidenced by the number of projects that fail to contain costs. It also involves a significant amount of work, as we shall see, and we might as well start at the beginning. So let us follow the thread of project cost control through the entire project life span.And, while we are at it, we will take the opportunity to point out the proper places for several significant documents. These include the Business Case, the Request for (a capital) Appropriation (for execution), Work Packages and the Work Breakdown Structure, the Project Charter (or Brief), the Project Budget or Cost Plan, Earned Value and the Cost Baseline. All of these contribute to the organization's ability to effectively control project costs.FootnoteI am indebted to my friend Quentin Fleming, the guru of Earned Value, for checking and correcting my work on this topic.The Business Case and Application for (execution) FundingIt is important to note that project cost control is most effective when the executive management responsible has a good understanding of how projects should unfold through the project life span. This means that they exercise their responsibilities at the key decision points between the major phases. They must also recognize the importance of project risk management for identifying and planning to head off at least the most obvious potential risk events.In the project's Concept Phase• Every project starts with someone identifying an opportunity or need. That is usually someone of importance or influence, if the project is to proceed, and that person often becomes the project's sponsor.• To determine the suitability of the potential project, most organizations call for the preparation of a "Business Case" and its "Order of Magnitude" cost to justify the value of the project so that itcan be compared with all the other competing projects. This effort is conducted in the Concept Phase of the project and is done as a part of the organization's management of the entire project portfolio.• The cost of the work of preparing the Business Case is usually covered by corporate management overhead, but it may be carried forward as an accounting cost to the eventual project. No doubt because this will provide a tax benefit to the organization. The problem is, how do you then account for all the projects that are not so carried forward?• If the Business case has sufficient merit, approval will be given to proceed to a Development and Definition phase.In the project's Development or Definition Phase• The objective of the Development Phase is to establish a good understanding of the work involved to produce the required product, estimate the cost and seek capital funding for the actual execution of the project.• In a formalized setting, especially where big projects are involved, this application for funding is often referred to as a Request for (a capital)Appropriation (RFA) or Capital Appropriation Request (CAR).•This requires the collection of more detailed requirements and data to establish what work needsto be done to produce the required product or "deliverable". From this information, a plan is prepared in sufficient detail to give adequate confidence in a dollar figure to be included in the request.• In a less formalized setting, everyone just tries to muddle through.Work Packages and the WBSThe Project Management Plan, Project Brief or Project Charter•If the deliverable consists of a number of different elements, these are identified and assembled into Work Packages (WPs) and presented in the form of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).• Each WP involves a set of activities, the "work" that is planned and scheduled as a part of the Project Management Plan. Note, however, that the planning will still be at a relatively high level,and more detailed planning will be necessary during execution if the project is given the go ahead.• This Project Management Plan, by the way, should become the "bible" for the execution phase of the project and is sometimes referred to as the "Project Brief" or the "Project Charter".• The cost of doing the various activities is then estimated and these estimated costs are aggregated to determine the estimated cost of the WP. This approach is known as "detailed estimating" or "bottom up estimating". There are other approaches to estimating that we'll come to in a minute. Either way, the result is an estimated cost of the total work of the project.Note: that project risk management planning is an important part of this exercise. This should examine the project's assumptions and environmental conditions to identify any weaknesses in the plan thus far, and identify those potential risk events that warrant attention for mitigation. This might take the form of specific contingency planning, and/or the setting aside of prudent funding reserves.Request for capitalConverting the estimate•However, an estimate of the work alone is not sufficient for a capital request. To arrive at a capital request some conversion is necessary, for example, by adding prudent allowances such asoverheads, a contingency allowance to cover normal project risks and management reserves to cover unknowns and possible scope changes.•In addition, it may be necessary to convert the estimating data into a financial accounting formatthat satisfies the corporate or sponsor's format for purposes of comparison with other projects and consequent funding approval.• In practice all the data for the type of "bottom up" approach just described may not be available.In this case alternative estimating approaches are adopted that provide various degrees of reliability in a "top down" fashion. For example:Order of Magnitude estimate – a "ball park" estimate, usually reserved for the concept phase onlyAnalogous estimate – an estimate based on previous similar projectsParametric estimate –an estimate based on statistical relationships in historical data•Whichever approach is adopted, hopefully the sum thus arrived at will be approved in full and proves to be satisfactory! This is the trigger to start the Execution Phase of the projectNote: Some managements will approve some lesser sum in the mistaken belief that this will help everyone to "sharpen their pencils" and "work smarter" for the benefit of the organization. This is a mistaken belief because management has failed to understand the nature of uncertainty and risk in project work. Consequently, the effect is more likely to result in "corner cutting" with an adverse effect on product quality, or reduced product scope or functionality. This often leads to a "game" in which estimates are inflated so that management can adjust themdownwards. But to be fair, management is also well aware that if money is over allocated, it will get spent anyway. The smart thing for managements to do is to set aside contingent reserve funds, varying with the riskiness of the project, and keep that money under careful control.Ownership of approved capital•If senior management approves the RFA as presented, the sum in question becomes the responsibility of the designated project sponsor. However, if the approved capital request includes allowances such as a "Management Reserve", this may or may not be passed on to the project's sponsor, depending on the policies of the organization.• For the approved RFA, the project sponsor will, in turn, further delegate expenditure authority to the project's project manager and will likely not include any of the allowances. An exception might be the contingency allowances to cover the normal variations in work performance.• The net sum thus arrived at constitutes the project manager's Approved Project Budget.Note: If management does not approve the RFA, you should not consider this a project failure. Either the goals, objectives, justification and planning need rethinking to increase the value of the project's deliverables, or senior management simply has higher priorities elsewhere for the available resources and funding.The Project's Execution PhaseThe project manager's Project Budget responsibility•Once this Approved Project Budget is released to the project manager, a reverse process must take place to convert it into a working control document. That is, the money available must be divided amongst the various WBS WPs that, by the way, have probably by now been upgraded! This results in a project execution Control Budget or Project Baseline Budget, or simply, the Project Budget. In some areas of project management application it is referred to as a Project Cost Plan. •On a large project where different corporate production divisions are involved, there may be a further intermediate step of creating "Control Accounts" for theseparate divisions, so that each division subdivides their allocated money into their own WBS WPs.• Observe that, since the total Project Budget received formal approval from Executive Management, you, as project manager, must likewise seek and obtain from Executive Management, via the project's sponsor, formal approval for any changes to the total project budget. Often this is only justified and accepted on the basis of a requested Product Scope Change.• In such a case the project's sponsor will either draw down on the management reserve in his or her possession, or submit a supplementary RFA to upper management. • Now that we have the Project Budget money allocated to Work Packages we can further distribute it amongst the various activities of each WP so that we know how much money we have as a "Baseline" cost for each activity.• This provides us with the base of reference for the cost control function. Of course, depending on the circumstances the same thing may be done at the WP level but the ability to control is then at a higher and coarser level.Use of the Earned Value technique• If we have the necessary details another control tool that we can adopt for monitoring ongoing work is the "Earned Value" (EV) technique. This is a considerable art and science that you must learn about from texts dedicated to the subject. • But essentially, you take the costs of the schedule activities and plot them as a cumulative total on the appropriate time base. Again you can do this at the activity level, WP level or the whole project level. The lower the level the more control information you have available but the more work you get involved in. The Cost Baseline•This planned reference S-curve is sometimes referred to as the "Cost Baseline", typically in EVparlance. That is, it is the "Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled" (BCWS), or more simply the "Planned Value" (PV).•Observe that you need to modify this Cost Baseline every time there is an approved scope change that has cost and/or schedule implications and consequently changesthe project's Approved Project Budget.• Now, as the work progresses, you can plot the "Actual Cost of Work Performed" (ACWP or simply "Actual Cost" - AC).• You can plot other things as well, see diagram referred to above, and if you don't like what you see then you need to take "Corrective Action". CommentaryThis whole process is a cyclic, situational operation and is probably the source of the term "cycle" in the popularly misnamed "project life cycle".As an aside, the Earned Value pundits offer various other techniques within the EV process designed to aid in forecasting the final result, that is, the "Estimate At Completion" (EAC). EAC is what you should really be interested in because it is the only constant in a moving project. Therefore, these extended EV techniques must be considered in the same realm of accuracy as top-down estimating. They are useful, but only if you recognize the limitations and know what you are doing!But, as we said at the beginning, it is a lot more difficult to do in practice –and involves a significant amount of work. But, let's face it, that's what project managers are hired for, right?中文译文:项目成本控制:它的工作方式R.马克斯怀德曼我们在最近的咨询任务中意识到,对于整个项目成本控制体系是如何设置和应用的这个问题,我们仍有一些缺乏了解。

中英文对照外文翻译(文档含英文原文和中文翻译)The significance of control construction costs manages on entireprocessFirst, The necessary of control construction costs manages on entire process Talk about the management and the control on construction costs, that the field we are just accustomed to is thought of is a project advance in final account. Indeed , right away at present system and reality,what the job of that the management and the control on construction costs is advance in final account. Be that in advance, the people who work on final account according that already be ascertaied of the working drawing to calculate project amounts,apply a quota mechanically, the meter mechanically fetching cost, or designing that according to the drawing sheet and construction organization after construction is over as well as the scene construction visa takes notes weaves the final account being completed. This is necessary , useful no doubt. But we must see that when pre-final accounts personnel weave working drawing budget or the final account being completed, the construction plan and thedesign paper already determined. But construction being to take according to picture as principle, so then in advance, job done by final account personnel is only the change secretly scheming against cost produced by design alteration and prevents upvaluation from calculating boldly. But suppose the project is unreasonable on economy, there is a fault in decision-making; suppose designing a scheme feasible or be not optimum on the technology; the final account personnel can do nothing for sb then in advance. Job of final account personnel does accounts in advance only under just saying system currently in effect, after the event , can only reflect already complete project amounts inactively , can only reflect design and be under construction passively. This evidently is single-faceted , insufficient , we must carry out the entire proceeding supervisory control on the construction costs of building a project.Concrete conditions of union our country, cost of construction manages have problems as follows:1、Be not enough to take investment decision into the stage of construction costs seriously charge indeed.Investment decision is to produce the construction costs headstream, This one stage blow the expense at take up the total investment forehead about 0.5%~3%,but that can have an effect to raise the project benefit of investment. That the project carries out rational choice on construction is that resource carries out direct , the most important optimization deploy means on economy , project benefit of investment affects efficiency and beneficial result to entire national economy. The developed country charges attach importance to control on investment decision stage construction costs,and costs not stinting big capital of money making the studies on the stage of carrying out investment decision energetically, make relatively comparatively accurate construction costs , go along the controlFor a long time, there is the grave phenomenon investing in swelling in engineering construction of our country,bring the limit for a project feeling longer and longer, construction costs is higher and higher. The cause of that is short of the effective basis of the building of earlier stage ascertaining construction costs, only basis the already completed according to the expert , decision-makers draw lessons to estimate the project construction costs. Because a lot of factor effects, the“three surpass " phenomenon very common, there are main cause as follows:(1) personal factor brings about rough estimate lessening(2) equipment composes in reply material price's not working out according to market quotations.(3) construction units bring forward the too high for exceeding a design criterion 2、The design stage of construction costs is not under the control of strictThe design stage is the faucet in that project construction costs controls. After the investment decision is be made rationally , that is the process of plan the technology and organic together economly . Effective control the cost of construction requires strictly and all-round in the enginee designing . Engineering design of current our country also puts move bidding system , fair competition into practice , cost of construction looks on control engineering effective to design stage as one of thestandard choosing main part being hit by the bid unit , cost of construction carries out the administration controlling on the entire proceeding .Our country major part design that the unit carries out thorough analysis lack on construction project technology and economy , big multiple technologies make light of economy in design but at present , design that the personnel is responsible seemingly only to design project mass , are concerned with the construction costs height not very. Optimize a design plan to such an extent as having no way to pass, the first step designs , the rough estimate gets to the effect controlling general cost of construction's establishment. Mass and depth that engineering design pursues etc. is also insufficient , amounts project mistakes in amounts project detailed lists calculates , misses and not calculating, can't arouse increasing by estimating a project momentary, the mass making a tender work is difficult to ensure that , have no way to have an effect to control construction costs asa result also.3、Has not adopt the amounts project detailed list quoted price way being applied or used universally on the international all roundAdopt the amounts project detailed list quoted price way being put into use commonly on the international , is that our country construction costs system reforms and cause the inevitable trend reforming to bid system in invitation to bid tender.One of important act carrying out project public bidding system being to build socialist market economy and to perfect construction market operating mechanism in construction field. After the construction project tender is carried out all round in our country, the effect is obvious in the respect of shortening the mass building a time limit for a project , ensuring a project , reducing construction costs , boycotting an unhealthy tendency. Have ensured the invitation to bid people and bidder's lawful rights and interests also effectively. With the socialist market economy uninterrupted growth,the original tender stage puts the budget quota valuation pattern into practice already doing not adapting , adopt the amounts project detailed list quoted price way being put into use commonly on the international to carry out a tender is an inevitable trend. Ministry of Construction has issued amounts project detailed list valuation method , amounts project detailed list valuation has been in construction project tender job , person has provided project quantity from invitation to bid according to national unification project amounts calculation regulation , quoted price, and classics have judged the reason bidder autonomously trying the at a low price middle bid construction costs valuation pattern.That carrying out amounts project detailed list valuation method is one important measure of item of construction costs deepen the reform, is standard tender behavior effective measure. This method is beneficial to changing over taking that "amounts" ", "price" are "quota-consuming" as dominant static state managing a pattern , make project amounts in detailed list not enter competition, competition being confined to price only; Beneficial to rightness appraises enterprise strength; Project mass beneficial to ensuring that, reduces construction costs; May cut down the physical labour complicated and overloaded repeating the amounts calculating a project; Facilitate the tender quoted price job; Argue with the dispute back and forth in cutting down project settlement; Receive a track step by step with the convention "controllingamounts , guiding price , competing for a fee's on" the international, deepen the reformation that project valuation manages mainly according to the marketplace changes development, taking one's place on the international market for our country contracts business creates condition.4、The stage being under construction controls lack to construction costsWant to have strict control design alteration too in the stage being under construction. Guard the pass though that working drawing appears in joint trial or are able to have all sorts of problems, but call for to design a branch in the process of construction hard to avoid is strict out of the construction works complexity, the situation changing after avoiding doing first, is also that the weight avoiding break a rough estimate , effective control engineering of construction costs cost of construction plays with a link. At the same time, the sharpening contract manages , ensures equality and mutual benefit issuing contract of method and contracting method.5、The construction costs being completed settling a stage's controls a project inefficientlyThat the final account being completed is that entire construction costs is under the control of the most important one is encircled by construction works. How the final account being completed can reflect actual entire project cost of construction honestly , have also reflected the ability issuing contract of method and contracting method to construction costs administration , have finished handling a project in time the final account being completed must collect , arrange settling a data , pursuing , designing the certificate material changing notice , various warning including that the project is completed and so on being completed.

Great majority our country construction projects are completed in the project being under construction when the final account, during the period of the final account being completed contracting method , are are under construction contracting method calculating commonly much in the book being completed winding up an account , are issue contract of haggie just inexhaustible in devices and schemes , are dispute over trifles phenomenon is grave , project settlement drags repeatedly , some confirmation having drug once and , greatly, affecting engineering construction project sigmatism and building construction costs.A construction project includes the following procedure from brewing , planning , designing that to establishing completion and commissioning: Be that the project letter of advice stage , feasibility appraise the stage , design stage , the stage being under construction , acceptance check stage and the queen being completed estimate that.Correspondingly, the construction costs ascertaining that and the project construction phase job look at and appraise the stage adapting to , several being allotted in general for the following: The investment studying stage establishment inthe project letter of advice and feasibility is estimated, design stage establishment designs a rough estimate in the first step, budget designing that the stage weaves working drawing in working drawing, budget builds ampere of construction costs face to face with working drawing for basis tender project engineering contract, price is also that the form ascertains that with the business contract; Project amounts putting stage into practice being going to be completed according to contracting reality in project, takes contract price as basis , considers cost of construction rise aroused by inflation of prices at the same time , considers the project and cost being difficult to estimate that to designing middle but happening in putting stage reality into practice , the example is ascertained estimating price; All-in cost costing in the reality being completed checking and accepting a stage , assembling into engineering construction process middle all round, weaves the final account being completed , embodies the actual cost of construction that a construction project according to the facts."Four guess that two-valence "is interrelated , the former restricts the latter , the latter supplements the former.What is called, build the construction costs administration and control, it is the occurrence contracting the stage and construction in the investment decision stage , design stage , construction project putting stage into practice with construction construction costs to control within the cost of construction quota O. K. , correcting the deviation happening at any time, to ensure that the project manages the target realization , get fairly good benefit of investment and social benefits in an attempt being able to use manpower and material resources, financial resources rationally in building a project one by one.Second, the importance of the investment decision-making stage of project cost controlConstruction projects in the investment decision-making stage, the project of the techno-economic decision-making, as well as the cost of construction projects completed and put into production after the project cost-effective, have a decisive impact on the construction project cost control is an important stage. Project cost management as a decision-making stage in the feasibility study report shall be prepared, and economic evaluation of the proposed project, select the technically feasible and economically the construction of example programs and to optimize the construction program on the basis of the preparation of high-quality items investment is estimated that the project construction so that the real control of the project has played the role of total investment.The impact of the decision-making phase of the project cost are the main factors: a, the determine level of construction standards; b, the choice of built-up areas; c, building location (site) selection; d, project the economic scale; e, technology selection f, equipment selection .Such as the choice of built-up areas, there is a basic principle, that is close to raw materials, fuel and consumer principles. This project completed and put into production, you can avoid the raw materials, fuels, and finished the long-haul transport, reduce costs, lower costs; transportation distance may be shortened to reduce the flow of time, speed up cash flow and is conducive to business. If theproject's economic size, economies of scale, product standard is a reasonable means of production volume, a number of products under certain conditions, was "increasing returns" of economic phenomena, that is, with the expansion of production volume, unit cost reduction, revenue increase.Therefore, in order to phase in the investment decision-making control over project cost effective, we must do a good job in the following areas:(1) the implementation of construction project legal person responsibility system, the construction project from planning to implementation of the whole process of the use of funds and repayment responsibilities to people and projects at the same time establish a system of matching corporate oversight mechanisms, by the competent authorities and supervision of the industry sector establishment of a monitoring group to oversee the use of project funds.(2) to conduct market analysis and seeking truth from facts, to avoid the blindness of the project decision-making, reduce risk and lower investment, give full consideration to construction projects in the future competitiveness of the market so that more scientific book design and reliability(3) Capital financial capital must be committed to a formal document, investment funds must be put in place the parties, there must be a funding document to ensure that projects are implemented on schedule after approval. Conditions of the loans should be carefully analyzed and compared to minimize the interest burden and repayment pressure.(4) Strengthening of engineering geology, hydrogeology, as well as land, water, electricity, transport, environmental protection projects such as the work of the depth of the external conditions, so that there is sufficient basis to estimate the investment. At the same time, extensive research should be to compare similar projects, a serious functional analysis, comparison and choice of multi-program, a full-scale technical feasibility studies and economic evaluation, the finalization of technologically advanced, reliable, economical and rational project construction program in order to estimate more accurate and realistic estimate of the amount of investment in order to make the project cost from the start position in a more reasonable level.Third, the design phase of the importance of project cost controlMake investment decisions in the project, the project cost control is the key to the design. Design is in the technical and economic implementation of the proposed project to conduct a comprehensive arrangement, is also planning the construction process. Technologically advanced, economical and rational design can reduce the project construction period, savings investment, to improve efficiency. According to expert analysis, design fee generally equal to the construction of the project life-cycle cost of less than 1%, which costs less than 1% of project cost accounts for the impact of degrees above 75%. Because of the general construction projects, selection of materials and equipment accounted for more than 50% of the cost of the project, and in the design phase of architectural forms, structural type, the selection of equipment and materials have been identified in the construction of post-implementation phase, the impact of the project cost a small (10 % or less). This shows that the design quality is crucial to the entire projectThe same construction project, the same single unit of work can have different programs, which have different costs, it is therefore necessary to meet the function under the premise of doing a number of options, through technical comparison, economic analysis and efficiency evaluation, selection of technology selection into the application of economic and rational design, that is, the process of design optimization. Often used to optimize the design of the program, also known as the value of value engineering analysis, that is, as far as possible in meeting the functionality or improve the function of the premise, as far as possible to reduce costs.Occurred in the cost of all parts of the application of value engineering, construction investment will require a lot of people, financial, and material, and thus the value of engineering construction works great. For a rather mature and effective management methods, value engineering in a number of works have been widely used in construction.In the engineering design phase correctly handle the technical and economic relationship between the unity of opposites, we can control the key to investment, design and cost management must work closely with staff to make a lot of the technical and economic comparison, in the reduction and control of project efforts, engineering Cost management in the design process should be timely investment analysis on the comparison, the cost of information feedback and dynamic impact on the design, in order to ensure effective control over investment.At the design stage to project cost control should focus on the following aspects.(1) to promote the design and the design of the bidding campaign optimization design approachThe assessment team of experts using scientific methods, in accordance with applicable, economic, aesthetic principles, as well as technologically advanced, well-structured to meet the building energy saving and environmental requirements, a comprehensive assessment of the merits of design, selection of the best in determining the successful program. Estimates of selected investment program in general to be close to the scope of construction projects. The design of these two methods both contract design choice and competition, to ensure selection of the design of technologically advanced, innovative and unique, adaptable, and help control project cost. Design units should strive to improve their own quality, clever engineering design ideas, great care, in order to reduce the project cost more than their brains in order to improve design quality, and strive to put at the design stage in the approval of project cost control within the investment limits.(2) actively pursuing the design limitThe so-called cap design, is in accordance with the approved design of the book and investment is estimated that in the guarantee under the premise of the functional requirements. Preliminary design and budget control, in accordance with the approved budget for the preliminary design and total control of the construction design. Through the ceiling design, every professional, every designer has a target investment limit. During the design process, designers should be more into the program to compare and optimize the design, Not only to ensure that technically advanced and reasonable design, innovative aesthetics, but also the investment limit is not exceededthe target in order to put an end to the design of the project to raise the factor of safety and design standards, or only consider the feasibility of technical solutions, rather than the phenomenon of economic rationality to ensure effective cost control.(3) the implementation of the design of reward and punishment systemIn order to limit the design of the implementation into practice, the limit should be set up and sound system designed to reward and punishment. To limit the design is done well, cost savings and control of investment there is the effectiveness of the project legal person should be given appropriate incentives and design units. Design to limit the development of the internal design of assessment and incentive methods to limit attention to the design, made to save investment and effective cost control offices and the significant achievements of individuals, should be rewarding. Do not attach importance to limit the design, do not take measures to save the investment, resulting in more than a design limit investment offices and individuals should be given to economic penalties. Do reward and encourage designers to design deep potential economic importance to design the control of a reasonable project cost will be a major breakthrough.Fourth、the cost control of the implementation phase of construction project1, the bidding process stageThe implementation of construction project bidding is effective means of construction projects to control the implementation phase of the project cost. If we want To do a good job for bidding, the first we should make sure that qualification is clearance, and resolutely put an end to bribery, such as all the Phenomenon about destruction of all bidding discipline; Secondly, we should strengthen the bid management, to ensure the accuracy and confidentiality of bid preparation; Third, make sure the method of Evaluation and Calibration are Scientific .when select the successful projects as a standard we should concern about the reasonable, short period, reputable companies, construction considerations such as experience. when we evaluation, the first is technical standard assessment, the follow is business assessment,this can ensure open, fair and just.2, the construction phaseIn the construction phase construction ,the goles based on project budget or contract price of Civil works and installation works and project cost control of Civil works and installation works. At this stage the scope for savings has been small, but it is likely to lead to waste,this make us give them adequate attention for the control of project cost.(1) strengthen the technical and economic comparison of construction programConstruction is an important work of the design of constructing orgnization. Reasonable constructing program can shorten the period of constructing, ensure the quality of the project and enhance economic efficiency. Comparing and analysing the constructing program from technical and economic view and comparing the three techno-economic index of the quality, duration and cost through qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis can take good use of manpower, material and financial resources, achieving better economic benefits. Consequently, good construction management is an important way of all-round cost management.(2) a sound system design change Examination and approval systemIf design subject need to be change, we should take action as far as possible in advance, because the sooner the change, the smaller loss; Second, before each design ofchanges we must analysis the quality of project and cost, and this should receive the consent of the original design. If it breakthrough the total project cost estimates after the change, this must be approved by the review of the relevant departments, we should prevent these things happened such as increasing design elements ,improving the design standards, increasing the project cost.(3) check strictly with visa procedures of the project site we should Construct project management system , establish the specialized departments,and through the use of specialized management of professionals for the project, to avoid the phenomenon that project management staff just care visa only, take no concern about the economic accounts, resulting the serious consequences such as investment is out of control.For Seriously changes of visa procedures we should make the building side, supervision side, the construction site together representatives signed a manner to ensure that the authenticity of the visa, the rationality of the economy of changes and to avoid the disputes caused by the phenomenon of fraud.(4) do a good job in the completion of the audit settlement priceClearing refers to the completion of construction enterprises in accordance with the terms of the contract completed by the contractor within the engineering, land quality experience, and in accordance with the contract, the construction units to carry out the final project settlement price. Completion of the project audited settlement is approved in accordance with the construction of the project cost. Therefore, the completion of settlement of the audit is a very important work, should focus on the following:① check the accuracy of the project quantity.the check of project Quantity is the most important and most complicated, the most detailed work in process of the settle of completed project, this must be based on completion of the project plan, changed design and construction of the scene .it strictly in accordance with the provisions of the rules one by one in terms of project review to prevent the units of construction to increase the volume of inflated project cost in the settlement on completion of the project.② examine whether the additional apply is right . check the sub-projects listed in the price in line with the fixed unit price, check whether the name, specification, measurement units and the content consistent with the units of the valuation table; for the unit price of conversion, the first step is to check if the conversion price was fixed allowed, followed check if the conversion price is correct.③ check if the standards for the admission fee In line with the cost of the fixed and the cost of policies and regulations of the project during the construction.Fifth, the thinking and outlook of project cost management system From a long time, we generally ignore the the project cost control of preparatory work for the construction phase, and control projects often focus on the cost of the construction phase - the budget review working drawings and reasonable settlement。

The Cost of Building Structure1. IntroductionThe art of architectural design was characterized as one of dealing comprehensively with a complex set of physical and nonphysical design determinants. Structural considerations were cast as important physical determinants that should be dealt with in a hierarchical fashion if they are to have a significant impact on spatial organization and environmental control design thinking.The economical aspect of building represents a nonphysical structural consideration that, in final analysis, must also be considered important. Cost considerations are in certain ways a constraint to creative design. But this need not be so. If something is known of the relationship between structural and constructive design options and their cost of implementation, it is reasonable to believe that creativity can be enhanced. This has been confirmed by the authors’observation that most enhanced. This has been confirmed by the authors’observation that most creative design innovations succeed under competitive bidding and not because of unusual owner affluence as the few publicized cases of extravagance might lead one to believe. One could even say that a designer who is truly creative will produce architectural excellence within the constraints of economy. Especially today, we find that there is a need to recognize that elegance and economy can become synonymous concepts.Therefore, in this chapter we will set forth a brief explanation of the parameters of cost analysis and the means by which designers may evaluate the overall economic implications of their structural and architectural design thinking.The cost of structure alone can be measured relative to the total cost of building construction. Or, since the total construction cost is but a part of a total project cost, one could include additional consideration for land10~20percent,finance and interest100~200 percent,taxes and maintenance costs on the order of20 percent.But a discussion of theseso-called architectural costs is beyond the scope of this book, and we will focus on the cost of construction only.On the average, purely structural costs account for about 25 percent of total construction costs, This is so because it has been traditional to discriminate between purely structural and other so-called architectural costs of construction. Thus, in tradition we find that architectural costs have been taken to be those that are not necessary for the structural strength and physical integrity of a building design.“Essential services” forms a third construction cost category and refers to the provision of mechanical and electrical equipment and other service systems. On the average, these service costs account for some 15 to 30 percent of the total construction cost, depending on the type of building. Mechanical and electrical refers to the cost of providing for air-conditioning equipment and he means on air distribution as well as other services, such as plumbing, communications, and electrical light and power.The salient point is that this breakdown of costs suggests that, up to now, an average of about 45 to 60 percent of the total cost of constructing a typical design solution could be considered as architectural. But this picture is rapidly changing. With high interest costs and a scarcity of capital, client groups are demanding leaner designs. Therefore, one may conclude that there are two approaches the designer may take towards influencing the construction cost of building.The first approach to cost efficiency is to consider that wherever architectural and structural solutions can be achieved simultaneously, a potential for economy is evident. Since current trends indicate a reluctance to allocate large portions of a construction budget to purely architectural costs, this approach seems a logical necessity. But, even where money is available, any use of structure to play a basic architectural role will allow the nonstructural budget to be applied to fulfill other architectural needs that might normally have to be applied to fulfill other architectural needs that might normally have to be cutback. The second approach achieves economy through an integration of service and structural subsystems to round out one’s effort to produce a total architectural solution to a building design problem.The final pricing of a project by the constructor or contractor usually takes a different form. The costs are broken down into 1 cost of materials brought to the site, 2cost of labor involved in every phase of the construction process, 3cost of equipment purchased or rented for the project, 4cost of management and overhead, and5 profit. The architect or engineer seldom follows such an accurate path but should perhaps keep in mind how the actual cost of a structure is finally priced and made up.Thus, the percent averages stated above are obviously crude, but they can suffice to introduce the nature of the cost picture. The following sections will discuss the range of these averages and then proceed to a discussion of square footage costs and volume-based estimates for use in rough approximation of the cost of building a structural system.2. Percentage EstimatesThe type of building project may indicate the range of percentages that can be allocated to structural and other costs. As might be expected, highly decorative or symbolic buildings would normally demand the lowest percentage of structural costs as compared to total construction cost. In this case the structural costs might drop to 10~15percent of the total building cost because more money is allocated to the so-called architectural costs. Once again this implies that the symbolic components are conceived independent of basic structural requirements. However, where structure and symbolism are more-or-less synthesized, as with a church or Cathedral, the structural system cost can be expected to be somewhat higher, say, 15and20 percent or more.At the other end of the cost scale are the very simple and nonsymbolic industrial buildings, such as warehouses and garages. In these cases, the nonstructural systems, such as interior partition walls and ceilings, as will as mechanical systems, are normally minimal, as is decoration,and therefore the structural costs can account for60 to 70 percent, even 80 percent of the total cost of construction.Buildings such as medium-rise office and apartment buildings5~10 storiesoccupy the median position on a cost scale at about 25 percent for structure. Low and short-span buildings for commerce and housing, say, of three or four stories and with spans of some 20 or 30 ft and simple erection requirements, will yield structural costs of 15~20 percent of total building cost.Special-performance buildings, such as laboratories and hospitals, represent another category. They can require long spans and a more than average portion of the total costs will be allocated to services i.e., 30~50 percent, with about 20 percent going for the purely structural costs. Tall office building 15 stories or more and/or long-span buildings say, 50 to 60 ft can require a higher percentage for structural costs about 30to 35percent of the total construction costs,with about 30 to 40 percent allocated to services.In my case, these percentages are typical and can be considered as a measure of average efficiency in design of buildings. For example, if a low, short-span and nonmonumental building were to be bid at 30 percent for the structure alone, one could assume that the structural design may be comparatively uneconomical. On the other hand, the architect should be aware of the confusing fact that economical bids depend on the practical ability of both the designer and the contractor to interpret the design and construction requirements so that a low bid will ensue. Progress in structural design is often limited more by the designer’s or contractor’slack of experience, imagination, and absence of communication than by the idea of the design. If a contractor is uncertain, he will add costs to hedge the risk he will be taking. It is for this reason that both the architect and the engineer should be well-versed in the area of construction potentials if innovative designs ate to be competitively bid. At the least the architect must be capable of working closely with imaginative structural engineers, contractors and even fabricators wherever possible even if the architecture is very ordinary.Efficiency always requires knowledge and above all imagination, and these are essential when designs are unfamiliar.The foregoing percentages can be helpful in approximating total construction costs if the assumption is made that structural design is at least of average of typical efficiency. For example, if a total office building construction cost budget is ﹩5,000,000,and 25 percent is the “standard” to be used for structure, a projected structural system should cost no more than ﹩1,250,000.If a very efficient design were realized, say, at 80 percent of what would be given by the “average”efficient design estimate stated above the savings,20 percent,would then be﹩250,000 or 5 percent of total construction costs ﹩5,000,000.If the ﹩5,000,000 figure is committed, then the savings of ﹩250,000 could be applied to expand the budget for “other” costs.All this suggests that creative integration of structural and mechanical and electrical design with the total architectural design concept can result in either a reduction in purely construction design concept can result in either a reduction in purely construction costs or more architecture for the same cost. Thus, the degree of success possible depends on knowledge, cleverness, and insightful collaboration of the designers and contractors.The above discussion is only meant to give the reader an overall perspective on total construction costs. The following sections will now furnish the means for estimating the cost of structure alone. Two alternative means will be provided for making an approximate structural cost estimate: one on a square foot of building basis, and another on volumes of structural materials used. Such costs can then be used to get a rough idea of total cost by referring to the “standards”for efficient design given above. At best, this will be a crude measure, but it is hoped that the reader will find that it makes him somewhat familiar with the type of real economic problems that responsible designers must deal with. At the least, this capability will be useful in comparing alternative systems for the purpose of determining their relative cost efficiency.3. Square-foot EstimatingAs before, it is possible to empirically determine a “standard”per-square-foot cost factor based on the average of costs for similar construction at a given place and time. more-or-less efficient designs are possible, depending on the ability of the designer and contractor to use materials and labor efficiently, and vary from the average.The range of square-foot costs for “normal” structural systems is ﹩10 to ﹩16 psf. For example, typical office buildings average between ﹩12 and ﹩16 psf, and apartment-type structures range from ﹩10 to ﹩14.In each case, the lower part of the range refers to short spans and low buildings, whereas the upper portion refers to longer spans and moderately tall buildings.Ordinary industrial structures are simple and normally produce square-foot costs ranging from ﹩10 to ﹩14,as with the more typical apartment building. Although the spans for industrial structures are generally longer than those for apartment buildings, and the loads heavier, they commonly have fewer complexities as well as fewer interior walls, partitions, ceiling requirements, and they are not tall. In other words, simplicity of design and erection can offset the additional cost for longer span lengths and heavier loads in industrial buildings.Of course there are exceptions to these averages. The limits of variation depend on a system’s complexity, span length over “normal”and special loading or foundation conditions. For example, the Crown Zellerbach high-rise bank and office building in San Francisco is an exception, since its structural costs were unusually high. However, in this case, the use of 60 ft steel spans and free-standing columns at the bottom, which carry the considerable earthquake loading, as well as the special foundation associated with the poor San Francisco soil conditions, contributed to the exceptionally high costs. The design was also unusual for its time and a decision had been made to allow higher than normal costs for all aspects of the building to achieve open spaces and for both function and symbolic reasons. Hence the proportion ofstructural to total cost probably remained similar to ordinary buildings.The effect of spans longer than normal can be further illustrated. The “usual”floor span range is as follows: for apartment buildings,16 to 25 ft; for office buildings,20 to 30 ft; for industrial buildings,25 to 30 ft loaded heavily at 200 to 300 psf; and garage-type structures span,50 to 60 ft, carrying relatively light50~75 psf loadsi.e., similar to those for apartment and office structures.where these spans are doubled, the structural costs can be expected to rise about 20 to 30 percent.To increased loading in the case of industrial buildings offers another insight into the dependency of cost estimates on “usual”standards. If the loading in an industrial building were to be increased to 500psfi.e., two or three times, the additional structural cost would be on the order of another 20 to 30 percent.The reference in the above cases is for floor systems. For roofs using efficient orthotropic flat systems, contemporary limits for economical design appear to be on the order of 150 ft, whether of steel or prestressed concrete. Although space- frames are often used for steel or prestressed concrete. Although space-frames are often used for steel spans over 150 ft the fabrication costs begin to raise considerably.At any rate, it should be recognized that very long-span subsystems are special cases and can in themselves have a great or small effect on is added, structural costs for special buildings can vary greatly from design to design. The more special the form, themore that design knowledge and creativity, as well as construction skill, will determine the potential for achieving cost efficiency.4. Volume-Based EstimatesWhen more accuracy is desired, estimates of costs can be based on the volume of materials used to do a job. At first glance it might seem that the architect would be ill equipped to estimate the volume of material required in construction with any accuracy, and much less speed. But itis possible, with a moderate learning effort, to achieve some capability for making such estimates.Volume-based estimates are given by assigning in-place value to the pounds or tons of steel, or the cubic yards of reinforced or prestressed concrete required to build a structural system. For such a preliminary estimate, one does not need to itemize detailed costs. For example, in-place concrete costs include the cost of forming, falsework, reinforcing steel, labor, and overhead. Steel includes fabrication and erection of components.Costs of structural steel as measured by weight range from ﹩0.50 to ﹩0.70 per pound in place for building construction. For low-rise buildings, one can use stock wide-flange structural members that require minimum fabrication, and the cost could be as bow as ﹩0.50 per pound. More complicated systems requiring much cutting and weldingsuch as a complicated steel truss or space-frame design can go to ﹩0.70 per pound and beyond. For standard tall building designs say, exceeding 20 stories,there would typically be about 20 to 30 pounds of steel/psf, which one should wish not to exceed. A design calling for under 20 psf would require a great deal of ingenuity and the careful integration of structural and architectural components and would be a real accomplishment.Concrete costs are volumetric and should range from an in-place low of ﹩150 per cu yd for very simple reinforced concrete work to ﹩300 per cu yd for expensive small quantity precast and prestressed work. This large range is due to the fact that the contributing variables are more complicated, depending upon the shape of the precise components, the erection problems, and the total quantity produced.Form work is generally the controlling factor for any cast-in-place concrete work. Therefore, to achieve a cost of ﹩150 per cu yd, only the simplest of systems can be used, such as flat slabs that require little cutting and much reuse of forms. Where any beams are introduced that require special forms and difficulty in placement of concrete and steelbars, the range begins at ﹩180 per cu yd and goes up to ﹩300.Since, in a developed country, high labor costs account for high forming costs, this results in pressure to use the simplest and most repetitive of systems to keep costs down. It become rewarding to consider the possibility of mass-produced precast and prestressed components, which may bring a saving in costs and\or construction completion time. The latter results in savings due to lower construction financing costs for the contractor plus quicker earnings for the owner.To summarize, the range of cost per cubic yard of standard types of poured-in-place concrete work will average from $150 to $250, the minimum being for simple reinforced work and the maximum for moderately complicated post tensioned work.

it建筑结构的成本1.前言众所周知,建筑物的结构设计是一个相当复杂的过程,其中既包含处理很多物质因素,又考虑诸多非物质方面的因素.如果建筑物的结构形式对空间组织和美化环境的设计起这句举足轻重的影响,那么它就是一个相当重要的物理因素,就应当采用分阶段的设计方法.对建筑物的经济考虑是一个主要的非物质因素,在最终的设计中应予以重视.对一个具有创造性的设计而言,经济考虑从某方面来说往往是一种制约,但这也并非是绝对的.如果事先清楚结构设计及施工组织方案与实现他们的造价之间的关系,那么创造性是同样可以实现的.调查表明,大多具有创造性的设计是在有竞争性的投标中获得成功的,而不是因为业主非常富有.尽管后者被大肆炒作,却很少使人信服.因此也可以说,真正具有创造性的设计因该具有很强的经济性.特别是今天,人们应该逐渐认识到,高雅和经济其实是一个可以统一的概念.因此,本文列举一些造价分析参数的简单解释,以及设计人员在他们的结构设计中考虑经济因素是经常采用的一些设计中考虑经济因素是经常采用的一些设计手法.结构造价本身是通过其在建筑物总造价中所占的百分比来衡量的.或者说,由于工程只是一个项目总造价的一部分,因此还要考虑附加费用如地价10%~20%、筹资利息100%~200%、税金及维修费20%左右.不过上面这些因素都不在本文的讨论范围之内,文章将重点介绍工程造价.平均来说,单纯的结构造价大约占建筑物总造价25%.按照惯例,建筑无的结构造价和所谓的建筑造价是分开的.一般说来,所谓的建筑造价,往往是指那些与建筑的结构强度和物理完整性无关的因素.“基本服务设施费”组成了第三类工程费用,主要是指机械供给、电器设备以及其他一些服务体系等费用.一般说来,这部分费用大概占建筑物总费用的15%~30%,这主要取决于建筑无的类型.机械和电气费用,主要是指空调系统费用以及其他诸如管道系统、通讯、照明及动力设备等其他服务设施.在这一造价分类中非常显着的一点是,一个典型的建筑物设计方案的总体费用,应该有45%~60%分配给建筑因素.但现在这种状况正在迅速改变,因为高利率以及资金的缺乏,现在大多业主更倾向于节约型设计.因此,设计者应该考虑两条途径,他们可以直接影响建筑无的工程造价.第一个节约开支的途径可以这样来考虑,即凡是那些建筑问题和结构问题能够同时解决的地方往往有着很强的经济潜力.由于目前大多设计都不愿将建筑物费用一大部分用于纯粹建筑设计,这种方法就显得尤为重要,也会节省一部分非结构预算,这一经费可用于一些本会被削减掉的建筑需求.第二种节约开支的途径,则是设计人员在设计过程中综合考虑服务设施和结构体系,尽力提出一个能够解决房屋设计和施工难题的总建筑方案.承包商通常回用不同的方式做出工程项目的最终报价.他们往往将其分为场地材料费、每一个施工过程中的劳动力资源费、工程所需购买、租借的装备费、经营管理费以及利润.建筑师以及工程师很少考虑的像上面所述的那么精确,但是头脑中应该有一个清楚的概念,那就是一项结构工程的实际造价最终使用什么方法定价以及承包商又是怎样标价的.显然,上面讲到的百分比平均数有些粗略,但是它足以说明总体造价的组成情况了.下面的几部分将讨论这些平均数的范围,并进一步阐述在对建筑无的造价进行粗略、近似估计时用到的平方英尺以及单位体积造价.2.百分比估价建筑物的类型将决定结构费用以及其他费用所占的白分比范围.正如所希望的,装饰性或者标志性较强的建筑物的结构造价在总体造价中所占的比重相对较低.一般而言,结构造价所占的百分比可低至工程总造价的10%~15%,这是因为更多的钱被用到那些非结构费用上了.这又一次说明“装饰”部分是与基本的结构要求无关的.然而对于一些诸如教堂类的综合性标志建筑物,对其结构体系的造价相对较高,其百分比可达到15%~20%或者更高.与之相对的是一些诸如仓库或者车库之类简易的和非象征性的工业建筑物,对于这种建筑,由于内部隔墙、天花板、管道设备系统以及装修部分要求较低,其结构造价在工程总体造价中所占的比例往往能达到60%~70%,有时甚至可达80%.对于一些中等高度5~10层得多层办公楼或住宅楼,其结构造价在总体造价中所占的比例,大约维持在25%这一中间值;而对于一些低矮且跨据短的商业用房和住宅,大约3~4层高且跨度为20~30英尺以及简单的竖向要求,其结构造价将占总造价15%~20%.而一些特殊用途的建筑,如实验室和医院,则另当别论.他们需要较大的跨度以及不一般要求高的机械装备.这就导致总体造价得以大部分将被用于服务费用大约30%~50%,而单纯的结构造价约占20%.对于15层或者以上的高层办公楼以及大跨度约50~60英尺建筑物,其结构造价在总体造价中将占较高的百分比约30%~35%,而服务费用约占30%~40%.在任何情况下这些百分比数据都是具有典型性的,并可作为衡量建筑物设计平均效益的尺度.例如,如果一个较低的小跨度且不具备纪念价值的建筑物,仅仅结构造价投标就为30%的话,那么可以肯定这个结构设计是相当不经济的.另一方面,建筑师应该注意到的一个容易混淆的事实就是,经济投标往往取决于设计者和承包人的理解设计及施工要求的实际能力,能力强就能提供一个较低的投标.创造性设计受限往往是因为设计者或承包商在经验、想象力际交流方面的匮乏.如果承包者没有把握,那么它就会加大投资,以防可能遇到的意外风险.因此要使有创造性的设计在投标时具有竞争力,作为一名建筑师它应能够洞察工程潜力所在.至少建筑是应该尽可能地与想象力丰富的结构工程师、承包商甚至制造商惊醒密切配合.相反,即使对于最为普通的建筑设计,如果仅仅靠设计手册,是很难取得经济效益的.效率离不开专业知识,而最为重要的是想象力,这一点在面对一个不太熟悉的项目是尤为重要.如果建筑物结构设计至少具有中等或标准的效益时,前面所提到的百分比就对建筑物总造价估算有着很大的帮助.例如,如果一座办公楼总体造价500万美元,其中有25%时结构造价的标准,那么这一工程结构体系造价就不能超过125万美元.若设计很合理,比如时按上述的中等效益设计估算造价的80%时,那么就有25万美元,也就是5%的总体建筑费用被省下来.如果这500万资金已经到位,那么节省下的25万美元就可用于其他的经济开支.上面所有阐述表明,结构设计和建筑整体设计机械和电器的创造性结合的概念,将有助于减少单纯的结构造价,或在相同造价下提供更多的建筑费用.这样,设计成功的程度将取决于设计者的专业知识、灵活性以及设计者和承包人之间有洞察力的合作,上面讨论仅仅是提供一种建筑总体造价的全面视图,下面的部分将提供对建筑的结构造价进行估价的方法.有两种可供选择的方法将用来进行结构造价的近似估价:其一是根据单位平方英尺建筑面积,另一种则是根据所用的结构材料体积进行估价.参考上面所提到的有效设计的结构造价标准,最后的结构估价有助于对建筑的总体造价惊醒大概的了解.当然,这样得到的只是一个粗略的估价,但却会使设计负责人员对实际设计中经常要面对的经济问题有所了解.至少,这些将有助于对可供选择的结构体系的相对成本效益进行对比.3.平方英尺估算如前所述,在一个特定的时期和地区,是可以根据相似工程的平均造价,来经验地确定准平方英尺造价系数.设计者和承包人有效的利用材料和劳动力的能力不同,会导致不同平均水平的经济效率设计的.对于“标准”的结构体系而言,每平方英尺的造价为10~16美元,例如,典型的办公楼平均水平在12~16美元之间,而住宅型建筑的范围则是10~14美元.对以上两种情况,下限适用于短跨低矮的建筑,而上限则是用于较大跨度及中等高度的建筑.如同典型的住宅性建筑,普通工业建筑结构简单,通常每平方英尺的造价为10~14美元.尽管工业建筑的跨度很大,且荷载较重,但他们的布局简单,在内墙、隔墙以及天花板方面的要求较少,且一般不高.换句话说,设计和安装的简单化,可以弥补工业建筑因大跨度和重载所造成的额外造价.当然也存在着不同于平均水平的情况.变化的限度取决于体系的复杂程度、跨度超长的程度、特殊的荷载级地震条件等.例如,由于结构造价相当高,位于旧金山的Crown Zellerbach 银行和办公楼旧称得上是个例外.60英尺跨度的钢架以及底部用来承受地震荷载的自由支撑的柱子,连同旧金山糟糕的土壤状况,都造成了较高的造价.在那个时期,这样的设计是非同寻常的,正是因为其特殊的用途及标志性,它才被允许以建筑物个方面都高出同类建筑物的平均水平的造价进行建造.因此,其结构造价在总体造价中的比重接近也普通建筑物.现在将进一步叙述超长跨度的影响.正常跨度的范围规定为:住宅楼16~25英尺;办公楼20~30英尺;工业建筑为25~30英尺,且每平方英尺承重200~300磅;车库建筑为50~60英尺,且相对较轻.如果跨度增加一倍,结构造价将会提高大约20~30%.工业建筑中较大的荷载也无形中提高了建筑物的结构造价.如果一个工业建筑的荷载增加到每平方米500磅大约2~3倍的话,其结构造价也将提高20~30%.上面所述都是针对楼层系统而言的,对采用有效正交各向异性体系的公寓屋顶,不管是钢还是预应力混凝土的,其现代经济设计者的限值都是150英尺.尽管钢结构空间框架常大于150英尺,其制造费用也将大大增加.无论如何,长跨度体系都有其特殊性,它可能较多,也可能较少的影响总体建筑造价时,对于特殊的建筑物,其结构造价将随着设计的不同而明显地改变 .结构形式越特殊,由设计知识、设计的创造性以及施工技术所决定的造价节俭潜力就越大.4.体积度量估算初看起来,一个建筑师不善于精确地估计建筑过程中所用到的材料体积,并如果要得到更高的精度,可以通过工程中所用到的材料体积来估计造价.且进展会非常缓慢,但通过努力学习后,是可以实现这一估计的.体积量度估价,是通过制定结构系统中需要的以磅或吨记得钢材、立方体的钢筋或预应力混凝土的现场价格来实现的.对于这样一个初步估计,没有必要去详究它的详细造价.例如,混凝土的现浇造价将包括模板、脚手架、钢筋、劳动力等费用和间接费用.钢结构则包括构件制作及安装的费用.以重量计的建筑钢材的现场价格,从每磅0.50美元到0.70美元不等.对于低层建筑,可采用现成的宽翼缘型钢构件,只需要极少的加工,因而成本可降低至每磅0.50美元.而复杂的结构体系需要较多的切割和焊接如复杂的钢桁架或空间框架设计,因而其钢材现场价格可达0.7美元甚至更高.对于标准的高层建筑设计,每平方米大概将由20~30磅钢材,这是设计人员不希望超过的量值.而每平方米低于20磅的设计,则需要很强的创造力以及建筑物设计和结构设计上完美的结合,其可称得上是一个真正的成就.混凝土的价格是以体积计量的,其范围从简易的每立方码150美元的现浇钢筋混凝土工程,到非常昂贵的每立方码300美元的小批量所谓预制和预应力工程不等.出现如此大的价格范围.是因为影响因素较复杂,包括预制构件的形状、安装的难易其生产总量.模板通常是现场浇制混凝土构件的决定性因素,因此,为得到每立方码150美元的价格,需要采用最简单的体系方可,例如需要很少的模板加工量并可多次使用平板.一旦梁存在,就需要专门的模板,由于混凝土和钢筋的放置上的困难,价格范围每立方码180美元上升到每立方码300美元.在发达国家,由于较高的劳动力费用,导致较高的模板造价,这就迫使人们采用最简单的和大批量可重复使用的结构构件来实现造价的削减.但现场浇制价格开始接近每立方码240美元时,就应该考虑大批量生产的预制和预应力构件的使用,这样将会减少造价和缩短工期.后者将会因为时公开支费用的降低,是承包商快速赢利.总的来说,每平方码现场浇筑混凝土的标准价格将从150美元~250美元不等,其下限适用于简单混凝土工程,而上限则适用于中等复杂程度的后张预应力工程.这样一个价格范围相对较大,任何忽略了上述影响因素的估价,都将是不准确的.5.结论建筑物的成本估计及节约设计,是一项重要而又必须的工作,每一个建筑师和结构师及相关的建筑业者.都应给予充分的重视.这一工作做得越好,你得到的回报越多。

工程造价论文中英文资料对照外文翻译Risk Analysis of the International Construction ProjectABSTRACTThis analysis used a case study methodology to analyse the issues surrounding the partial collapse of the roof of a building housing the headquarters of the Standards Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ). In particular, it examined the prior roles played by the team of construction professionals. The analysis revealed that the SAZ’s traditional construction project was generally characterized by high risk. There was a clear indication of the failure of a contractor and architects in preventing and/or mitigating potential construction problems as alleged by the plaintiff. It was reasonable to conclude that between them the defects should have been detected earlier and rectified in good time before the partial roof failure. It appeared justified for the plaintiff to have brought a negligence claim against both the contractor and the architects. The risk analysis facilitated, through its multi-dimensional approach to a critical examination of a construction problem, the identification of an effective risk management strategy for future construction projects. It further served to emphasize the point that clients are becoming more demanding, more discerning, and less willing to accept risk without recompense. Clients do not want surprise, and are more likely to engage in litigation when things go wrong.KEY WORDS:Arbitration, claims, construction, contracts, litigation, project and risk The structural design of the reinforced concrete elements was done by consulting engineers Knight Piesold (KP). Quantity surveying services were provided by Hawkins, Leshnick & Bath (HLB). The contract was awarded to Central African Building Corporation (CABCO) who was also responsible for the provision of a specialist roof structure using patented “gang nail” roof trusses. The building construction proceeded to completion and was handed over to the owners on Sept. 12, 1991. The SAZ took effective occupation of the headquarters building without a certificate of occupation. Also, the defects liability period was only three months .The roof structure was in place 10 years before partial failure in December 1999. The building insurance coverage did not cover enough, the City of Harare, a government municipality, issued the certificate of occupation 10 years after occupation, and after partial collapse of the roof .At first the SAZ decided to go to arbitration, but this failed to yield an immediate solution. The SAZ then decided to proceed to litigate in court and to bring a negligence claim against CABCO. The preparation for arbitration was reused for litigation. The SAZ’s quantified losses stood at approximately $ 6 million in Zimbabwe dollars (US $1.2m) .After all parties had examined the facts and evidence before them, it became clear that there was a great probability that the courts might rule that both the architects and the contractor were liable. It was at this stage that the defendants’ lawyers requested that the matter be settled out of court. The plaintiff agreed to this suggestion, with the terms of the settlement kept confidential .The aim of this critical analysis was to analyse the issues surrounding the partial collapse of the roof of the building housing the HQ of Standard Association of Zimbabwe. It examined the prior roles played by the project management function and construction professionals in preventing/mitigating potential construction problems. It further assessed the extent to which the employer/client and parties to a construction contract are able to recover damages under that contract. The main objective of this critical analysis was to identify an effective risk management strategy for future construction projects. The importance of this study is its multidimensional examination approach.Experience suggests that participants in a project are well able to identify risks based on their own experience. The adoption of a risk management approach, based solely in past experience and dependant on judgement, may work reasonably well in a stable low risk environment. It is unlikely to be effective where there is a change. This is because change requires the extrapolation of past experience, which could be misleading. All construction projects are prototypes to some extent and imply change. Change in the construction industry itself suggests that past experience is unlikely tobe sufficient on its own. A structured approach is required. Such a structure can not and must not replace the experience and expertise of the participant. Rather, it brings additional benefits that assist to clarify objectives, identify the nature of the uncertainties, introduces effective communication systems, improves decision-making, introduces effective risk control measures, protects the project objectives and provides knowledge of the risk history .Construction professionals need to know how to balance the contingencies of risk with their specific contractual, financial, operational and organizational requirements. Many construction professionals look at risks in dividually with a myopic lens and do not realize the potential impact that other associated risks may have on their business operations. Using a holistic risk management approach will enable a firm to identify all of the organization’s business risks. This wi ll increase the probability of risk mitigation, with the ultimate goal of total risk elimination .Recommended key construction and risk management strategies for future construction projects have been considered and their explanation follows. J.W. Hinchey stated that there is and can be no ‘best practice’ standard for risk allocation on a high-profile project or for that matter, any project. He said, instead, successful risk management is a mind-set and a process. According to Hinchey, the ideal mind-set is for the parties and their representatives to, first, be intentional about identifying project risks and then to proceed to develop a systematic and comprehensive process for avoiding, mitigating, managing and finally allocating, by contract, those risks in optimum ways for the particular project. This process is said to necessarily begin as a science and ends as an art .According to D. Atkinson, whether contractor, consultant or promoter, the right team needs to be assembled with the relevant multi-disciplinary experience of that particular type of project and its location. This is said to be necessary not only to allow alternative responses to be explored. But also to ensure that the right questions are asked and the major risks identified. Heads of sources of risk are said to be a convenient way of providing a structure for identifying risks to completion of a participant’s part of the project. Effective risk management is said to require amulti-disciplinary approach. Inevitably risk management requires examination of engineering, legal and insurance related solutions .It is stated that the use of analytical techniques based on a statistical approach could be of enormous use in decision making . Many of these techniques are said to be relevant to estimation of the consequences of risk events, and not how allocation of risk is to be achieved. In addition, at the present stage of the development of risk management, Atkinson states that it must be recognized that major decisions will be made that can not be based solely on mathematical analysis. The complexity of construction projects means that the project definition in terms of both physical form and organizational structure will be based on consideration of only a relatively small number of risks . This is said to then allow a general structured approach that can be applied to any construction project to increase the awareness of participants .The new, simplified Construction Design and Management Regulations (CDM Regulations) which came in to force in the UK in April 2007, revised and brought together the existing CDM 1994 and the Construction Health Safety and Welfare (CHSW) Regulations 1996, into a single regulatory package.The new CDM regulations offer an opportunity for a step change in health and safety performance and are used to reemphasize the health, safety and broader business benefits of a well-managed and co-ordinated approach to the management of health and safety in construction. I believe that the development of these skills is imperative to provide the client with the most effective services available, delivering the best value project possible.Construction Management at Risk (CM at Risk), similar to established private sector methods of construction contracting, is gaining popularity in the public sector. It is a process that allows a client to select a construction manager (CM) based on qualifications; make the CM a member of a collaborative project team; centralize responsibility for construction under a single contract; obtain a bonded guaranteed maximum price; produce a more manageable, predictable project; save time and money; and reduce risk for the client, the architect and the CM.CM at Risk, a more professional approach to construction, is taking its place along with design-build, bridging and the more traditional process of design-bid-build as an established method of project delivery.The AE can review the CM’s approach to the work, making helpful recommendations. The CM is allowed to take bids or proposals from subcontractors during completion of contract documents, prior to the guaranteed maximum price (GMP), which reduces the CM’s risk and provides useful input to design. The procedure is more methodical, manageable, predictable and less risky for all.The procurement of construction is also more business-like. Each trade contractor has a fair shot at being the low bidder without fear of bid shopping. Each must deliver the best to get the projec. Competition in the community is more equitable: all subcontractors have a fair shot at the work .A contingency within the GMP covers unexpected but justifiable costs, and a contingency above the GMP allows for client changes. As long as the subcontractors are within the GMP they are reimbursed to the CM, so the CM represents the client in negotiating inevitable changes with subcontractors.There can be similar problems where each party in a project is separately insured. For this reason a move towards project insurance is recommended. The traditional approach reinforces adversarial attitudes, and even provides incentives for people to overlook or conceal risks in an attempt to avoid or transfer responsibility.A contingency within the GMP covers unexpected but justifiable costs, and a contingency above the GMP allows for client changes.

This means that the designer can not take advantage of suppliers’ or contractors’ knowledge of build ability or maintenance requirements and the impact these have on sustainability, the total cost of ownership or health and safety .This risk analysis was able to facilitate, through its multi-dimensional approach to a critical examination of a construction problem, the identification of an effective risk management strategy for future construction projects.

The Cost of Building Structure1. IntroductionThe art of architectural design was characterized as one of dealing comprehensively with a complex set of physical and nonphysical design determinants. Structural considerations were cast as important physical determinants that should be dealt with in a hierarchical fashion if they are to have a significant impact on spatial organization and environmental control design thinking.The economical aspect of building represents a nonphysical structural consideration that, in final analysis, must also be considered important. Cost considerations are in certain ways a constraint to creative design. But this need not be so. If something is known of the relationship between structural and constructive design options and their cost of implementation, it is reasonable to believe that creativity can be enhanced. This has been confirmed by the authors’ observation that most enhanced. This has been confirmed by the authors’observation that most creative design innovations succeed under competitive bidding and not because of unusual owner affluence as the few publicized cases of extravagance might lead one to believe. One could even say that a designer who is truly creative will produce architectural excellence within the constraints of economy. Especially today, we find that there is a need to recognize that elegance and economy can become synonymous concepts.Therefore, in this chapter we will set forth a brief explanation of the parameters of cost analysis and the means by which designers may evaluate the overall economic implications of their structural and architectural design thinking.The cost of structure alone can be measured relative to the total cost of building construction. Or, since the total construction cost is but a part of a total project cost, one could include additional consideration for land(10~20percent),finance and interest(100~200 percent),taxes and maintenance costs (on the order of20 percent).But a discussion of these so-called architectural costs is beyond the scope of this book, and we will focus on the cost of construction only.On the average, purely structural costs account for about 25 percent of total construction costs, This is so because it has been traditional to discriminate between purely structural and other so-called architectural costs of construction. Thus, in tradition we find that architectural costs have been taken to be those that are notnecessary for the structural strength and physical integrity of a building design.“Essential services”forms a third construction cost category and refers to the provision of mechanical and electrical equipment and other service systems. On the average, these service costs account for some 15 to 30 percent of the total construction cost, depending on the type of building. Mechanical and electrical refers to the cost of providing for air-conditioning equipment and he means on air distribution as well as other services, such as plumbing, communications, and electrical light and power.The salient point is that this breakdown of costs suggests that, up to now, an average of about 45 to 60 percent of the total cost of constructing a typical design solution could be considered as architectural. But this picture is rapidly changing. With high interest costs and a scarcity of capital, client groups are demanding leaner designs. Therefore, one may conclude that there are two approaches the designer may take towards influencing the construction cost of building.The first approach to cost efficiency is to consider that wherever architectural and structural solutions can be achieved simultaneously, a potential for economy is evident. Since current trends indicate a reluctance to allocate large portions of a construction budget to purely architectural costs, this approach seems a logical necessity. But, even where money is available, any use of structure to play a basic architectural role will allow the nonstructural budget to be applied to fulfill other architectural needs that might normally have to be applied to fulfill other architectural needs that might normally have to be cut back. The second approach achieves economy through an integration of service and structural subsystems to round out one’s effort to produce a total architectural solution to a building design problem.The final pricing of a project by the constructor or contractor usually takes a different form. The costs are broken down into (1) cost of materials brought to the site, (2)cost of labor involved in every phase of the construction process, (3)cost of equipment purchased or rented for the project, (4)cost of management and overhead, and(5) profit. The architect or engineer seldom follows such an accurate path but should perhaps keep in mind how the actual cost of a structure is finally priced and made up.Thus, the percent averages stated above are obviously crude, but they can suffice to introduce the nature of the cost picture. The following sections will discuss the range of these averages and then proceed to a discussion of square footage costs andvolume-based estimates for use in rough approximation of the cost of building a structural system.2. Percentage EstimatesThe type of building project may indicate the range of percentages that can be allocated to structural and other costs. As might be expected, highly decorative or symbolic buildings would normally demand the lowest percentage of structural costs as compared to total construction cost. In this case the structural costs might drop to 10~15percent of the total building cost because more money is allocated to the so-called architectural costs. Once again this implies that the symbolic components are conceived independent of basic structural requirements. However, where structure and symbolism are more-or-less synthesized, as with a church or Cathedral, the structural system cost can be expected to be somewhat higher, say, 15and20 percent (or more).At the other end of the cost scale are the very simple and nonsymbolic industrial buildings, such as warehouses and garages. In these cases, the nonstructural systems, such as interior partition walls and ceilings, as will as mechanical systems, are normally minimal, as is decoration, and therefore the structural costs can account for60 to 70 percent, even 80 percent of the total cost of construction.Buildings such as medium-rise office and apartment buildings(5~10 stories)occupy the median position on a cost scale at about 25 percent for structure. Low and short-span buildings for commerce and housing, say, of three or four stories and with spans of some 20 or 30 ft and simple erection requirements, will yield structural costs of 15~20 percent of total building cost.Special-performance buildings, such as laboratories and hospitals, represent another category. They can require long spans and a more than average portion of the total costs will be allocated to services (i.e., 30~50 percent), with about 20 percent going for the purely structural costs. Tall office building (15 stories or more) and/or long-span buildings (say, 50 to 60 ft) can require a higher percentage for structural costs (about 30to 35percent of the total construction costs),with about 30 to 40 percent allocated to services.In my case, these percentages are typical and can be considered as a measure of average efficiency in design of buildings. For example, if a low, short-span and nonmonumental building were to be bid at 30 percent for the structure alone, one could assume that the structural design may be comparatively uneconomical. On theother hand, the architect should be aware of the confusing fact that economical bids depend on the practical ability of both the designer and the contractor to interpret the design and construction requirements so that a low bid will ensue. Progress in structural design is often limited more by the designer’s or contractor’slack of experience, imagination, and absence of communication than by the idea of the design. If a contractor is uncertain, he will add costs to hedge the risk he will be taking. It is for this reason that both the architect and the engineer should be well-versed in the area of construction potentials if innovative designs ate to be competitively bid. At the least the architect must be capable of working closely with imaginative structural engineers, contractors and even fabricators wherever possible even if the architecture is very ordinary. Efficiency always requires knowledge and above all imagination, and these are essential when designs are unfamiliar.The foregoing percentages can be helpful in approximating total construction costs if the assumption is made that structural design is at least of average (of typical) efficiency. For example, if a total office building construction cost budget is ﹩5,000,000,and 25 percent is the “standard”to be used for structure, a projected structural system should cost no more than ﹩1,250,000.If a very efficient design were realized, say, at 80 percent of what would be given by the “average” efficient design estimate stated above the savings,(20 percent),would then be﹩250,000 or 5 percent of total construction costs ﹩5,000,000.If the ﹩5,000,000 figure is committed, then the savings of ﹩250,000 could be applied to expand the budget for “other” costs.All this suggests that creative integration of structural (and mechanical and electrical) design with the total architectural design concept can result in either a reduction in purely construction design concept can result in either a reduction in purely construction costs or more architecture for the same cost. Thus, the degree of success possible depends on knowledge, cleverness, and insightful collaboration of the designers and contractors.The above discussion is only meant to give the reader an overall perspective on total construction costs. The following sections will now furnish the means for estimating the cost of structure alone. Two alternative means will be provided for making an approximate structural cost estimate: one on a square foot of building basis, and another on volumes of structural materials used. Such costs can then be used to get a rough idea of total cost by referring to the “standards” for efficient design givenabove. At best, this will be a crude measure, but it is hoped that the reader will find that it makes him somewhat familiar with the type of real economic problems that responsible designers must deal with. At the least, this capability will be useful in comparing alternative systems for the purpose of determining their relative cost efficiency.3. Square-foot EstimatingAs before, it is possible to empirically determine a “standard” per-square-foot cost factor based on the average of costs for similar construction at a given place and time. more-or-less efficient designs are possible, depending on the ability of the designer and contractor to use materials and labor efficiently, and vary from the average.The range of square-foot costs for “normal” structural systems is ﹩10 to ﹩16 psf. For example, typical office buildings average between ﹩12 and ﹩16 psf, and apartment-type structures range from ﹩10 to ﹩14.In each case, the lower part of the range refers to short spans and low buildings, whereas the upper portion refers to longer spans and moderately tall buildings.Ordinary industrial structures are simple and normally produce square-foot costs ranging from ﹩10 to ﹩14,as with the more typical apartment building. Although the spans for industrial structures are generally longer than those for apartment buildings, and the loads heavier, they commonly have fewer complexities as well as fewer interior walls, partitions, ceiling requirements, and they are not tall. In other words, simplicity of design and erection can offset the additional cost for longer span lengths and heavier loads in industrial buildings.Of course there are exceptions to these averages. The limits of variation depend on a system’s complexity, span length over “normal” and special loading or foundation conditions. For example, the Crown Zellerbach high-rise bank and office building in San Francisco is an exception, since its structural costs were unusually high. However, in this case, the use of 60 ft steel spans and free-standing columns at the bottom, which carry the considerable earthquake loading, as well as the special foundation associated with the poor San Francisco soil conditions, contributed to the exceptionally high costs. The design was also unusual for its time and a decision had been made to allow higher than normal costs for all aspects of the building to achieve open spaces and for both function and symbolic reasons. Hence the proportion of structural to total cost probably remained similar to ordinary buildings.The effect of spans longer than normal can be further illustrated. The “usual” floorspan range is as follows: for apartment buildings,16 to 25 ft; for office buildings,20 to 30 ft; for industrial buildings,25 to 30 ft loaded heavily at 200 to 300 psf; and garage-type structures span,50 to 60 ft, carrying relatively light(50~75 psf) loads(i.e., similar to those for apartment and office structures).where these spans are doubled, the structural costs can be expected to rise about 20 to 30 percent.To increased loading in the case of industrial buildings offers another insight into the dependency of cost estimates on “usual” standards. If the loading in an industrial building were to be increased to 500psf(i.e., two or three times), the additional structural cost would be on the order of another 20 to 30 percent.The reference in the above cases is for floor systems. For roofs using efficient orthotropic (flat) systems, contemporary limits for economical design appear to be on the order of 150 ft, whether of steel or prestressed concrete. Although space- frames are often used for steel or prestressed concrete. Although space-frames are often used for steel spans over 150 ft the fabrication costs begin to raise considerably.At any rate, it should be recognized that very long-span subsystems are special cases and can in themselves have a great or small effect on is added, structural costs for special buildings can vary greatly from design to design. The more special the form, themore that design knowledge and creativity, as well as construction skill, will determine the potential for achieving cost efficiency.4. Volume-Based EstimatesWhen more accuracy is desired, estimates of costs can be based on the volume of materials used to do a job. At first glance it might seem that the architect would be ill equipped to estimate the volume of material required in construction with any accuracy,and much less speed.But it is possible,with a moderate learning effort,to achieve some capability for making such estimates.V olume-based estimates are given by assigning in-place value to the pounds or tons of steel, or the cubic yards of reinforced or prestressed concrete required to build a structural system. For such a preliminary estimate, one does not need to itemize detailed costs. For example, in-place concrete costs include the cost of forming, falsework, reinforcing steel, labor, and overhead. Steel includes fabrication and erection of components.Costs of structural steel as measured by weight range from ﹩0.50 to ﹩0.70 per pound in place for building construction. For low-rise buildings, one can use stock wide-flange structural members that require minimum fabrication, and the cost couldbe as bow as ﹩0.50 per pound. More complicated systems requiring much cutting and welding(such as a complicated steel truss or space-frame design) can go to ﹩0.70 per pound and beyond. For standard tall building designs (say, exceeding 20 stories),there would typically be about 20 to 30 pounds of steel/psf, which one should wish not to exceed. A design calling for under 20 psf would require a great deal of ingenuity and the careful integration of structural and architectural components and would be a real accomplishment.Concrete costs are volumetric and should range from an in-place low of ﹩150 per cu yd for very simple reinforced concrete work to ﹩300 per cu yd for expensive small quantity precast and prestressed work. This large range is due to the fact that the contributing variables are more complicated, depending upon the shape of the precise components, the erection problems, and the total quantity produced.Form work is generally the controlling factor for any cast-in-place concrete work. Therefore, to achieve a cost of ﹩150 per cu yd, only the simplest of systems can be used, such as flat slabs that require little cutting and much reuse of forms. Where any beams are introduced that require special forms and difficulty in placement of concrete and steel bars, the range begins at ﹩180 per cu yd and goes up to ﹩300.Since, in a developed country, high labor costs account for high forming costs, this results in pressure to use the simplest and most repetitive of systems to keep costs down. It become rewarding to consider the possibility of mass-produced precast and prestressed components, which may bring a saving in costs and\or construction completion time. The latter results in savings due to lower construction financing costs for the contractor plus quicker earnings for the owner.To summarize, the range of cost per cubic yard of standard types of poured-in-place concrete work will average from $150 to $250, the minimum being for simple reinforced work and the maximum for moderately complicated post tensioned work. This range is large and any estimate that ignores the effect of variables above will be commensurately inaccurate.5.SummaryThe estimate and economical design of structure building are important and essential work, which should be valued by all architects and engineers and others.

毕业设计外文文献翻译院系:土木工程与建筑系年级专业:08级工程管理姓名:x学号:xOn the whole process of construction 附件:project cost control指导老师评语:指导教师签名:年月日On the whole process of construction project cost control 【Abstract】: This article mainly introduced the engineering project cost control throughout the whole process of project implementation, including project decision-making, project design, project bidding, project construction and completion of the settlement this five stages.【Keywords】: Project, the construction cost, engineering, project, construction, project costEngineering project cost control throughout the whole process of project implementation, including project decision-making, project design, project bidding, project construction and completion of the settlement this five stages. According to the statistics show that, in the project decision-making stage and design stage, and the influence of construction project cost is a 40% chance-75%; and in construction stage, influence the possibility of construction project cost is only 5%-25%.Obviously, control the cost of the key link is in the project implementation of decision-making and design stage before. And from a stage program speaking, construction management can play a decisive role. To control the engineering cost is in the design phase, project decision stage, stage of construction, project bidding, completed the stage of the settlement construction engineering cost incurred amount of control in the approval within the limit, and correct the deviation of at any time, ensure division breakdown their investment goal the realization, to get the best economic benefit and social benefit.1 whole process cost control each phase of the basic situationThe whole process of construction project cost control can be divided into the following basically five stages:1.1 construction project cost control decision-making stageP roject investment decision is choice and decided to invest action process, is aiming projecton the necessity and feasibility of technical and economic the authentication, correct decision-making is reasonable and the premise to control the engineering cost, including feasibility study, investment estimation, financial foundation estimates and evaluation data. Project investment decision stage cost control and management of the key is:1) Completes the project decision-making before preparation. Comprehensive collecting have material, including equipment operation, equipment technical parameters, the construction market dynamic and other related content of the original records and information. To do the scientific research work and then find out need emphasizes to solve the problems.2) to do a project proposal and feasibility studies reports. Must according to the market demand and development prospects, reasonably determine the scale of the project and construction standards. Two applications should be strong conviction and feasibility. In the fight for early project at the same time, should be completed as soon as possible of the feasibility study.3) science to develop the construction projects of benefit analysis of activities of investment estimate and work. The preparation of investment estimate to have the basis, to be as careful as possible and reasonable. From reality, full consideration to during the project that may arise during the process of all kinds of accidents and unfavorable factors, as well as their cost of the project may produce negative effects, want to consider the market situation and construction of the reserve price during the floating coefficient, like this can make the investment basically accord with the actual and leave room, make the investment estimate really play the role of control the total investment in the project.1.2 project cost control design stageThe government in accordance with the examination and approval according to regulation, design institute of professional elaborate design, the strict control of cost engineers, the engineering construction cost control design stage "trinity" optimal combination. The construction project design is by plans to reality decisive significance of the work phase,design work is one of the important principles to ensure that the design integrity, designed for this work include the design evaluation and comparison, the design scheme optimization design budgetary estimate, the compiling and examination, the list of quantities and control the compiling and price review.1) Reasonable function orientation and reliable design quality, meet the national standards, meet the project function requirement, this is the quality of the design of the four basic requirements. The function of the construction project positioning, first must do with national conditions, reflect the national strength. At the same time, the engineering design must meet the construction procedure in each stage of depth requirements, avoid and prevent "Sanchez" (budget exceeds the estimation, the budget exceeds the budget estimates, the settlement) takes place.2) Optimizing design scheme, effective control of the project cost. The design phase of the project cost control and management is not a simple design institute work content, the construction unit should also actively cooperate, have prior control and active management role. The construction unit in the review of the design unit design documents, first of all the attention to the optimization of design schemes of, should be based on all kinds of index and material to the total plane design, construction space and plane design for analysis. The two analysis of the cost of the project will not only, a major impact on construction and operation and the production, management have a great impact, but also for construction and operation of the production, management has significant correlation. In the choice of technology solutions, we should persist in China from the actual conditions of, in order to improve the benefit of investment for the premise, actively and steadily introducing advanced and reasonable technical scheme and mature new technology, new technology.3) Executes limitation for engineering design. To effectively control the construction cost, should be in the design process of the quota design way. The so-called quota design in accordance with approved reliability is in the study, investment estimation forehead design and construction design, and to guarantee the use function, under the premise of according tothe distribution of after thinning investment quota control, professional design, to try to stop not reasonable to change, in order to ensure that the total investment is not a breakthrough. Decomposition of total investment and project is a total of quota design and effective ways and main method, it is the design stage of the examination will be investment and decomposing the quantity of each professional, and then after thinning the decomposition to each unit engineering and the division of engineering, through the layers of decomposition to realize to the investment quota control and management, but also to achieve to design specifications, design standards, engineering quantity and project budget index, and other aspects of the management and control.Preliminary design must be in the feasibility study stage of investment estimate approval for the bottom line, and through the limitation of the way to control budget not more than the investment estimate, the focus is on the quantities and equipment, material control. So the amount of quota design and shall be in the feasibility study stage of design project examination and equipment, material standard as the basis for a feasibility study stage cannot be determined preliminarily concluded that for certain quantity. For the design, each professional design personnel should conscientiously strengthen project cost consciousness, and strictly according to the limit the decomposition of the design to control the project investment, to ensure that the design according to the limit in the decomposition of the investment to control the project, to secure the use function, under the premise of engineering cost and effort to control project in the limit of. To encourage and promote design personnel well design scheme selection, should introduce a competitive mechanism and implement bidding for the design, make the design units and design personnel increase market competition consciousness, try our best to make a design scheme more attain perfect.1.3 project tendering and bidding and sign a contract stageAnalysis of the specific conditions of the construction project, and according to the quantities bill valuation method, nine ministries to standard prepare the tender documents in the tender documents. Through the bid opening bid assessment, voted for a is able to satisfy the tenderdocuments, the provisions of the comprehensive evaluation standard, 2 it is able to meet the requirements of the tender documents and substantial after the appraisal bids the lowest price, but the bid price below the cost of except the winning bidder. The winning bidder is determined; the bid-winning notice issued in accordance with law, and in accordance with the tender documents and the bid documents of the winning bidder concludes a contract in writing.1) The tender documents to the list of quantities of programming. The list of quantities by the construction bidding, it is to point to by the bid invitation unit to provide a uniform bidding documents (including the quantities bill), bidding unit based on this, according to the tender documents to the list of quantities and the relevant requirements, the construction and the actual situation of the worked the construction organization design, according to the enterprise quota or refer to the competent administrative department of construction of the current consumption quota released and cost management agencies released to the market price of bid price quotation information, and the bid invitation unit selected according to the process of the winning bidder.2) to the list of quantities of law base price. The list of quantities of floor price under standard shall be in strict accordance with the "standard" to prepare to the list of quantities of engineering quantity are and comprehensive project content, according to the market price. Detailed list of engineering quantity of engineering quantity and wrote out the comprehensive project content may not be altered, fluctuation, must be kept and the bidding unit pricing the unity of the caliber. If the list of quantities and prepare the tender of base price is not same unit, should pay attention to release the list of quantities of the bidding documents and establishment of the strike to the list of quantities in the format and contents, description and so on various aspects keeps consistent, avoid from here and the result of failure or tender evaluation an injustice.3) The construction contract choice. The contract type selection should consider the factors include: the project scale and time limit for a project length, project competition, and projectsingle engineering projects are clear degree, the length of time, the project of the external environment factors. In the choice of the contract type, although the developer has the initiative, but the developer can't only consider their own interests, comprehensive consideration of the project shall be of various factors, consider the contractor bear ability, determined by the both parties of the contract type.1.4 project project construction cost controlBecause of project construction cycle is long, the economic relations and laws involving the complex relationship by natural conditions and objective, the great influence, lead to the actual situation of the project and project tendering and bidding situation will be compared has some changes. Therefore, often in engineering change and the contract price adjustment, the engineering claims this stage include the value of the project construction settlement and use fund plan and application.1) Try to control engineering change and the visa. In the project construction process, engineering change and the visa is inevitable, but will be powerful control. Due to the existence of loopholes for construction drawing and any defects and lead to change, except in the design drawings audit strictly when the party should be in the design, consultation, co-examination and technical consultation when carefully examine and check, in order to find the early to eliminate hidden dangers. Change hidden trouble found earlier, may cause loss of the small. So, should as far as possible to the design change control in the design stage initial, especially for those who can seriously affect engineering, more to want to use "down after the first, change" measures solved properly. Even in the construction process, also should strictly according to the visa procedures and provisions, such ability make project cost control effectively.2) Audit strictly engineering construction drawing budget. Supervisors should according to the progress of the construction drawing design plan and the construction of the actual schedule, timely construction drawing budget approved. Beyond the corresponding to budgetand construction drawing budget. Beyond the corresponding to the budget estimates construction drawing design part, will be detailed analysis, find out the cause, and promptly and project principal contact, depending on how to adjust or amend the truth agreed control goals. This is the cost of the project of dynamic control and management.3) into the scene, collect and master information related to the construction, do contract management work in project construction process, the personnel and cost control personnel related to often deeply the construction site, contrast carefully check construction drawings, and to project contract as the basis, the construction site to grasp the dynamic, assist owners to review and appraisal, because of the change of the design, the scene and visa and the additional costs is reasonable.1.5 The final accounts of the completed project phase and after completion engineering warrantyThe final accounts of the completed project is based on real number and currency index for the units of measure, which reflects the comprehensive completed projects start to project completion for all of the delivery of the construction cost, construction achievements and financial situation summary of the documents. Completed the final accounts by, completion financial final accounting statements, project completion figure, and project completion cost analysis of four parts. The quality repair warranty is a kind of after-sales service way, is the quality of contractor responsibility, among this warranty scope involves, period, economic responsibility and warranty costs and expenses processing.1) Audit completed projects compliance with the terms of these contract requirements content, whether acceptance, in the contract, the method of settlement, price basis, fees standard, advocate material price and discount and commitment to the facts are carried out.2) Audit component project and project unit price of fees whether the program specification,and presence of repetition and mistakes.3) Check take cover engineering acceptance record, see if any supervision engineer is signed, the completion of the project completion and whether chart are in agreement.4) Examine the change of the design in the original design of visa is a unit chief sign, whether the construction unit and supervision engineer is signed, the significant change of the design of the original design is the competent department for examination and approval. The above a not meeting the requirements, all can't calculate settlement range.5) Figure, according to the change of the design, completion visa checking the scene of engineering.6) Prepare tally with the actual situation of the completion settlement report, in the strict, reasonable, fairness, justice, and on the basis of the use situation of investment and project cost control management as the necessary analysis and summary.2 the current cost control management problems of researchAt present our country's basic construction system and process can ensure the engineering construction investment is effectively control and management, but in the practice process, there are still many problems to study it, as shown in the various stages of the disjointing of cost control, because of project decision-making and design, project bidding, project implementation and completion settlement auditing the four stages of the cost control and management of the construction units and are competent department, designing units, consulting unit lead implement, "railway, the police a tube, so it is difficult to set up the former control the latter, and the latter influence the former the effective management of the system.2.1 ignore investment stage and design phase of the cost controlAt present some design units in order to meet the time limit for construction unit, in order to drive plan and not enough jobs meticulous, led to construction drawing design depth is not enough, some of the projects (such as decoration parts) and even appeared practices and selection explanation not clear, design and the actual cost budget created serious deviation, budget documents are not complete, etc. Some design units do not follow the principle of value engineering, optimization design, but seek high security and design fees, even with the owner in collusion, cause low quoted price is high and settlement.2.2 The bidding phase don't respect the market rules, and blind low prices and wanton expand specified materials and equipmentMainly lies in:One is the provisions in some areas after the appraisal use only the minimum bid price method. When the bid assessment by the bidders from low to high price in the sort of bid documents detailed review, judge a qualified three bidders according to quote from low to high order from the candidate. Forced many construction enterprises to make "low price, high price list claim" strategy. Some even publicly threatened: "into do not come is your fierce, came in is my fierce", this is against the principle of good faith, cause the construction bidding process, tender offer for professionals often breaks the glasses. 2 it is part of the owner ignore the objective law of the construction market to expand the party a appoints supply materials and equipment, and the scope of the contract for narrow, increasing the owner and the construction units of conflict.2.3 construction stage design, blind change visa, result in a claim, cause cost increaseBelow the cost, in order to change the state of losses, a construction enterprise is often use time limit for stress condition, forcing the owner to accept its change design scheme, replacement of materials required refiners, even and owner hook connect, will see conditions and other projects QianZhengLiang increase several times, cause loss of state-owned assets; 2 it is construction unit and a few design units collude in collusion, in construction process manufacturing a lot of the change of the design, the construction unit of high prices claim for convenience.2.4 completed project cost audit settlement stage management confusionAccording to the relevant laws and regulations, engineering audit charge is according to the settlement and subtract the forehead charges, consulting unit to high fees, often WanHuaYang reduce quantity, and even apply mechanically norm, multiplied by less than 1 unit price coefficient. And the contractor on the buy off the cost intermediary organizations personnel, quantity and subtract the forehead of the false report.3 whole process cost control management advice3.1 design units should be held responsible for their own reasons of the value of the project providedIn view of the current social intermediary cost consultation institutions participated in the design stage cost control of the few features, set up bear related civil liability constraint mechanism, make design institute has a relatively independent responsibility restraint. Suchas design depth is not enough, the design drawing contradictory between different work, the conflicts between; The design of the function and will be setting is unreasonable, affecting the normal use, which caused economic losses, design units shall bear the corresponding civil liabilities.3.2 The bid assessment methods, and the bid evaluation committee and budget control price reviewThe government investment projects, the comprehensive assessment shall be allowed to bid evaluation method, and should also set the lower bid price quotations, a bidder below lowest limit of the offer, shall be null standard treatment. The price for budget control review to scientific and reasonable can't raise or floating, to control the price discount published, the competent construction administrative departments should give correct. At the same time for budget control in the price of illegal or irregular and infringe upon the lawful rights and interests of the parties bidding behavior to deal with according to law.According to the contract period, 3.3 contract signed contract amount is fixed costThe contract is throughout the entire cost control, the soul of the stand or fall of contract signing, directly influence subsequent cost control of performance, because both sides sign the is fixed unit price or a fixed unit price contract, recent construction engineering material market price volatility is frequent, make the developer and the contractor can predict market price risk, leading to the price of work valuation dispute increase, part of the project under construction is already seriously affected the construction progress and quality of the project. In order to safeguard the legitimate interests of the contracting parties, ensure the construction market stability and development, according to the national nine ministries and the standard construction bidding documents "(2007 edition) general provisions of contract provisions of international engineering construction bidding risk sharing practices, the proposal of theconstruction engineering construction of valuation price 0-5% risk sharing.3.4 construction stages invite professional construction cost consultation company site trackingIn order to strengthen the dynamic cost management, the employer may, the cost of hiring a professional consulting company, make full use of their familiar with the business, rich experience and understanding market and specialization and socialization and advantage, strict control engineering change, strengthen economic management visa.【Summary】:Above all, it is known that the investment control in the construction of the key is, three key points is feasibility research, design and contract, solve the problem that is the core of control and management. The engineering cost control and management is a dynamic process, in each project construction phase, may be because the market conditions change or other reasons, the engineering investment determination and the engineering cost control tends to be complicated, this needs will project cost management to meet both overall and selectively. To recognize cost and time limit, the quality of the dialectical relationship between, unity, in different stages of the project implementation, cost consultation with staff always to control the engineering cost economic consciousness, careful analysis and make full use of all kinds of information in the construction period, grasp the market pulse, become passive to active, and through the parties positive efforts to work, avoid or reduce the loss of the construction funds, maximize construction funds for the benefit of investment.【References】:[1] WeiRuiLi, WangXuePeng.

中英文资料对照外文翻译Design phase of the project costmanagementAbstractProject cost management is the basic contents to determine reasonable and effective control of the project cost. Described the current stage of the project cost management situation on the strengthening of the various stages of construction cost management of the importance of and raised a number of key initiatives.Keywords:cost of the construction project cost management status investment decision phase of the design phase of the implementation phase of the cost management in a market economy,Even under the WTO and China's accession to the world community, China's construction industry how to effectively control construction cost of the construction and management of an important component part. However, the current budget for the construction projects - estimate, budget, Super budget accounts for the "super three" is still widespread and that eventually led to a serious loss of control of project investment. Project cost management is the basic contents to determine reasonable and effective control of the project cost.As the project cost to the project runs through the entire process, stage by stage can be divided into Investment Decision stage, the design and implementation phases. The so-called Project Cost effective control is the optimization of the construction plans and design programs on the basis of in the building process at all stages, use of certain methods and measures to reduce the cost of the projects have a reasonable control on the scope and cost of the approved limits.Engineering and cost management work of the current status of project cost management system was formed in the 1950s, 1980s perfect together. Performance of the country and directly involved in the management of economic activities. Provisions in the design stage to different estimates or budget preparation as well as government; Nothing relevant departments to formulate a budget, content, methods and approval, the budget will provide the fixed cost of equipment and materials and fixed price of the budget preparation, approval, management authority, and so on.With the historical process, after recovery, reform and development, formed a relatively complete budget estimate of quota management system. However, as the socialist market economic development, the system's many problems have also exposed. Generally speaking, the budget estimate is based on direct participation in the management of national economic activity as a precondition. enterprise is not the actual economic entities. Due to the characteristics of the planned economy, and, at the time under the conditions of productivity, will inevitably become a shortage in the economy.In severe shortage of commodities under the conditions, as long as a certain level of investment, will be certain outputs. In this environment, the project planning and technical argumentation there can be no economic analysis. State control of the project cost constitute key factors equipment and materials prices, wages and taxes of artificial distribution. In this relatively stable economic environment, the budget estimate for the system approved project cost, help the government to carry out investment plans to play a major role.As the socialist market economic system established, requires us to predict project investment and control. In recent years, international investment project developed to the requirements of prior pre-control and in the middle of control. China, the traditional practice in an objective light on the cause decision-making, implementation heavy, light the economy and technology,First, the consequences of victimization,Due to the technical personnel of the project technical and economic concepts and a weak awareness of cost control, costmanagement makes the quality difficult to raise. Project Cost control is difficult to achieve long-term goals.Second, the various stages of the project management view of the above circumstances, My first academia in the 1980s made the whole process of cost management and control concept, building departments will study the feasibility of projects and the budgets and final accounts to two extended at the request of the corresponding regulations put our cost management concepts and methods referred to a new height.Our task now is to be modern and cost management in line with China's national conditions of the market economy system goal, learn from the advanced experience of the developed countries, and establish sound market economic laws of project cost management system, efforts to increase the project cost levels. An investment decision-making phase of the project cost management construction project investment decision-making stage is proposed project proposals; conduct a feasibility study to determine investment estimation and the final preparation of design task. At this stage, the project's technical and economic decision-making, of the construction project cost of the project after the completion of the economic benefits have a decisive influence, The construction cost is an important stage control.China's current stage of the project cost for the project management for the purpose of clearing price, and focusing only on the construction process of cost control, neglected before the start of the project investment decision-making stage of cost control. Investment decision-making phase of investment projects is estimated an important basis for decision-making. It has a direct impact on national economic and financial analysis of the results of the reliability and accuracy. Because of this phase is the preliminary work of projects, the information can not be fully, comparable works more or less that information accumulated relatively small, estimated inadequate and unscientific. Makes project cost management and cost workers is difficult at this stage do something.The various stages of the project cost control in the decision-making phaseproject cost control. Right project planning phase of the cost, many owners have the wrong understanding that the lower the cost the better. Cost control is not a unilateral issue, and should be a number of factors, a combination of practical, comprehensive consideration. The construction project investment decision-making stage, the project's technical and economic decision-making, Cost of the project after the completion of the project and the economic benefits, with a decisive role in project cost control is an important stage, rationally define and control the direction of the project cost of accurate positioning and building Optimization guiding role.In the decision-making phase of the most important is to do a good job feasibility study, the work is done well, returns on investment and can form a good proportion. Otherwise, invest more, less effective, resulting in loss of control and waste of investment.At present, some of the projects planned the owners of departure from the subjective desires of a feasibility study on the lack of scientific proof. Feasibility Study untrue, false or engineering functions obtaining the approval of their superiors, actually put into the feasibility study will be awarded in the study for the project after the smooth functioning buried a lot of hidden problems, lead to insufficient follow-up funds for the project and had to extend the time limit so that the project could not have planned the use of cost-effective, even become hopeless completion of the beard works.Therefore, in order to phase in the investment decision-making effectively control construction costs, we must do the following aspects:ⅰImplementation of the construction project and corporate accountability, Construction of the project from planning to implementation of the entire process and the use of the funds to repay responsibilities to the people. in addition to establishing a legal system and the project supervision matching mechanism by the departments in charge of the industry and supervision departments for setting up a monitoring group to oversee the use of funds.ⅱA realistic approach to market analysis, to avoid the blindness of the projectdecision-making, reduces and reduces investment risk. Fully consider building projects in the future market competitiveness, design task more scientific and reliability.ⅲCapital financing must have a formal commitment document, the parties must do investment funds in place, and funds must have documents to ensure that the project can be approved after the scheduled implementation. To the various loan conditions should be carefully analyzed to minimize the burden of interest and repayment pressure.ⅳTo strengthen the engineering geology, hydrology, geology and land, water, electricity, transport, environmental projects such as external conditions for the work of depth to make the investment estimate there are sufficient grounds.Taking extensive investigation and research, comparison of similar projects, seriously functional analysis, multi-program comparison and choice. After full technical appraisal and economic evaluation, and the final technologically advanced, functional and reliable. Reasonable economic projects, thus calculate a more accurate and realistic estimation of the amount of investment, so that the project cost from the start positioning in a more reasonable level.The design phase of the project cost control for a long time, China's building control very effective, - investment projects is not uncommon, this will affect owners of investment returns, it adds to the owners and within budget, as well as difficulties in fund owners, the impact on the future management or the owners make payments in arrears, and so on. Hence, the control of the project cost is of great significance, however the project cost is the primary means of control design,Currently most of the property owners in the design stage seldom works on cost control, and they found that the cost of the design will not have a great impact, it is wrong, on the contrary, Design phase of the project cost control is the most important step. Because it determines engineering design, construction methods, materials and equipment types, models of the project cost is of critical significance, design optimization phase of the program or minor changes, project cost will have asignificant impact, Design phase of the project cost control of the total project cost of 70%. Following is how to control the project from design to create the Law: ⅰAs the owners must design, the design selected on the quality level is a direct impact on the quality of product design level, and the design quality products in the level of direct influence on the pricing of the works. Different design units on the same project design are different. the same item of different design institute works between certain aspects of the project cost on the existence of differences between, We assume that with a design from two different design institute to design, Construction plans after the completion of a requested advisory unit cost to do the budget, certainly different design institute the total cost of the project is absolutely not the same, and most of the difference between the two over 10% even more than 30%, and not necessarily high cost than the design of low cost, and good design is often low cost, We all know that different people have different design styles and different levels, the design works naturally, therefore chosen to design units is the control on the first step. Through tender to select the design of the units is a good method, the tender documents to elaborate on this particular aspect of the requirements, cost control targets, and so on.2设计阶段的工程造价控制长期以来,我国建筑控制很有效,因此,控制工程造价具有重要意义, 但工程造价的主要方法是控制设计。
