On the development of China's engineering cost consulting industry?

China's engineering cost consulting industry has gradually developed with the reform of infrastructure investment management system. With the continuous reform of various systems, we are faced with many problems. By analyzing the shortcomings in the development of China's engineering cost consulting industry, this paper probes into the countermeasures to improve its international competitiveness. close

1 advantages of China engineering cost consulting industry?

1. 1 localization feature?

China's engineering cost consulting enterprises are familiar with the basic national conditions of China, and have a better understanding of China's economic and technological development level, domestic resource distribution and domestic consumers. At the same time, they are more familiar with China's investment environment, industry management system and relevant laws and regulations, and keep in touch with the construction unit and construction unit, which is the unique advantage of China engineering cost consulting enterprises. ?

1.2 Strong engineering survey and design ability?

Some engineering cost consulting companies in China are transformed from engineering survey and design units and distributed in various industries and regions, with strong engineering survey and design strength. Developed countries have relatively complete industrial systems, high degree of resource development and relatively few large-scale projects. China is a developing country with a vast territory, and there are relatively many large and special projects, such as the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the West-East Gas Transmission Project and the Three Gorges Project. The construction of these projects has greatly enriched the practical experience of Chinese engineering consulting companies in large and special projects. ?

1.3 low labor cost?

The cost of consulting enterprises is mainly reflected in the labor cost. The labor price in China is relatively low, which makes the engineering cost consulting enterprises in China more competitive than those abroad. ?

2. What are the problems in the engineering cost consulting industry in China?

2. 1 The market is underdeveloped and lacks a fair competition mechanism?

At present, most of the institutions engaged in engineering cost consulting business in China are "decoupled and restructured" by the original competent departments and enterprises sponsored by large enterprises and institutions, and monopolize the engineering cost consulting business in their own regions, departments and industries through administrative intervention and relationship competition, so the phenomenon of "abusing power for personal gain" and "black-box operation" often occurs, which leads to the failure of fair competition in the engineering cost consulting industry and is not conducive to the improvement of the engineering cost consulting market. Moreover, the organization of engineering cost consulting industry has not been established for a long time, and some basic industry management systems such as unified practice norms, business supervision methods and charging standards have not yet been established; Many practice institutions have irregular internal management, unstable teams, weak basic management and lack of effective restraint and supervision mechanism for employees; Lack of unified professional ethics, weak risk awareness and poor sense of responsibility of employees have greatly reduced the objectivity and impartiality of the cost consulting industry. ?

2.2 The enterprise is small in scale, narrow in business scope, single in service variety and weak in overall strength?

At present, there are more than 4,000 engineering cost consulting institutions in China, most of which are small in scale, single in service, weak in overall strength and limited in business scope. Cost consultation only serves a certain stage of the construction project. For example, investment estimation, or project (approximate) calculation and pre-tender estimate, or project settlement audit. As a result, a number of cost consulting agencies participate in the service and management of the same construction project from project initiation to completion and delivery, and these cost consulting agencies do not communicate with each other, technical data are blocked, and information resources cannot be shared, resulting in repeated investment by the construction unit, wasting resources and increasing costs. Due to the failure to effectively control and reasonably determine the whole process of construction projects in time, a large number of "three super" projects have appeared, which exceed the budgetary estimate, budgetary estimate and settlement, and the investment in construction projects is seriously out of control, resulting in great waste of manpower, material resources and financial resources. ?

2.3 The development of cost consulting business is unbalanced, and the quality of employees needs to be improved?

The engineering cost consulting industry is a knowledge-intensive "think tank industry" and a talent competition industry. Professionals engaged in engineering cost consultation should be compound talents with economic, legal and management knowledge based on engineering technology. However, at present, there is no strict knowledge system restriction for people engaged in this industry in China. Employees in cost consulting institutions generally have narrow professional knowledge, wrong majors, older age, more part-time jobs and more front names. It is only satisfied with the traditional simple budget estimation work such as map recognition, calculation, quota formulation, conversion, price selection and summary. They generally lack systematic knowledge and comprehensive coordination and management ability in economy, commerce and law, and are still weak in market research, economic analysis and risk prevention. They can't provide customers with efficient, high-quality and all-round services, and they haven't reached the level of determining and controlling the whole process of construction projects. ?

3. What threats does China's engineering cost consulting industry face?

3. 1 threats from similar institutions abroad?

After China's entry into WTO, China's construction market and engineering cost consulting market have allowed the establishment of wholly foreign-owned engineering cost consulting enterprises. Because foreign consultation has formed a standardized mechanism in market competition, it has great advantages in market operation ability, management level and capital. but I ...

China's engineering cost consulting industry started late and its development in all aspects is still immature. ?

3.2 The threat of substitute producers?

The rapid development of economy and technology provides new opportunities for engineering cost consulting enterprises, but it also brings many new situations and new problems in business cooperation and competition, which challenges the adaptability of engineering consulting enterprises. At the same time, the intersection of many industries makes the boundary of engineering cost consulting industry more blurred, and the traditional field is threatened by "invasion". At present, some large accounting firms and management companies are gradually infiltrating their business into the engineering consulting field. These consulting companies have certain advantages in the competition of "marginal market" by virtue of their unique professional background and quality. In addition, the general contracting of engineering projects will also threaten some business of engineering cost consultation. ?

4. The development and countermeasures of engineering cost consulting industry in China?

4. 1 actively set up a comprehensive cost consulting organization to improve the overall business level and enhance the competitive strength?

Under the condition of market economy, engineering cost consulting units should be familiar with and master the relevant laws and regulations, policies, technologies and economic standards, understand the international and domestic market economic information, and independently complete the engineering cost estimation, determination and management business entrusted by the construction party to meet the needs of integrating with the international engineering cost consulting market. Encourage industry reorganization, merger, alliance and optimization of resource allocation, build a comprehensive cost consulting institution with strength and multi-functional services, provide customers with high-quality services with high efficiency and value for money, establish their own corporate image in the market competition, and create a unique cost consulting brand. ?

4.2 Broaden the business scope of cost consultation and implement the whole process management of project cost?

Broadening the scope of engineering cost consulting business means extending the cost consulting business to the whole process of service construction projects, providing clients with all-round and whole-process engineering cost consulting services, and comprehensively improving the service level and quality of cost consulting through practice to meet the needs of international cost consulting market competition. ?

4.3 Establish a high-quality cost consulting team?

The engineering cost engineer should be a compound talent who knows not only engineering technology and economy, but also management and law, with rich practical experience and good professional ethics. Traditional personnel who are irresponsible afterwards will be eliminated by the times only by compiling the project budget. Training and re-education plans must be made for employees and their implementation must be supervised. At the same time, the corresponding assessment and examination system of practical problem handling and judgment ability should be formulated, so that the professional knowledge and practical skills of employees can be continuously updated and improved. At the same time, we should also emphasize strengthening professional ethics education and legal education to promote the continuous improvement of the overall quality of the engineering cost consulting team. In addition to regular continuous training, we should also pay attention to domestic and international exchanges, and through international exchanges and cooperation, we can understand and master the international engineering cost technology, regulations, management system and its development trend, so as to better integrate with the international community. ?

China's engineering cost consulting industry will inevitably face many difficulties and challenges in the development process, which will directly affect the survival and development of the entire cost consulting industry. In this regard, the engineering cost consulting industry should study and discuss the development direction and strategy of the industry from the perspective of developing the whole cost consulting industry, and continuously strengthen its international competitiveness in the future. I hope this article can give some thoughts in this regard. ?
