Ten major issues in the development of whole process engineering consulting (top)

After the Opinions on Promoting the Continuous and Healthy Development of the Construction Industry by the General Office of the State Council in 2017 proposed to "improve the organization mode of engineering construction, accelerate the implementation of general contracting, and cultivate the whole-process engineering consulting", the whole-process engineering consulting started to develop as an emerging mode.

Unlike the traditional engineering construction organization mode which is subject to administrative division, market division and industrial division, the whole process engineering consulting can cover the technical support and services for the whole life cycle of engineering construction such as project planning, planning, investigation, design, bidding, costing, supervision, construction, etc. Its application can help to break the barriers of engineering construction and promote the improvement of the engineering construction organization mode.

Existing consulting, surveying, design, supervision, cost and other engineering consulting units have certain professional and technical capabilities, some of which provide the whole process of engineering consulting services, and even change to the whole process of engineering consulting units, is the main path to cultivate the whole process of engineering consulting. Therefore, in view of China's consulting, surveying, design, supervision, cost and other engineering consulting units of the development of the status quo, how to organize the whole process of consulting in the short term, how to develop the whole process of engineering consulting in the long term, has become the current top design should focus on exploring the two major issues.

1, the whole process of engineering consulting services form

"Building and municipal infrastructure construction projects, the whole process of engineering consulting services technical standards (draft)" puts forward two organizational modes: the whole process of engineering consulting services should be undertaken by a consulting unit with the appropriate qualifications and capabilities of the engineering consulting units, but also by a number of engineering consulting units with the appropriate qualifications and capabilities to It can also be undertaken by several engineering consulting units with appropriate qualifications and capabilities in the form of a consortium. The former can be summarized as "integration" form, the latter corresponds to the "consortium" form.

In addition, Guangdong, Shaanxi and other places have piloted the "1 + N" form. For example, according to the "Shaanxi Province, the whole process of engineering consulting services guidelines (for trial implementation)", "1 + N" form by a consulting enterprise to undertake construction project management and one or more professional consulting services, "1" refers to project management, "" N "refers to professional consulting services. N" refers to one or more professional consulting services. This is similar to the "Jiangsu Province, the whole process of engineering consulting services guidelines (for trial implementation) in the procurement of local solutions: by the owner or the owner entrusted a consulting unit responsible for the overall coordination of a number of consulting units to undertake their respective consulting services.

It is not difficult to find, all over the world are used to fully pilot the idea of not setting a high threshold for engineering consulting units to maximize the mobilization of the whole process of engineering consulting services, and can promote the full development of the engineering consulting industry through market means; at the same time, also emphasizes the integration of the whole process of engineering consulting attributes to a business as a service provider or consortium leader, aims to Construct a complete responsibility system for the whole process engineering consulting service organizations.

2, the whole process of engineering consulting development form

Based on the General Office of the State Council "on the promotion of sustained and healthy development of the construction industry," "encouraging investment consulting, survey, design, supervision, bidding agency, cost and other enterprises to take joint operation, mergers and acquisitions and reorganization of the whole process of development of engineering consulting," ideas Previously, the Ministry of Housing and Construction both in the "Opinions on Promoting the Transformation, Upgrading and Innovative Development of the Engineering Supervision Industry" "encourage large-scale supervision enterprises to adopt cross-industry, cross-regional joint operation, mergers and acquisitions and reorganization to develop the whole process of engineering consulting", also in the "Engineering Survey and Design Industry Development" 13th Five-Year Plan

In the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Engineering Survey and Design Industry", "encourage (survey and design) enterprises to adopt joint operation, mergers and acquisitions and reorganization and other ways to develop the whole process of engineering consulting".

The "Technical Standards for Whole-Course Engineering Consulting Services for Housing and Municipal Infrastructure Construction Projects (Draft for Comments)" "encourages engineering consulting units to develop from comprehensive consulting for investment decisions to whole-course consulting for engineering construction", on the one hand, responds to the "Guidelines for Promoting the Development of Whole-Course Engineering Consulting Services of the Ministry of Housing, Urban and Rural Affairs of the National Development and Reform Commission", on the other hand. On the one hand, it responds to the "National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development on promoting the development of the whole process of engineering consulting services guidance" in the "focus on fostering the development of comprehensive consulting for investment decision-making and the whole process of engineering and construction consulting", and on the other hand, it also provides a new way of thinking about the cultivation of the whole process of engineering consultation.

It is not difficult to find that the top-level design relies mainly on engineering consulting units to develop the whole process of engineering consulting units to "lead the competition" effect to drive the development of the whole process of engineering consulting enterprises.

3, engineering insurance consulting

It is worth noting that the "building and municipal infrastructure construction projects throughout the process of engineering consulting services technical standards (draft)" also in the "engineering special consulting" in the provisions of the "engineering insurance consulting

The engineering consulting parties in the Exposure Draft that can carry out engineering insurance program design, assist the principal in evaluating and selecting the preferred insurer, participate in negotiation and signing of the engineering insurance contract, prepare the report on the engineering insurance claim, and assist the principal in implementing the engineering insurance claim can be regarded as the fusion of the engineering insurance and engineering consulting. This also gives the whole process engineering consultant another engineering insurance consulting role: to improve engineering insurance protection benefits, construction quality and operational efficiency by providing engineering insurance risk management and risk control services for insurance companies, reinsurance companies and so on.

Of course, this puts forward higher business strength and talent requirements for the whole process engineering consulting organizations, and also inspires the whole process engineering consulting industry should avoid simple single consulting "splicing" together, to reduce the "lifting the banner of the whole process, to engage in fragmentation of the substance of the" situation. The whole process engineering consulting industry should avoid simply "splicing" single consulting together.

The implementation of the whole process of engineering consulting is an important opportunity for change in the engineering consulting industry, but also a key driving force for the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry. At present, the whole process engineering consulting industry should be based on the shortcomings to make up for and model innovation, to cultivate a number of enterprises with the whole process engineering consulting capabilities, to build a number of high-quality engineering projects of demonstrative significance, to form a demonstration experience that can be drawn on and promoted, and to guide engineering consulting services enterprises to broaden their business areas. In the long run, the cultivation and development of the whole process of engineering consulting should also enhance the core competitiveness of engineering consulting enterprises, to achieve the engineering consulting industry organizational restructuring and optimal combination of resources, and ultimately to promote the supply-side structural reform of the engineering consulting services industry.
