Research On The Cost Management And Control Of Architectural Project In Construction Stage

Most project demonstrate that the cost added during the decision-making stage and planning stage only occupy a little portion of the whole project cost, and majority of the cost occurs during the construction stage. The construction stage is also the forming stage of the project entity. Hence, how to manage and control the project cost during the construction stage and maximize the project profit is the objective of the dissertation.According to the project cost management situation in our country, the dissertation researches how to manage and control the project cost, especially the cost of the construction stage from the view of the project based on analyzing the research result overseas and inland. Based on analyzing the characteristics of the architectural project, such as complexity, singularity and dynamic, the influence factors, including time limit, material consume, quality cost, project scope, especially the management effectiveness factors are discussed.To reach the objective of project cost management and reduce expense, three principles and four measures must be taken. The three principles are establish cost idea for all the members, set up reasonable organization and build scientific management process and rules The measures are describes as following: schedule the project prudently, execute the schedule strictly, enforce the management and control of the subproject, emphasis the management of the contract. A case study is used to demonstrate how to use the measures discussed above. The case study shows that by total cost management and whole process management, the project cost decrease soundly.
