Study Of University Construction Projects Cost Control

As one of three control objectives for the construction project, cost control directly impacts on the investment effect of the construction investment. But at present, there are still many problems in cost management of construction projects in colleges and universities, such as the inaccuracy of project decision, poor design, poor control of the construction tender, violation of the basic procedures for project construction, casual change. Theses problems result in serious "three exceeding", which are budgetary estimate exceeding estimate, budgetary exceeding budgetary estimate and final estimate exceeding budgetary. Therefore, how to control cost and improve the economic and social benefits of construction projects is one of focuses of construction management in colleges and universities currently.This paper comprehensively analyses of the stages of project decision, design, bidding, construction,and completion settlement of the project, highlighting the critical control points at each stage, emphasizing the whole process control concepts, on the basis of summarizing home and abroad the theories and experience in project cost management, combined with the present characteristics of cost control of construction projects in colleges and universities, using methods of the literature, theoretical analysis and case analysis In decision-making stage, colleges and universities should make mid long term investment planning, prepare preliminary research work, determine reasonable scale of the project, and make investment estimation to ensure a rational decision-making. In design stage, they should actively promote the design tender to select the optimal designer, paying attention to the limited design, combining technical feasibility and economic feasibility. In the implementation process, they should optimize implementation method, and should strengthen managing the project change and on-site verification, using the value engineering management theory, to make good settlement and prevent overestimation.Meanwhile, in order to achieve better control of the whole process, we must change the traditional post-audit, static audit, and introduce the whole process tacking audit in the management of construction projects in colleges and universities. We should move audit forward, and implement dynamical and tacking audit. With practical examples this paper studies and analyses main tasks of the tacking audit, responsibilities of each party and the basic work flow. This paper also gives prominence to practical effects and the economic benefits of tacking audit in project change and on-site verification, and proposes methods to solve the current problems of the tacking audit.
