| With the increasing economicisation of the country,the construction industry is developing rapidly and has made significant achievements.While encouraging the development of construction enterprises,the State has also continued to improve the relevant provisions of the Construction Law and amended the Bidding and Tendering Law as a complementary measure to regulate the informal bidding methods in the market.Against this policy background,construction enterprises have continued to undercut competitive prices in order to obtain access to project construction opportunities,eventually resulting in the phenomenon of winning bids at low prices.In addition,in the post-epidemic era,the rising prices of construction raw materials,labour and machinery and equipment have led to increasing project construction costs and repeatedly compressing the profit space of enterprises,which urgently need to transform and upgrade the internal cost structure of projects in order to enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises.The thesis study aims to optimise the cost control of H Construction Company’s projects,and also hopes to play a certain reference role for other construction projects of the same scale.The thesis adopts literature research method,case study method and questionnaire survey method,taking the project of H construction company as the research object of cost control,firstly,from the perspective of the content and application of project cost control,summarizing the relevant research results at home and abroad from far to near.The current situation of project cost control of H Construction Company is analysed by using questionnaires to collect data and information about the current situation of project cost control,and the problems and causes of cost control are pointed out from the four stages of project management,bidding decision,construction and completion;finally,a specific cost control optimisation plan is designed around the Xiba Night Market project undertaken by H Construction Company,and the cost control optimisation design is carried out for the four stages of project implementation respectively,focusing on the cost control optimisation in the construction stage of the project.The project will focus on the introduction of the earned value method in the construction phase of the project,while proposing safeguards and verifying the effectiveness of its application to form a support for the project cost control work.The innovation of the thesis is that(1)when evaluating the cost control status of H construction company,the cost control is decomposed into four stages: the preliminary management stage,the bidding decision stage,the construction stage and the completion settlement stage,and the problems and causes of cost control in each stage of project construction are analyzed to propose the optimization plan in a targeted manner.(2)The earned value method was introduced in the design of the cost control optimization plan of H construction company,and the effectiveness of the cost control method was verified by comparing the cost data in the early stage of the project and the cost data after the corrective measures.By analyzing and studying the above,the following conclusions are then drawn:(1)Through the analysis of the basic situation of H Construction Company and the current situation of project cost control,it is found that there are different degrees of problems in various aspects of cost control in H Construction Company’s project,which leads to the ineffectiveness of project cost control and cannot well achieve the project benefit objectives;(2)The four stages of the implementation of H Construction Company’s Xiba Night Market project Designing a cost control optimization plan and focusing on the introduction of the earned value method in the project construction phase cost control can guarantee the synchronization of project cost control and schedule control to a certain extent and improve the efficiency of cost management for managers.The corresponding safeguard measures proposed on this basis have a certain promotion effect for improving the cost management system of the project. |
