[Paper Keywords] of construction project cost control and effective measures to investigate Analysis
[Abstract] project is a source of construction enterprises to gain economic benefits, is construction enterprise survival and development of the basic conditions. Construction enterprises how high-quality, efficient completion of project construction task, especially effective in enhancing the management and control of the project’s cost, for better earnings, has become the key to the ability of the business development and growth. This paper expounded cost management control the importance of a comprehensive analysis of the cost management of construction enterprises in China to control the status quo has a strong feasibility of certain kinds of control measures.
Cost control in the construction project of the construction enterprises, the importance of the so-called cost control, broad and narrow. The narrow cost control refers to the production phase of the product cost control
1
that enterprises in the production process using various methods based cost control, set the cost limit for the target, according to the spending limits in costs and expenses, in the implementation of the decision-making process compared to the actual cost and the cost limit, measure the results and effects of the business activities and exceptional management principles to correct the unfavorable differences lower than expected cost limit and reduce costs in absolute terms the process. generalized cost control involves all the activities of the enterprise management through effective measures, in order to achieve the purpose of minimizing the cost, so as to achieve the quality and quantity of the prescribed cost control is the core areas of enterprise cost management. establish and improve the cost control system, give full play to the functions of the cost management an important role in improving the management level and economic benefits.
2. Status quo of construction project cost control 2.1 unreasonable cost control mechanisms in recent years to collect data and information to display,

must adhere to the construction process of the project, responsibilities, rights, obligations combined to essentially meet cost control requirements in the process of the construction of the project, project managers occupy a major position in the cost control system, while enjoying management control of power should shoulder the corresponding obligations, responsibility need to control the cost of construction projects, only the process of the construction projects in these three combine to clear project manager’s job responsibilities, supervise its better to complete their own positions to assume responsibility. addition, the project manager should also regularly check the performance of the employees of the various departments in the cost control process, to carry out an effective performance appraisal fair reward or punish staff outstanding contributions in the day-to-day work and omissions mistakes link, close contact between staff salaries and bonuses should and enterprise efficiency. too prominent location of the project manager, but in most construction companies relying solely on financial management staff to carry out cost control work, staff and did not establish a correct concept of project cost control,
3
cost control in the process of implementation and effective utilization of responsibility, binding rights and obligations between the the unreasonable cost control mechanism led to the staff of the various departments in the actual operation The shirk responsibility, or the division of posts range affect the project cost control.
2.2 Cost management control measures have not been implemented during the operation of most of the construction engineering firms only care about the day-to-day production operations process of construction project cost control results obtained, not enough attention given to the implementation of cost control measures, construction project cost control lack of effective strategic planning part of the construction companies have chosen to use the project’s construction cost control measures still remain on the surface, just human management control of construction project costs, not fundamentally aware of the tender investment, cost of control in decision-making in the design phase The importance is not in the actual operation of the construction project to implement cost control measures,
4
not only can not achieve the expected cost of construction enterprises control objectives, and often the missing link in project cost control process will affect the expected benefits obtained.
2.3 cost control system still exists the need to improve aspects of the socialist economy, culture, and the system has become the normal operation of the basic conditions of the construction enterprises in some construction companies in the development of a cost control system, there are some unscientific and unreasonable phenomenon, first of all, cost control system, there are still a lot of need to be perfected, the construction of cost control system is not in place, the economic and technical analysis out of line, and secondly, not covered by a series of construction projects influencing factors to consider thoroughly all aspects of cost control is not ignore market factors in the development of a cost control system, can not push strong market core competitiveness; Finally, the feasibility of the control measures is low, making system content only from the point of view of how to regulate the cost of
