Features: With the deepening of global economic integration and China's economic system reform, fixed-asset investment construction has achieved remarkable results in both scale and growth rate. The total investment in fixed assets across society is expected to increase from 3.26 trillion yuan in 2000 to 4.3 trillion yuan by 2005. Industries closely linked to engineering construction, such as real estate, construction, and consulting services like survey and design, will further become hotspots in the socialist market economy. Meanwhile, with the diversification of investment and financing systems, the gradual implementation of project legal entity responsibility, and China's impending entry into the WTO, the construction industry in China will face broader development opportunities and more intense domestic and international market competition. People are increasingly recognizing that engineering consulting services are also one of the key factors driving economic growth in the knowledge economy. Therefore, facing the domestic and international markets of the new century, opportunities and challenges coexist, and consulting services will undoubtedly enter a new period of development. In this process, only by continuously enhancing self-competitive capabilities can one achieve expected success in competition. The whole-process management of engineering construction projects must be carried out in accordance with its objective laws and in a step-by-step manner following the construction procedures. For example: investment opportunity evaluation and planning, preparation of project proposals and feasibility studies (reports), design (or general), preliminary, technical design, and optimization, construction drawing design and changes, preparatory work and procurement in the early stages of construction, signing of contracts for subcontracting and project implementation, completion acceptance and post-project evaluation, etc. For investment control, it is generally accepted that the early planning stage can control and implement optimization for 80% of the total project investment, while the project implementation stage can only monitor 20% of the total investment. Therefore, investment control must start from the project's early planning stage, which is also the purpose of the author in compiling this series of books—Early Planning of Engineering Construction, Contracting and Subcontracting in Engineering Construction, Contract Texts for Engineering Construction, Measurement Rules for Engineering Construction, and Quality Supervision for Engineering Construction. This series comprehensively elaborates on the policy and regulatory documents and implementation principles for project proposals and feasibility studies, the acquisition of "one book and two certificates" in various fields of engineering construction projects, the subcontracting and qualification standards for engineering survey and design (supervision, construction, materials, and equipment), construction projects (related) contracts and international engineering contracts (FIDIC), measurement rules for construction and repair projects and project duration (real estate surveying and sales area of commodity housing, international and Hong Kong region projects), evaluation and safety supervision of construction quality (systems), quality supervision and approved use of construction materials (mechanical products), etc. The series is organized around the project construction process, with rich and detailed information, covering a broad scope, and can serve as a reference guide for construction owners (legal entities of projects), real estate companies, construction enterprises, investment (financing) institutions, project management (supervision) companies, drawing review (calculation) institutions, survey and design units, cost engineering consulting (bidding agency, quality supervision, overseas engineering consulting) institutions, and administrative departments. It is also suitable for project managers, investment strategists, asset (real estate) appraisers, bidding agents, cost (drawing review, supervision, quality supervision) engineers, and professionals in relevant fields, as well as students and trainees in relevant professional colleges (job training) for work and study.
