Features: This book is guided by the principles of implementing national regulations and standards, starting from basic theories and practical applications, primarily introducing relevant theories and calculation and evaluation methods of construction cost management. The book consists of 9 chapters: Chapter 1 introduces the general concepts of construction cost, explaining the basic definitions of price and cost; Chapter 2 covers the composition of construction cost, pricing methods, and relevant content of the Bill of Quantities pricing standards; Chapters 3 to 7 respectively introduce the practical operational content of determining and managing construction cost in different stages of project development, including project decision-making, design, tendering and bidding, construction, and completion settlement; Chapters 8 and 9 discuss the content of engineering finance and relevant regulations of construction cost management, which are essential knowledge for engineers engaged in construction cost management. This book can serve as a teaching material for postgraduate students in civil engineering construction and project management and undergraduate students in civil engineering programs of engineering colleges. It can also be used as a training and learning resource for engineering technicians and managers engaged in construction cost management and control.
