Features: With the deepening of the economic system reform, the competition in the construction market is becoming increasingly fierce. Whether a construction enterprise can win in the competition depends on its credibility and strength. And the strength of the enterprise comes from the projects it completes, whether it can achieve better profits to develop and expand the enterprise. Therefore, it is imperative to improve the economic benefits of projects, which requires the implementation of responsibility cost management and control to achieve the goal of improving efficiency.

This book mainly consists of four parts: Part 1 introduces the concept of responsibility cost and its relationship with construction plans, construction schedules, quality and safety, and on-site layout management. Part 2 introduces the basic work of responsibility cost management and control, as well as the preparation and breakdown of responsibility cost plans. Part 3 introduces the economic accounting and control of responsibility cost. Part 4 introduces the analysis methods, content, and ways to reduce costs in economic activities. This book is highly theoretical and closely integrates theory with practice, making it highly operational. The unique feature of this book is to treat responsibility cost, construction plans, construction schedules, quality and safety, financial management, and economic management as a systematic engineering project, considering them comprehensively and implementing a comprehensive management and control of responsibility cost. This book is suitable for economic management personnel, engineering technicians, and accounting personnel of construction enterprises for project economic learning. It can also serve as a teaching material for students majoring in construction management and financial management at colleges and universities, as well as for adult education and training.
