Features: This book is composed of three parts: the Principle Part, the Planning Part, and the Control Part. It elaborates on the basic principles of construction cost management, including the concept, main content, and development history of construction cost management, the composition of engineering costs, and the basis for engineering estimation. It introduces the theory of construction cost planning, engineering measurement rules, and the preparation methods for investment estimation, preliminary design estimate, and construction drawing budget. It discusses the methods and measures for dynamic control of construction cost during the investment decision-making stage, design stage, procurement stage, construction stage, and completion acceptance stage. It explores the application of computer-aided systems in construction cost management and includes examples of construction drawings and budget documents. This book retains the features of the edition while enriching its content in breadth and depth. It has been adjusted according to the new developments in China's cost management industry, including the composition of building and installation project costs, the calculation rules for building area, the approval of feasibility study reports, the settlement methods for project prices, and the management methods for quality assurance deposits. It also adds the method of bill of quantities pricing and examples to meet the needs of a broad readership. This book can serve as a textbook for engineering management majors and related professional courses in civil engineering at universities and colleges, as well as a reference for various engineering technicians and managers.
