The Design and Application of Information Data Base of Construction Cost

Abstract:

Under the current construction cost management system, bill of quantity is only applicable to project transaction period and project implementation period, while the earlier stage of project which is decisive for construction cost control still adopts estimation and budget estimate under quota mode. However, hysteresis quality of quota cannot timely reflect the current situations of market, causing the interface failure between the two modes, and even the failure of investment control. The paper, in light of foreign advanced experience and Chinas national condition characteristics, puts forward the design philosophy of information data base of construction cost which is more suitable for valuation with bill quantity, which provides completed construction cost data as basis for the construction cost overall-process management based on bill of quantity.
