Abstract

Research purposes: It is urgent to study,analyze and well know the methods for controlling construction project cost to make the the management of construction project cost standardized,systematic and legal as soon as possible,because the problems that the general estimate excessed the estimation,the budget excesses the general estimation and the final settlement of account excesses the budget have existed for long time in China and they seriously trouble the management of construction project cost.Research conclusions:Control and management of construction project cost is a process management from the investment decision-making to the final settlement of account for final completion of construction project and is also a systematic project with no dispensable part.Only all costs of the whole construction works are controlled can the goals can be achieved.A systematic and integrated method should be used for controlling the whole construction process to eliminate the Three Excesses phenomenon,control the construction project cost reasonablly and effectively and save the construction cost to gain the maximum economic and social benefits.
