Four major controls of construction project management

Construction project management is a complicated process, including project cost, schedule control, quality and other aspects. So what are the four major controls of construction project management? Let's take a look!

1 do a good job in schedule control.

after the project schedule is made, check, compare, analyze and adjust the implementation progress during the project implementation to ensure that the overall goal of the project schedule can be achieved.

(1) prepare the project schedule.

before the project is implemented, a feasible and scientific schedule must be made in advance. When making the project schedule, we should have certain foresight and foresight, so that the schedule can meet the changed implementation conditions as far as possible. On the basis of understanding and familiarity, make up the project schedule according to the contract requirements. In order to do a good job in the coordination between civil engineering and installation, the installation personnel should be invited to participate in the preparation of the schedule, and the number of people, mechanical equipment and turnover materials should be allocated according to the schedule, so that the invested manpower, equipment and turnover materials can ensure the progress of the project.

(2) Prepare the progress plan of each stage.

in order to ensure the total time limit for a project, it is necessary to implement subsection control, and make monthly plans and ten-day plans (weekly plans) according to the total progress plan, and use the ten-day plan to protect the monthly plan and the monthly plan to protect the total plan, so there must be room for making plans.

(3) Implement dynamic control.

in the process of project implementation, the schedule should be revised and adjusted in time according to the changed situation without affecting the overall schedule. The plan is relative and the change is absolute. Therefore, it cannot be considered that a scientific and reasonable schedule can be made once and for all. In the process of implementation, the implementation situation is continuously tracked and checked, information about the actual progress is collected, the deviation between the actual progress and the planned progress is compared and analyzed, the causes and solutions of the deviation are found out, and the adjustment measures are determined. Therefore, the project management personnel should inspect the site, find out the problems that restrict the construction period in time, study and find out the reasons in time and take decisive measures.

(4) ensure the supply of materials.

materials purchased by party a and the construction unit themselves should be guaranteed to be supplied, and the project department should do a good job in material entry inspection in time. The materials purchased by Party A and the construction unit should meet the requirements of project quality and progress in terms of specifications, varieties, quality and quantity, so as not to affect the project progress due to material problems or rework due to material quality problems.

(5) Pay the project progress payment in time.

in order to carry out the project according to the contract requirements, the construction unit must strictly implement the contract and pay the project progress payment in time according to the contract requirements to ensure the project progress. As a construction unit, we should also ensure the progress and quality of the project according to the contract requirements.

(6) do a good job in time limit for a project claim.

in the process of construction, if the construction period is affected due to the reasons of the construction unit, the construction unit shall issue a visa to postpone the construction period. If the completed project needs to be revised and redone due to the change of use and other requirements put forward by the construction unit, it is necessary to claim not only the construction period but also the project price from the construction unit.

(7) Improve labor efficiency.

improving work efficiency can speed up the project progress without increasing the cost. Therefore, the project management department should adopt all incentive policies that can arouse the enthusiasm of employees and improve work efficiency, and give certain economic rewards to employees who improve work efficiency.

2 do a good job in cost control.

project cost control is the foundation and core of enterprise cost management, which embodies the essential characteristics of construction project management and represents the core content of construction project management. Project cost control is to guide, supervise, adjust and limit the human resources, material resources and expenses consumed by production and operation in the process of project cost formation, so as to control all production expenses within the scope of planned costs and ensure the realization of cost objectives.

The project manager is the first person responsible for project cost control, so he should grasp and analyze the profit and loss situation in time and take effective measures quickly.

2.1 the project manager and the budget officer should participate in the preparation of the tender.

in the bidding stage, the project manager and the budget officer should participate in the preparation of the tender. Because after winning the bid, the project should be completed by the project department, and the project manager and budget officer have the most say in the cost and time limit determined by the tender. Therefore, the project manager and budget officer must participate in the preparation of the tender, which is very important to control the project cost and construction period.

2.2 control labor costs.

The labor quota should be established within the enterprise, and the total amount of labor should be calculated by applying the internal labor quota of the company according to the engineering quantity. If the total amount of labor is well controlled, the labor cost can be well controlled, so as to control the project cost.

2.3 control the amount of materials.

(1) Strengthen material management and strictly adopt the system of materials.

the cost of materials accounts for 6% ~ 7% of the cost of civil engineering, and saving material consumption is the key point to reduce the engineering cost. Therefore, the project department should strengthen material management from the aspects of material procurement, transportation, storage and use, and strictly adopt the material system, so as to achieve careful calculation, save material consumption and reduce project cost.

(2) The auxiliary materials shall be contracted.

All-in-one contract shall be carried out for auxiliary materials that consume a lot on the construction site, such as nail, wire and other auxiliary materials, so as to enhance the workers' awareness of saving.

2.4 mechanical equipment and turnover materials shall be leased.

the lease system can improve the utilization rate of machinery and equipment and turnover materials, and the project department will return them to the leasing company immediately after using them, which will not only shorten the construction period, but also reduce the lease cost.

2.5 formulate advanced, economical and reasonable construction scheme.

in order to shorten the construction period, improve the quality and reduce the cost, it is the key to choose the construction scheme correctly, and strive to find various new processes, technologies and materials to reduce the cost and improve the work efficiency during the construction process. For example, the application of fair-faced concrete not only reduces the painting process, but also saves materials, and at the same time, the engineering quality is guaranteed to avoid cracking and hollowing of the painting layer.

2.6 strictly control the quality to reduce the waste of rework.

during the construction, we should strictly follow the construction plan, contract and specification, strictly control the quality, ensure the project quality, and reduce the waste of labor and materials caused by rework, so as to control the cost.

2.7 control indirect costs and other direct costs.

streamline management organization, reduce management levels and save construction management fees. For example, reducing the management level of branch companies and directly leading the project management department by the head office can save a lot of management expenses.

3 do a good job in quality control.

(1) define the project quality objectives.

the project management department should formulate corresponding quality acceptance standards according to the quality objectives set by the company, and make the enterprise quality acceptance standards higher than the national acceptance standards.

every operator from the company to the project department and the team should firmly establish the quality consciousness, define the goal of creating excellence, implement all-round quality management for all staff, and the company will work together to achieve the quality goal.

(2) strictly control the quality of materials.

materials purchased by the construction unit and materials purchased by party b must conform to the specifications and standards (including environmental protection standards) and design requirements, strictly implement the material acceptance system, and prevent counterfeit and shoddy materials from being used in the project to ensure the quality of the project.

(3) ensure the quality of the main structure.

the quality of the main structure is related to the quality and safety of the whole project and the life safety of every employee. Therefore, the quality of the main structure must be ensured. Some construction enterprises put forward that the concrete should meet the requirements of fair-faced concrete, and corresponding measures should be taken for formwork and reinforcement to ensure that the concrete is solid and bright inside and outside, and the edges and corners of beams and columns are neat after formwork removal, so as to achieve the purpose of one-time molding.

(4) Attach importance to decoration quality.

whether the project is excellent or not depends on the decoration. Although this sentence is not comprehensive, it shows from one side that the quality of decoration has a great influence on the overall project quality, so we must pay attention to the quality of decoration project. In the stage of construction decoration, we must overcome common quality defects and do a good job in detail treatment. For example, the skirting line should ensure that the thickness of the protruding wall is consistent and the surface is smooth and flat; Small structures protruding from the roof must be distinctive and creative, giving people a refreshing feeling. In short, we should be superior in decoration level and have innovation and characteristics.

(5) pay special attention to the key parts of the construction.

For example, the basement, the first floor, the top floor, the roof, the bathroom and the stair walkway are all key parts. The more places people don't often go to, the more prone to quality problems, which is not only the difficulty of construction, but also the focus of inspection, and should be highly valued by the project department.

(6) actively promote the application of new technologies and materials.

With the progress of science and technology, new materials and technologies are constantly emerging. Construction enterprises should grasp this information in time and actively apply it to projects. In the construction of Nanjing Culture and Art Center, Nantong Xinhua Construction Company popularized and applied 18 new technologies and materials according to the engineering characteristics and design requirements, saving more than 7 million yuan for the project. SBS, polyurethane and newer and better waterproof materials are selected in the roofing construction of Nantong No.4 Construction Project to ensure that the roofing is watertight.

(7) the template leads the way.

model guiding is the accumulated experience of construction enterprises for many years, and it is also an effective measure to create excellence, and the project department should persistently popularize and apply it. For each project, a sample room should be prepared according to the design requirements, and it will be widely promoted after being approved by the construction unit supervision unit to ensure the project quality.

(8) Strengthen training and improve the quality of employees.

A good project is scientifically managed and made by high-quality workers. It is impossible to do a good job without a high-quality management team and skilled operators. Therefore, construction enterprises should conduct regular training for construction management personnel, carry out continuing education, constantly improve management level and professional quality, and train workers' skills to meet the requirements of knowing and meeting the needs.

(9) Strictly implement the "three inspections" system.

the team self-inspection, sampling inspection by the project department, supervision and acceptance, and the "three inspections" system are implemented, which aims to eliminate quality problems in the construction process.

(1) do a good job in technical disclosure.

technical disclosure shall be made to the workers before the shift, so that the workers can understand the quality requirements that the work must meet and the technical difficulties that must be grasped.

4 improve the safety responsibility system.

(1) establish a safety responsibility system.

the legal representative of the enterprise is the first person in charge of production safety in the company, and the project manager is the first person in charge of production safety in the project, and has an important responsibility for safety work. Safety work is not only related to the lives of employees, but also to the survival and development of enterprises, so we must attach great importance to safety production. The company, the project management department and the team should subscribe to the safety responsibility book. In case of a safety accident, the responsible persons at all levels and the team should bear certain economic responsibilities and strengthen the safety awareness of employees through the system.

(2) ensure that the investment in safety facilities is in place.

the investment in safety facilities can't be saved, and enterprises should be able to calculate big accounts. Once a safety accident occurs in a project, the losses caused are much greater than the cost of safety investment. At the same time, it will have a greater negative impact on enterprises and affect their development.

(3) safety personnel should be put in place.

the project department should be equipped with full-time security officers, the team should be equipped with part-time security officers, the small project should be equipped with one full-time security officer, and the large project should be equipped with two or three full-time security officers, so that the safety work can be put in place.

(4) Strengthen safety training and education.

To improve workers' awareness of self-protection, safety disclosure should be made before shift and records should be made. Especially for new workers or workers who have changed jobs, pre-job training and education must be carried out to improve their awareness and ability of self-protection, and they must insist on training before taking up their posts.

(5) pay special attention to the safety of key personnel, key parts and key equipment.

training should be strengthened for key personnel such as special types of work, so that they can work with certificates, and safety protection measures should be strengthened for key parts such as borders and holes. For large mechanical equipment, safety personnel should check it every day and handle it in time when problems are found.

(6) do a good job in civilized construction sites.

the layout of the construction site should be planned at one time, the living area and the working area should be separated, the materials should be neatly stacked, the roads should be unobstructed, the placard position should be eye-catching, and the sewage discharge should have a drainage system. People can change the environment, and the environment can also change people. Creating a civilized construction site can not only reduce the occurrence of safety accidents, but also enhance the image of enterprises and institutions and enhance their market competitiveness.
