In August 27th, an important speech was held at the 5th Anniversary Symposium on "one belt and one road" construction held in Beijing. It is emphasized that building the "one belt and one road" conforms to the inherent requirements of the global governance system transformation, and demonstrates the sense of community of common destiny, shared responsibilities and responsibilities. It provides a new way of thinking for improving the global governance system. Scheme.

In the past 5 years, the "one belt and one road" has changed from initiative to action, from concept to practice. Nowadays, more and more key projects and demonstration projects have taken root in the countries along the line, which has led many Chinese enterprises to "go out".

In the face of the new investment and construction environment and how to provide protection for Chinese investment and project contracting, what role does the project cost consulting enterprise play in the great project of "one belt and one road"?

Zhang Xingwang, Deputy Secretary General of the China Construction Cost Management Association, told the author, "since the state put forward the" one belt and one way "initiative, project cost consulting enterprises have launched more than 300 international engineering consulting projects, accounting for about 15% of the total life cycle or whole process engineering consulting projects. Control objectives of quality and progress.

At present, nearly 60 engineering cost consulting enterprises in China carry out international engineering consulting business, providing full process engineering consulting service for Chinese enterprises, involving 74 countries, including 31 countries along the belt and road. In addition, some engineering cost consulting enterprises have undertaken a number of international engineering cost and contract dispute settlement business, which provides effective services and guarantees for safeguarding the legitimate interests of Chinese investment and engineering contractors.

"Spend less and do more" Intelligence Service "Go Out"

Taking the "East and west" initiative, the pace of "going out" of construction cost consulting enterprises is accelerating. Relevant data show that in 2017, the turnover of foreign general contracting projects was 168.59 billion US dollars, and the newly signed contracts were 265.28 billion US dollars, an increase of 5.6% and 8.7% respectively. What role does the cost consulting enterprise play behind the huge amount of work? A case can be clearly illustrated.

"At that time, when Chinese enterprises wanted to build bases in Angola, under the circumstances of tight time and high requirements, we formulated the whole process of project management with investment control as the main line, which saved 10% of the investment for the enterprise on the basis of enhancing the value of the project. The final project has passed the acceptance test successfully and won the praise of the local owners. The person in charge of Beijing Realistic Engineering Management Co., Ltd. told the author.

The whole process engineering consultation mentioned by this person in charge covers the whole process consultation service from project establishment to completion, and some even includes the consultation service in the operation and maintenance stage after the project is put into use.

"For overseas engineering consulting, engineering consulting enterprises need to solve the problems of laws, regulations, policies, culture, social environment, economy and technology for Chinese enterprises'going out. For example, project cost consulting service can control investment well in every stage or link of project planning, decision-making, design, bidding, construction, auditing, operation and maintenance, and provide intellectual services for clients from the perspective of "less money, more work". Zhang Xingwang introduced.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first use your tools" to lay a solid foundation for "going out"

In recent years, China's engineering cost consulting industry has maintained a sustained and healthy development trend, which provides a strong support for engineering cost consulting enterprises to "go out". There are about 7 800 cost consulting enterprises in China, with over 1.5 million cost practitioners. They are widely distributed in the fields of construction, planning, design, bidding, construction, supervision and auditing. In 2017, the business income of engineering cost consulting enterprises was 147 billion yuan, an increase of 22% over the previous year.

In the Opinions on Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the Construction Industry issued in 2017, it is proposed that the whole process engineering consultation should be carried out and a number of whole process engineering consultation enterprises with international level should be cultivated. In order to further enhance the soft power of engineering cost consulting enterprises, China Construction Cost Management Association has completed the translation of many Chinese and foreign engineering measurement standards and related works, providing technical support for engineering cost consulting enterprises and cost engineers to go out. At the same time, the association also organizes industry experts to carry out a series of strategic and forward-looking research on internationalization, and conducts bid research and analysis for international representative enterprises, so as to help engineering cost consulting enterprises better understand and adapt to the international market, and accelerate the cultivation of international vision and core of engineering cost consulting enterprises. Competitiveness is mainly embodied in the following three aspects:

In terms of personnel training, it is gradually changing from traditional technology-based to comprehensive, involving finance, commerce and law, so as to realize the cultivation and promotion of compound talents.

In terms of service scope, the whole process of professional consulting service with investment control, value management, project management and asset management as the main line has been gradually transformed from a localized and fragmented single consulting service.

In terms of consulting technology, it has gradually developed from traditional consulting methods to consulting modern information technologies such as BIM (building information model), big data and Internet plus.

As a successful model for Chinese enterprises to "go global", Dai Dai River Hydropower Station in Cambodia saved 118.11 million US dollars compared with the approved budget through investment control consulting services provided by Xinyong Zhonghe (Beijing) International Engineering Management Consulting Co., Ltd., which created good investment returns for the country and also made contributions to deepening Sino-Cambodian friendship. Positive contributions have been made.
