The accuracy of project budget and settlement plays an important role in determining project cost, controlling project cost and improving economic benefits of enterprises.How to be accurate from the beginning to the end, and how to accumulate progress little by little?Today’s small editor for you to sort out, about the project budget and settlement of those can let you less detour experience. 

1.Let’s talk about basic skills first

Calculation of quantities

>>Construction drawings

The construction drawing budget is accurate, which can provide a lot of reference for the project completion settlement and reduce the later workload of budget settlement.

In order to accurately calculate the engineering quantity, it is necessary to be familiar with and understand all construction drawings and all design technical data in detail, and calculate according to the calculation rules of engineering quantity, which is conducive to reasonably and accurately dividing projects according to relevant provisions of quota.For the problems found in the drawings, the technical disclosure shall be carried out, and the incomplete explanation of the drawings can be considered according to the construction specifications and the construction methods provided on site.

>>Application of formula

The correct use of calculation formula is also the basic skill of calculating engineering quantity.According to the principle that some data can be calculated at one time and used many times, these data can be compiled into various data tables, which can avoid repeated calculation and save compilation time.

>>Principle of pricing

The price cannot be set according to the higher unit price of the project. The explanation, work content and unit price composition in the quota book should be mastered when setting the price, and the similar project budget and corresponding quota should be used to compare the set price, so as to reduce the probability of missing items.For the projects with quota missing items, the consumption of labor, materials and machinery can be measured according to their own experience and the actual construction situation, so as to determine the unit price in line with the actual construction situation fairly and reasonably.

2.Talking about advanced level again 

“Go deep into the construction site”

Reason 1:

The accuracy of project budget and settlement is closely related to the understanding of construction conditions, construction methods, construction machinery, relevant design changes, visa items, etc. in order to obtain these data truthfully, we must go deep into the construction site. 

Reason 2:

At present, there are often disputes between Party A and Party B in the completion settlement of the project. In many aspects, because there is no deep-seated construction site, accurate information can not be collected, and the information provided by Party B is often considered by Party A as untrue.If we go deep into the construction site, we can not only obtain the real first-hand information, but also help the site management personnel to do a good job in visa work, improve the accuracy of settlement, and reduce the disputes between Party A and Party B.

Reason 3:

If we go deep into the construction site, it is easy to connect the construction drawings with the actual buildings, which has a certain effect on avoiding over calculation and missing calculation and improving the ability of pre settlement.

“Pay attention to collecting information related to budget and settlement”

Data related to settlement include: as built drawings, contract, drawing review records, construction organization, design change notice, project negotiation record, engineering technical scheme, site visa certificate, etc.It is customary to start accumulating at the beginning of construction and store them in different categories, so as to find out and be familiar with its contents. Through these materials, we can understand the design intention, and be familiar with the construction technology and operation. This is the premise of quickly and accurately determining the project settlement cost.

“Good at sorting out (calculating) change projects”

Ahead of time

There are many large engineering and complex engineering changes. Before calculation, the whole set of construction drawings shall be revised and revised according to the contents of drawing joint review record and design change notice, so as to carry out change calculation. 

In time

The settlement of the change must be timely. If it is not calculated until the completion of the project, it will easily cause missing items due to more changes, or it will be repeated with the quantities of the original construction drawing budget project.

Be sensitive

In the process of calculating changes, the change drawings and change notices should be cleaned up at any time to make the project settlement “accurate”, “fast”, “detailed” and “complete”.
