工程管理专业英语全文翻译Unit 1 the owner’s perspective 第1单元业主的观点1.2 Major Types of Construction 1.2大建筑类型Since most owners are generally interested in acquiring only aspecific type of constructed facility, they should be aware of the common industrial practices for the type of construction pertinent to them [1]. Likewise, the construction industry is a conglomeration of quite diverse segments and products. Some owners may procure a constructed facility only once in a long while and tend to look forshort term advantages. However ,many owners require periodic acquisition of new facilities and/or rehabilitation of existing facilities. It is to their advantage to keep the construction industry healthy and productive. Collectively, the owners have more power to influence the construction industry than they realize because, by their individual actions, they can provide incentives for innovation, efficiency and quality in construction [2]. It is to the interest of all parties that the owners take an active interest in the construction and exercise beneficial influence on the performance of the industry.由于大多数业主通常只对获得特定类型的建筑设施感兴趣,所以他们应该了解与他们有关的建筑类型的常见工业实践[1]。

It seeks to address the necessity for applying BIM and re-organising the processes and roles in hospital building projects. This type of project is complex due to complicated functional and technical requirements, decision making involving a large number of stakeholders, and long-term development processes. Design/methodology/approach– Through desk research and referring to the ongoing European research project InPro, the framework for integrated collaboration and the use of BIM are analysed. Through several real cases, the changing roles of clients, architects, and contractors through BIM application are investigated.Findings–One of the main findings is the identification of the main factors for a successful collaboration using BIM, which can be recognised as “POWER”: product information sharing (P),organisational roles synergy (O), work processes coordination (W), environment for teamwork (E), and reference data consolidation (R). Furthermore, it is also found that the implementation of BIM in hospital building projects is still limited due to certain commercial and legal barriers, as well as the fact that integrated collaboration has not yet been embedded in the real estate strategies of healthcare institutions.Originality/value– This paper contributes to the actual discussion in science and practice on the changing roles and processes that are required to develop and operate sustainable buildings with the support of integrated ICT frameworks and tools. It presents the state-of-the-art of European research projects and some of the first real cases of BIM application in hospital building projects. Keywords Europe, Hospitals, The Netherlands, Construction works, Response flexibility, Project planningPaper type General review1. IntroductionHospital building projects, are of key importance, and involve significant investment, and usually take a long-term development period. Hospital building projects are also very complex due to the complicated requirements regarding hygiene, safety, special equipments, and handling of a large amount of data. The building process is very dynamic and comprises iterative phases and intermediate changes. Many actors with shifting agendas, roles and responsibilities are actively involved, such as: the healthcare institutions, national and local governments, project developers, financial institutions, architects, contractors, advisors, facility managers, and equipment manufacturers and suppliers. Such building projects are very much influenced, by the healthcare policy, which changes rapidly in response to the medical, societal and technological developments, and varies greatly between countries (World Health Organization, 2000). In The Netherlands, for example, the way a building project in the healthcare sector is organised is undergoing a major reform due to a fundamental change in the Dutch health policy that was introduced in 2008.The rapidly changing context posts a need for a building with flexibility over its lifecycle. In order to incorporate life-cycle considerations in the building design, construction technique, and facility management strategy, a multidisciplinary collaboration is required. Despite the attempt for establishing integrated collaboration, healthcare building projects still faces serious problems in practice, such as: budget overrun, delay, and sub-optimal quality in terms of flexibility, end-user’s dissatisfaction, and energy inef ficiency. It is evident that the lack of communication and coordination between the actors involved in the different phases of a building project is among the most important reasons behind these problems. The communication between different stakeholders becomes critical, as each stakeholder possesses different set of skills. As a result, the processes for extraction, interpretation, and communication of complex design information from drawings and documents are often time-consuming and difficult. Advanced visualisation technologies, like 4D planning have tremendous potential to increase the communication efficiency and interpretation ability of the project team members. However, their use as an effective communication tool is still limited and not fully explored (Dawood and Sikka, 2008). There are also other barriers in the information transfer and integration, for instance: many existing ICT systems do not support the openness of the data and structure that is prerequisite foran effective collaboration between different building actors or disciplines.Building information modelling (BIM) offers an integrated solution to the previously mentioned problems. Therefore, BIM is increasingly used as an ICT support in complex building projects. An effective multidisciplinary collaboration supported by an optimal use of BIM require changing roles of the clients, architects, and contractors; new contractual relationships; and re-organised collaborative processes. Unfortunately, there are still gaps in the practical knowledge on how to manage the building actors to collaborate effectively in their changing roles, and to develop and utilise BIM as an optimal ICT support of the collaboration.This paper presents a general review of the practical implications of building information modelling (BIM) based on literature review and case studies. In the next sections, based on literature and recent findings from European research project InPro, the framework for integrated collaboration and the use of BIM are analysed. Subsequently, through the observation of two ongoing pilot projects in The Netherlands, the changing roles of clients, architects, and contractors through BIM application are investigated. In conclusion, the critical success factors as well as the main barriers of a successful integrated collaboration using BIM are identified.2. Changing roles through integrated collaboration and life-cycle design approachesA hospital building project involves various actors, roles, and knowledge domains. In The Netherlands, the changing roles of clients, architects, and contractors in hospital building projects are inevitable due the new healthcare policy. Previously under the Healthcare Institutions Act (WTZi), healthcare institutions were required to obtain both a license and a building permit for new construction projects and major renovations. The permit was issued by the Dutch Ministry of Health. The healthcare institutions were then eligible to receive financial support from the government. Since 2008, new legislation on the management of hospital building projects and real estate has come into force. In this new legislation, a permit for hospital building project under the WTZi is no longer obligatory, nor obtainable (Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, 2008). This change allows more freedom from the state-directed policy, and respectively, allocates more responsibilities to the healthcare organisations to deal with the financing and management of their real estate. The new policy implies that the healthcare institutions are fully responsible to manage and finance their building projects and real estate. The government’s support for the costs of healthcare facilities will no longer be given separately, but will beincluded in the fee for healthcare services. This means that healthcare institutions must earn back their investment on real estate through their services. This new policy intends to stimulate sustainable innovations in the design, procurement and management of healthcare buildings, which will contribute to effective and efficient primary healthcare services.The new strategy for building projects and real estate management endorses an integrated collaboration approach. In order to assure the sustainability during construction, use, and maintenance, the end-users, facility managers, contractors and specialist contractors need to be involved in the planning and design processes. The implications of the new strategy are reflected in the changing roles of the building actors and in the new procurement method.In the traditional procurement method, the design, and its details, are developed by the architect, and design engineers. Then, the client (the healthcare institution) sends an application to the Ministry of Health to obtain an approval on the building permit and the financial support from the government. Following this, a contractor is selected through a tender process that emphasises the search for the lowest-price bidder. During the construction period, changes often take place due to constructability problems of the design and new requirements from the client. Because of the high level of technical complexity, and moreover, decision-making complexities, the whole process from initiation until delivery of a hospital building project can take up to ten years time. After the delivery, the healthcare institution is fully in charge of the operation of the facilities. Redesigns and changes also take place in the use phase to cope with new functions and developments in the medical world (van Reedt Dortland, 2009).The integrated procurement pictures a new contractual relationship between the parties involved in a building project. Instead of a relationship between the client and architect for design, and the client and contractor for construction, in an integrated procurement the client only holds a contractual relationship with the main party that is responsible for both design and construction ( Joint Contracts Tribunal, 2007). The traditional borders between tasks and occupational groups become blurred since architects, consulting firms, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers all stand on the supply side in the building process while the client on the demand side. Such configuration puts the architect, engineer and contractor in a very different position that influences not only their roles, but also their responsibilities, tasks and communication with the client, the users, the team and other stakeholders.The transition from traditional to integrated procurement method requires a shift of mindset of the parties on both the demand and supply sides. It is essential for the client and contractor to have a fair and open collaboration in which both can optimally use their competencies. The effectiveness of integrated collaboration is also determined by the client’s capacity and strategy to organize innovative tendering procedures (Sebastian et al., 2009).A new challenge emerges in case of positioning an architect in a partnership with the contractor instead of with the client. In case of the architect enters a partnership with the contractor, an important issues is how to ensure the realisation of the architectural values as well as innovative engineering through an efficient construction process. In another case, the architect can stand at the client’s side in a strategic advisory role instead of being the designer. In this case, the architect’s responsibility is translating client’s requirements and wishes into the architectural values to be included in the design specification, and evaluating the contractor’s pr oposal against this. In any of this new role, the architect holds the responsibilities as stakeholder interest facilitator, custodian of customer value and custodian of design models.The transition from traditional to integrated procurement method also brings consequences in the payment schemes. In the traditional building process, the honorarium for the architect is usually based on a percentage of the project costs; this may simply mean that the more expensive the building is, the higher the honorarium will be. The engineer receives the honorarium based on the complexity of the design and the intensity of the assignment. A highly complex building, which takes a number of redesigns, is usually favourable for the engineers in terms of honorarium.A traditional contractor usually receives the commission based on the tender to construct the building at the lowest price by meeting the minimum specifications given by the client. Extra work due to modifications is charged separately to the client. After the delivery, the contractor is no longer responsible for the long-term use of the building. In the traditional procurement method, all risks are placed with the client.In integrated procurement method, the payment is based on the achieved building performance; thus, the payment is non-adversarial. Since the architect, engineer and contractor have a wider responsibility on the quality of the design and the building, the payment is linked to a measurement system of the functional and technical performance of the building over a certain period of time. The honorarium becomes an incentive to achieve the optimal quality. If thebuilding actors succeed to deliver a higher added-value that exceed the minimum client’s requirements, they will receive a bonus in accordance t o the client’s extra gain. The level of transparency is also improved. Open book accounting is an excellent instrument provided that the stakeholders agree on the information to be shared and to its level of detail (InPro, 2009).Next to the adoption of integrated procurement method, the new real estate strategy for hospital building projects addresses an innovative product development and life-cycle design approaches. A sustainable business case for the investment and exploitation of hospital buildings relies on dynamic life-cycle management that includes considerations and analysis of the market development over time next to the building life-cycle costs (investment/initial cost, operational cost, and logistic cost). Compared to the conventional life-cycle costing method, the dynamic life-cycle management encompasses a shift from focusing only on minimizing the costs to focusing on maximizing the total benefit that can be gained. One of the determining factors for a successful implementation of dynamic life-cycle management is the sustainable design of the building and building components, which means that the design carries sufficient flexibility to accommodate possible changes in the long term (Prins, 1992).Designing based on the principles of life-cycle management affects the role of the architect, as he needs to be well informed about the usage scenarios and related financial arrangements, the changing social and physical environments, and new technologies. Design needs to integrate people activities and business strategies over time. In this context, the architect is required to align the design strategies with the organisational, local and global policies on finance, business operations, health and safety, environment, etc. (Sebastian et al., 2009).The combination of process and product innovation, and the changing roles of the building actors can be accommodated by integrated project delivery or IPD (AIA California Council, 2007). IPD is an approach that integrates people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to reduce waste and optimize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication and construction. IPD principles can be applied to a variety of contractual arrangements. IPD teams will usually include members well beyond the basic triad of client, architect, and contractor. At a minimum, though, an Integrated Project should include a tight collaboration between the client, the architect, and the main contractor ultimately responsible for construction of the project, from the early design untilthe project handover. The key to a successful IPD is assembling a team that is committed to collaborative processes and is capable of working together effectively. IPD is built on collaboration. As a result, it can only be successful if the participants share and apply common values and goals.3. Changing roles through BIM applicationBuilding information model (BIM) comprises ICT frameworks and tools that can support the integrated collaboration based on life-cycle design approach. BIM is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. As such it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its lifecycle from inception onward (National Institute of Building Sciences NIBS, 2007). BIM facilitates time and place independent collaborative working. A basic premise of BIM is collaboration by different stakeholders at different phases of the life cycle of a facility to insert, extract, update or modify information in the BIM to support and reflect the roles of that stakeholder. BIM in its ultimate form, as a shared digital representation founded on open standards for interoperability, can become a virtual information model to be handed from the design team to the contractor and subcontractors and then to the client (Sebastian et al., 2009).BIM is not the same as the earlier known computer aided design (CAD). BIM goes further than an application to generate digital (2D or 3D) drawings (Bratton, 2009). BIM is an integrated model in which all process and product information is combined, stored, elaborated, and interactively distributed to all relevant building actors. As a central model for all involved actors throughout the project lifecycle, BIM develops and evolves as the project progresses. Using BIM, the proposed design and engineering solutions can be measured against the client’s requirements and expected building performance. The functionalities of BIM to support the design process extend to multidimensional (nD), including: three-dimensional visualisation and detailing, clash detection, material schedule, planning, cost estimate, production and logistic information, and as-built documents. During the construction process, BIM can support the communication between the building site, the factory and the design office– which is crucial for an effective and efficient prefabrication and assembly processes as well as to prevent or solve problems related to unforeseen errors or modifications. When the building is in use, BIM can be used in combination with the intelligent building systems to provide and maintain up-to-date information of thebuilding performance, including the life-cycle cost.To unleash the full potential of more efficient information exchange in the AEC/FM industry in collaborative working using BIM, both high quality open international standards and high quality implementations of these standards must be in place. The IFC open standard is generally agreed to be of high quality and is widely implemented in software. Unfortunately, the certification process allows poor quality implementations to be certified and essentially renders the certified software useless for any practical usage with IFC. IFC compliant BIM is actually used less than manual drafting for architects and contractors, and show about the same usage for engineers. A recent survey shows that CAD (as a closed-system) is still the major form of technique used in design work (over 60 per cent) while BIM is used in around 20 percent of projects for architects and in around 10 per cent of projects for engineers and contractors (Kiviniemi et al., 2008).The application of BIM to support an optimal cross-disciplinary and cross-phase collaboration opens a new dimension in the roles and relationships between the building actors. Several most relevant issues are: the new role of a model manager; the agreement on the access right and Intellectual Property Right (IPR); the liability and payment arrangement according to the type of contract and in relation to the integrated procurement; and the use of open international standards.Collaborative working using BIM demands a new expert role of a model manager who possesses ICT as well as construction process know-how (InPro, 2009). The model manager deals with the system as well as with the actors. He provides and maintains technological solutions required for BIM functionalities, manages the information flow, and improves the ICT skills of the stakeholders. The model manager does not take decisions on design and engineering solutions, nor the organisational processes, but his roles in the chain of decision making are focused on:●the development of BIM, the definition of the structure and detail level of the model, and thedeployment of relevant BIM tools, such as for models checking, merging, and clash detections;●the contribution to collaboration methods, especially decision making and communicationprotocols, task planning, and risk management;and the management of information, in terms of data flow and storage, identification of communication errors, and decision or process (re-)tracking.Regarding the legal and organisational issues, one of the actual question s is: “In what way does the intellectual property right (IPR) in collaborative working using BIM differ from the IPR in a traditional teamwork?”. In terms of combined work, the IPR of each element is attached to its creator. Although it seems to be a fully integrated design, BIM actually resulted from a combination of works/elements; for instance: the outline of the building design, is created by the architect, the design for the electrical system, is created by the electrical contractor, etc. Thus, in case of BIM as a combined work, the IPR is similar to traditional teamwork. Working with BIM with authorship registration functionalities may actually make it easier to keep track of the IPR(Chao-Duivis, 2009).How does collaborative working, using BIM, effect the contractual relationship? On the one hand, collaborative working using BIM does not necessarily change the liability position in the contract nor does it obligate an alliance contract. The General Principles of BIM Addendum confirms: ‘This does not ef fectuate or require a restructuring of contractual relationships or shifting of risks between or among the Project Participants other than as specifically required per the Protocol Addendum and its Attachments’ (ConsensusDOCS, 2008). On the other hand, changes in terms of payment schemes can be anticipated. Collaborative processes using BIM will lead to the shifting of activities from to the early design phase. Much, if not all, activities in the detailed engineering and specification phase will be done in the earlier phases. It means that significant payment for the engineering phase, which may count up to 40 per cent of the design cost, can no longer be expected. As engineering work is done concurrently with the design, a new proportion of the payment in the early design phase is necessary(Chao-Duivis, 2009).4. Review of ongoing hospital building projects using BIMIn The Netherlands, the changing roles in hospital building projects are part of the strategy, which aims at achieving a sustainable real estate in response to the changing healthcare policy. Referring to literature and previous research, the main factors that influence the success of the changing roles can be concluded as: the implementation of an integrated procurement method and a life-cycle design approach for a sustainable collaborative process; the agreement on the BIM structure and the intellectual rights; and the integration of the role of a model manager. Thepreceding sections have discussed the conceptual thinking on how to deal with these factors effectively. This current section observes two actual projects and compares the actual practice with the conceptual view respectively.The main issues, which are observed in the case studies, are:●the selected procurement method and the roles of the involved parties within this method;●the implementation of the life-cycle design approach;●the type, structure, and functionalities of BIM used in the project;●the openness in data sharing and transfer of the model, and the intended use of BIM in thefuture; and●the roles and tasks of the model manager.The pilot experience of hospital building projects using BIM in the Netherlands can be observed at University Medical Centre St Radboud (further referred as UMC) and Maxima Medical Centre (further referred as MMC). At UMC, the new building project for the Faculty of Dentistry in the city of Nijmegen has been dedicated as a BIM pilot project. At MMC, BIM is used in designing new buildings for Medical Simulation and Mother-and-Child Centre in the city of Veldhoven.The first case is a project at the University Medical Centre (UMC) St Radboud. UMC is more than just a hospital. UMC combines medical services, education and research. More than 8500 staff and 3000 students work at UMC. As a part of the innovative real estate strategy, UMC has considered to use BIM for its building projects. The new development of the Faculty of Dentistry and the surrounding buildings on the Kapittelweg in Nijmegen has been chosen as a pilot project to gather practical knowledge and experience on collaborative processes with BIM support.The main ambition to be achieved through the use of BIM in the building projects at UMC can be summarised as follows:●using 3D visualisation to enhance the coordination and communication among the buildingactors, and the user participation in design;●facilitating optimal information accessibility and exchange for a high●consistency of the drawings and documents across disciplines and phases;●integrating the architectural design with structural analysis, energy analysis, cost estimation,and planning;●interactively evaluating the design solutions against the programme of requirements andspecifications;●reducing redesign/remake costs through clash detection during the design process; and●optimising the management of the facility through the registration of medical installationsand equipments, fixed and flexible furniture, product and output specifications, and operational data.The second case is a project at the Maxima Medical Centre (MMC). MMC is a large hospital resulted from a merger between the Diaconessenhuis in Eindhoven and St Joseph Hospital in Veldhoven. Annually the 3,400 staff of MMC provides medical services to more than 450,000 visitors and patients. A large-scaled extension project of the hospital in Veldhoven is a part of its real estate strategy. A medical simulation centre and a women-and-children medical centre are among the most important new facilities within this extension project. The design has been developed using 3D modelling with several functionalities of BIM.The findings from both cases and the analysis are as follows. Both UMC and MMC opted for a traditional procurement method in which the client directly contracted an architect, a structural engineer, and a mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) consultant in the design team. Once the design and detailed specifications are finished, a tender procedure will follow to select a contractor. Despite the choice for this traditional method, many attempts have been made for a closer and more effective multidisciplinary collaboration. UMC dedicated a relatively long preparation phase with the architect, structural engineer and MEP consultant before the design commenced. This preparation phase was aimed at creating a common vision on the optimal way for collaboration using BIM as an ICT support. Some results of this preparation phase are: a document that defines the common ambition for the project and the collaborative working process and a semi-formal agreement that states the commitment of the building actors for collaboration. Other than UMC, MMC selected an architecture firm with an in-house engineering department. Thus, the collaboration between the architect and structural engineer can take place within the same firm using the same software application.Regarding the life-cycle design approach, the main attention is given on life-cycle costs, maintenance needs, and facility management. Using BIM, both hospitals intend to get a much。

Building engineering biddingYang Cao a,*, Shuhua Wang b, Heng Li aaDepartment of Building and Real Estate, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, HongKong, ChinabState Key Laboratory of Novel Software Technology, Nanjing University, Nanjing210093, ChinaAbstractNowadays in the engineering construction industry, the market which is characteristic for project bidding, has formed. The construction companies,which want to create good benefits, have to control their cost and improve management to enhance the capacity of adapting and competing in this market. This article focuses on how to decrease cost and increase income so as to control the construction cost effectively. bidding documents should be well formulated ,which is the improtment to a successful bidding and direct influence the success or failure of the biddingwork.Becasue the success or failure of the bidding for the survival and development of enterprise has a direct impact, so we have a high quality, improve the bid documents of the unit, prevent invalid and successful pass mark appear, become a research topic.[key] : bidding drawbacks of unfair competition countermeasuresBidding is a form of project transactions, project bidding process is to determine the successful bidder and the cost of the process and the price of the project, project bidding work of a very important link, do a good job bidding to determine the price, we can effectively control construction costs, and create a fair and equitable market environment, create orderly competition mechanism. Bidding in construction activities, construction enterprises in order to tender invincible works to be successful, And from the contracted projects profitable, it needs to integrate various subjective and objective conditions, the tender research strategy determine tender. Tender bidding strategy, including pricing strategies and skills. All of the strategies and skills from the numerous contractors bidding on the accumulated experience and objective understanding of the law and of the actual situation understanding, but also with the contractor's decision-making ability and courage are closely related.Bidding documents is the general programme and play book of the bidding activity through the process of bidding. The bidding documents will specify that How to conduct each bidding work, how to dispatch bidding documents, the requirements for tenderer,how to rate and decide bidding and the procedures of bidding. Therefore, the personnel who is responsible for prepare bidding documents should first have a general view of the bidding work, include all the requirements and arrangements into the bidding documents. If meet problems that have not been considered previously, then resolve them one by one during the preparation. The course of bidding documents preparation is also the course of making bidding scheme .In another respect, bidding documents is also the legal instuments. Besides relevant law and rules, the bidding documents are the common game rules that bidder,bidding agent and tenderer should subject to through the bidding. Bidding documents are the legal instuments that all the three bidding related parties should subject to, have legal force, therefore, the bidding documents -making personnel required to have the awareness and quality of leagal in order to reflect the fair, just and legal requirement in the bidding documents.In building engineering bidding law enforcement and the practice of project construction supervision system on standardizing China's construction market, improve the construction quality and played an active role. But in the process of implementing exist some disadvantages, needs to perfect, enrich and improve. This project bidding documents in accordance with the bidding law of the People's Republic of China for bidders, bidding regulation, enterprise strictly, put forward to bidders professional requirements of project profile was illustrated.Nowadays in the engineering construction industry, the market which is characteristic for project bidding, has formed. The construction companies,which want to create good benefits, have to control their cost and improve management to enhance the capacity of adapting and competing in this market. This article focuses on how to decrease cost and increase income so as to control the construction cost effectively.In building engineering bidding law enforcement and the practice of project construction supervision system on standardizing China's construction market, improve the construction quality and played an active role. But in the process of implementing exist some disadvantages, needs to perfect, enrich and improve. This project bidding documents in accordance with the bidding law of the People's Republic of China for bidders, bidding regulation, enterprise strictly, put forward to bidders professional requirements of project profile was illustrated.The practice of project bidding purpose is to market competition of openness, fairness and justice. However, due to the construction market development is not standard, management system and the experience of inadequate, architectural engineering bidding in concrete operation exist in ACTS of unfair competition, and some drawbacks. This obviously violate the bidding, the bidding process, and will lose its significance for other bidder fails to bid is unjust, disturbed the bidding(project contracting market economic order, for activities), this kind of behavior must be prohibited, only in this way can we make construction engineering competitive trading activity lawfully healthy. This subject will I learned and social practice, present situation and construction project bidding system is expounded, and the disadvantages of bidding for construction project with ACTS of unfair competition phenomenon and analysis of causes, and finally make corresponding preventive countermeasures.Construction cost management system, both theoretical discussion, but also need to practice innovation. Under the conditions of market economy, project cost management, competitive and orderly market for construction management services platform structures. In such a premise, the original scale and method of valuation is inappropriate, and this needs to be reformed and improved. The spirit of "the government's macro regulation and control, enterprise autonomy offer, the market will price" principle, to implement the implementation specification bill of quantity. Inventory Valuation bidding activities are based on market economy mechanism, based on legal, scientific, fair, open and reasonable way to determine the winning bidder of an economic activity. Bidding is bidding activities constitute two basic aspects. The bidding activity is merely that by bidding to choose the one with the workConstruction process capability, moderate cost, quality is excellent, short duration of construction enterprises, and this is the ultimate goal tender. I have participated in internships over the course of the project bidding, and completed over part of the calculation of quantities, combined with graduate experience in the design process, a brief analysis of the mode Quantities Call for TenderThe meaning of risk and risk characteristics of the general construction, the lowest price sealed bidding construction method produces several risks and incentives, according to their characteristics discussed the feasibility of risk control and prevention. Comparison of engineering and engineering security risk management, insurance, similarities and differences between the two projects and benefits; construction project bidding and tendering process characteristics of human behavior is analyzed to reveal the bidder's risk appetite and behavioral characteristics with changes in the external environment change, when the default punishment is light, the bidder preference appetite for risk and default penalties, with the increase exceeds a certain value, the risk of bidders to show preference for behavior change to avoid the risk of penalties, the greater the bidder biased in favor of a more risk-averse behavior, the results of the control and prevention of risk behavior of bidders has an important and practical significanceConstruction Cost Management from the "quantity-one price" plan model to "price of separation volume" model of the market, and gradually establish a market price-based price formation mechanism, the price of the decision in the hands of the parties involved in the market, and ultimately the allocation of resources through the market in order to realize through the market mechanism to decide on project cost.This will standardize the construction market-competitive behavior and the promotion of project bidding mechanisms play an important role in innovation. It can be said that the implementation of the project bill of quantities is a project cost management system in our country a big step forward, but also in China's accession to the WTO, the global construction industry a powerful tool for peer competition.With the construction of in-depth development of the market, the traditional fixed pricing model no longer suited to market-oriented economic development needs. In order to adapt to the current project bidding by the market needs of a project cost, we must work on the existing valuation methods and pricing model for reform, the implementation of projects bill pricing. Engineering is a list of pricing model and adapt to the market economy, allowing independent contractor pricing through market competition determine prices, with the international practice of pricing model. With the bill pricing model projects to promote, in accordance with international bidding practices is imperative. Therefore, "the lowest reasonable price of the successful bidder" My future is the most important evaluation methods. At this stage due to the implementation of projects bill pricing model and the problems mainly against China at this stage " in the minimum reasonable price of the principles of the successful bidder, most contractors have not yet set up their own enterprises of scale, companies unable to determine the reasonable Cost. This article is a scientific and fast set "reasonable cost" to study the key. First, from the project cost of the basic concept, of the engineering bill pricing model under the cost structure, to accurately predict costs of the project provided the basis, considering the average cost of the social cost to individual enterprises and the tender stage of the cost estimates. Followed through on fuzzy math and technology for smooth in-depth analysis, through "close-degree," the concept of reasonable fuzzy math and exponential smoothing technologies, construction of the project cost vague prediction model, and in accordance with the relevant information and statistics Information and experience to establish a "framework structure," the comparison works Construction Cost Management from the "quantity-one price" plan model to "price of separation volume" model of the market, and gradually establish a market price-based price formation mechanism, the price of the decision in the hands of the parties involved in the market, and ultimately the allocation of resources through the market in order to realize through the market mechanism to decide on project cost. This will standardize the construction market-competitive behavior and the promotion of project bidding mechanisms play an important role in innovation. It can be said that the implementation of the project bill of quantities is a project cost management system in our country a big step forward, but also in China's accession to the WTO, the global construction industry a powerful tool for peer competition.A healthy bidding system should be in accordance with the "open, fair and justice" and the principle of good faith, and establish a unified, open, competitive and orderly construction market. In view of the current problems existing in the bidding process,adopt regulations, and formulate and perfect the institution, strengthening process supervision measures, they can better regulate construction market order, prevent corruption from its source, purify construction market, promote the construction market order progressively toward standardization, institutionalized, and constantly improve the quality and lev建筑项目招投标杨曹*,王建民,b, 李亨a建筑部门和房地产、香港理工大学、香港、中国b国家重点实验室的小说软件技术、南京大学、南京210093,中国摘要目前在工程建设项目行业中,以工程招投标为特征的建筑市场已经形成,施工企业为创造良好经济效益,必须严格控制成本,加强成本控制管理,才能提高市场适应能力和竞争力。

IntroductionHospitalbuilding projects, areof keyimportance,and involve significant investment, and usuallytake a long-term developmentperiod. Hospital building projects are alsovery complex due to the complicated requirementsregardinghygiene,safety, special equipments,and handling of alargeamount of data.Thebuilding process isvery dynamic and comprises iterative phasesandintermediate changes.Many actors with shifting agendas, roles and responsibilities are actively i nvolved, suchas: the healthcare institutions, national andlocal governments,project developers,financial institutions,architects,contr actors,advisors, facility managers, and equipment manufacturers andsuppliers. Such building projectsarevery much influenced, by the he althcarepolicy, whichchanges rapidly in response to the medical,societal and technological developments, and variesgreatly between countries (World Health Organization,2000).InTheNetherlands, for example, the way a building projectin the healthcare sector isorganisedis undergoing a major reform due to afundamentalchangein the Dutchhealth policy that wasintroduced in 2008.The rapidly changing context posts a need for abuilding withflexibilityoverits lifecycle.In order toincorporatelife-cycleconsiderationsin the building design,construction technique,andfacility managementstrategy, a multidisciplinary collaboration isrequired. Despite the a ttempt for establishing integrated collaboration, healthcare building projectsstillfaces serious problems in practice, such as:budget overrun, delay,andsub-optimalquality in terms of flexibility,end-user’sdissatisfaction,and energyinefficiency.It isevident that the lack of communication andcoordination between the actorsinvolved in the different phases of abuilding project is amongthe mostimportant reasons behind these problems. The communication between differentstakeholdersbecomescritical, as each stakeholder possesses different setofskills. Asa result,theprocessesfor extraction, interpretation, an dcommunicationof complex design information fromdrawings and documents areoften time-consuming and difficult. Advanced visualisation technologies, like 4Dplanning have tremendous potential to increasethecommunication efficiency andinterpretationability ofthe projectteam members. However, their use asaneffective communication tool is still li mited and not fully explored(Dawood and Sikka, 2008). There are also othe rbarriers in the informationtransfer andintegration,for instance: ma nyexistingICT systems do notsupport theopenness of the data and structure that isprerequisiteforaneffective collaborationbetween different building actorsor disciplines.Buildinginformation modelling (BIM) offersan integratedsolution tothe previously mentionedproblems. Therefore,BIMis increasinglyusedas an ICT support incomplex buildingprojects.An effec tive multidisciplinary collaboration supportedby an optimaluse ofBIM require changing roles ofthe clients, architects,andcontractors;new contractual relationships;andre-organisedcollaborative processes.Unfortunately, therearestill gaps in the practicalknowledge on how to manage thebuilding actors to collaborate effectivelyin their changing roles,and todevelopandutilise BIMasanoptimal ICTsupport ofthe collaboration.This paper presents a general review ofthepractical implications of buildinginformation modelling (BIM) based on literature reviewand case studies. In the next sections, based on literature and recentfindingsfrom European research project InPro,theframework for integrated collaboration and the useof BIM are analysed. Subsequently, throughth eobservation of twoongoingpilotprojects inTheNetherlands,the changing roles ofclients, architects, and contractors through BIM application areinvestigated.Inconclusion, thecritical success factors as wellas the main barriers of a successful integrated collabo ration using BIMare identified.2.Changing roles through integratedcollaboration andlife-cycledesign approachesA hospital building projectinvolves various actors, roles, and knowledge domains.In The Netherlands, thechanging roles of clients, architects, andcontractors inhospitalbuildingprojects are inevitableduethe n ew healthcare policy.Previously under the HealthcareInstitutions Act(WTZi), healthcare institutionswere required to obtain both a licenseandabuilding permit for new construction projects andma jorrenovations. The permit wasissuedbythe Dutch Ministry of Health. The healthcare institutionswere then eligible to receive financialsupport from the government.Since 2008,newlegislation onthe management of hospital building projects and real estatehascome into force.In thisnewlegislation,apermit for hospital buildingp rojectunder the WTZi is nolonger obligatory, nor obtainable(Dutch Ministryof Health, Welfare and Sport, 2008).Thischangeallows more freedom fromthestate-directed policy,and respectively, allocates moreresponsibilities to the healthcareorganisations to deal withthefinancingand managementof their realestate.Thenew policy implies that the healthcare institutions arefully responsible to manage and finance their buildingprojectsandreal estate. Thegovern ment’s support for thecostsofhealthcarefacilitieswill no longerbe given separately, but will be included in thefeefor healthcare services.This means that healthcare institutions must earn back their invest ment on real estate through their services. This new policy intends tostimulate sustainableinnovations in the design,procurement and man agement of healthcare buildings, which will contributetoeffective and efficientprimaryhealthcare services.Thenewstrategy for building projectsand real estate management endorses an integratedcollaboration approach. In order to assure the sustainabilityduringconstruction,use,and maintenance, the end-users, facilit ymanagers, contractors andspecialistcontractorsneedtobe in volved inthe planning and designprocesses. Theimplications of the newstrategyare reflectedin thechanging rolesofthe building actors andinthenewprocurement method.In the traditional procurementmethod, the design, and itsdetails, a redeveloped by the architect,and design engineers. Then,the client (the healthcare institution) sends an application to theMinistry of Hea lth toobtain an approvalonthebuilding permit and the financial su pportfromthe government.Following this, a contractor is selected through a tender processthat emphasisesthe search for the lowest-pricebidder.During the construction period,changes often take place du eto constructabilityproblems ofthe design andnew requirementsfromthe client.Becauseof thehigh level of technical complexity,and moreover,decision-makingcomplexities,the whole processfromin itiationuntil delivery of a hospital building project can take upto ten years time. After the delivery, the healthcare institutionisfully in charge of the operation of thefacilities.Redesigns and changes also take place in the use phase tocope with newfunctionsand developments in themedical world (van ReedtDortland, 2009).The integrated procurement picturesanewcontractual relationship between the parties involvedina building project. Instead ofa relationshipbetween theclient and architectfor design, and theclientandcontractor forconstruction,in an integratedprocurement the clientonly holds a contractual relationshipwith themain partythatis responsible for both design and construction( Joint Contracts Tribunal,2007). Thetraditional borders between tasksand occup ational groupsbecome blurred since architects, consulting firms, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers allstand on thesupply sidein the building process while the client onthedemand side.S uchconfiguration puts the architect, engineer and contractori n a very different positionthat influences not only their roles, but also theirresponsibilities, tasksand communicationwiththe client,the users,the teamandotherstakeholders.The transitionfromtraditional to integrated procurement method requires a shiftofmindset oftheparties on boththedemand and supply s ides. Itis essentialfor the client andcontractortohaveafair and opencollaboration inwhich both canoptimallyuse theircompe tencies.The effectivenessof integrated collaboration is also determinedb ythe client’s capacity and strategy to organizeinnovative tenderingprocedures (Sebastian etal.,2009).A newchallenge emerges in case ofpositioning an architectin a partnership with the contractor instead of withthe client.In caseofthe architectenters apartnership with thecontractor, an important issues is how to ensurethe realisation ofthearchitectural values as wel lasinnovative engineering through an efficient construction process.Inanother case, thearchitect can stand at the client’s side ina strategic advisory role instead of being the designer. Inthis case,thearchitect’s responsibility is translating client’s requirementsandwishes intothearchitectural valuesto beincludedin the designspecification, and evaluating the contractor’s proposal against this. Inany of this new role,the architectholds the responsibilities asstakeholderinterest facil itator, custodian of customervalue and custodian of designmodels.Thetransition from traditional to integrated procurement method also brings consequences inthepayment schemes.In the traditional buildi ng process, the honorariumforthe architect isusually basedon apercentage of the project costs;this may simplymean that themoreexpensivethe building is, the higherthe honorarium will be. Theengineer receives thehonorarium based on the complexityof the design and the intensity of the assignment. A highly complex building, which takes a nu mberofredesigns,is usually favourablefor the engineers in terms ofhonorarium. Atraditionalcontractorusually receives the commission based on thetender to constructthe building at the lowestprice by meetingtheminimum specificationsgiven by the client. Extra workdue to modifications is charged separately to the client. After the delivery, the c ontractoris no longer responsiblefor the long-term use of thebuilding. In the traditionalprocurement method,all risks are placed withthe c lient.In integrated procurement method,thepaymentis based on theachieved buildingperformance;thus, the payment is non-adversarial. Since th earchitect,engineerandcontractor have a widerresponsibilityonthequalityof the design andthe building,thepaymentis linked to ameasurement systemofthe functional and technical performance of thebuilding over a certain period of time.The honorarium becomes an i ncentive toachieve the optimal quality. Ifthe building actors succeed todeliver a higher added-valuethat exceed theminimum client’s requirements, they will receive a bonusinaccordance to the client’s extra g ain. The level of transparencyis also improved. Open book accountingisanexcellentinstrument provided thatthe stakeholders agree onthe i nformation tobeshared and to itslevel of detail(InPro,2009).Nextto the adoption of integrated procurement method,thenewrealestate strategy for hospital building projects addresses aninnovative pro ductdevelopment andlife-cycledesignapproaches. A sustainablebusiness case for the investment and exploitation of hospital buildings relies on dynamic life-cycle managementthat includes considerations and analysis of the market development over time nextto thebuilding life-cycle costs (inv estment/initial cost, operationalcost,andlogisticcost). Compared totheconventional life-cycle costing method, the dynamiclife-cycle management encompasses a shiftfrom focusing onlyonminimizing the costs tofocusingon maximizing thetotal benefit that can be gained. On eof the determiningfactorsfor a successful implementationof dynamiclife-cyclemanagementis thesustainabledesign ofthe building andbuildingcomponents,which meansthatthe design carri es sufficient flexibility to accommodatepossible changes in thelong term (Prins,1992).Designing based on theprinciples of life-cycle managementaffects th erole of thearchitect, as he needs tobe well informed about the usage scenariosand related financial arrangements, the changing social and physicalenvironments, and new technologies. Designneeds tointegrate people activities and businessstrategies overtime. In this context, the architect is required toalign thedesign strategie swiththe organisational, local and global policies on finance, business operations, health and safety, environment, etc.(Sebastianet al., 2009).The combinationof processand productinnovation, and the changingrolesof thebuilding actors can be accommodated by integrated projectdeliv ery or IPD (AIA California Council, 2007).IPD is an approach that integrates people,systems, business structures and practicesinto a process that collaboratively harnesses the talentsandinsights of all participants toreduce waste andoptimizeefficiency throughall phases of design,fabrication andconstruction.IPDprinciplescan be applied toa variety ofcontractualarrangements. IPD teamswill usually include memberswell beyond the basictriad of client, architect,and contractor.At a minimum,though, an IntegratedProject should include a tight collaboration betweenthe client,the architect, and themain contra ctor ultimately responsiblefor construction of the project, from the early designuntil the project handover.The key toa successful IPD isassembl ingateam thatis committedto collaborativeprocesses and iscapable of working togethereffectively. IPD is built on collaboration. As a result, it can only be successful if theparticipantsshareand apply common valuesand goals.3. Changingroles through BIM applicationBuilding information model(BIM) comprisesICT frameworks and toolsthat cansupport the integrated collaboration based onlife-cycle designapproach. BIM is a digitalrepresentation of physical andfunctional characteristics of a facility.As suchitserves as a shared knowledge resourcefor information about afacility forming a reliablebasis for decisions duringits lifecyclefrom inception onward (National Institute of Building Sciences NIBS,2007). BIMfacilitatestime and placeindependent collaborative working. A basicpremise of BIM iscollaboration by different stakeholders at differentphases of the life cycle ofa faci lity toinsert, extract, update or modify information in theBIM to support andreflect the rolesof that stakeholder.BIM in itsultimate form, as ashared digital representation founded on openstandards forinteroperability,can become a virtualinformation model to be h anded from the designteam to thecontractor and subcontractors and t hen to the client (Sebastianet al., 2009).BIMis not the same as the earlier knowncomputer aided design(CAD). BIM goes further than an application to generate digital (2D or3D)drawings (Bratton,2009). BIM is an integrated model inwhich all process and product information is combined,stored,elaborated, and interactively distri buted toall relevant buildingactors.As a central model for allinvolvedactors throughouttheproject lifecycle,BIM develops and evolves as the project progresses.Using BIM,the proposed design andengineering solutionscan be measured against theclient’s requirementsandexpectedbuilding performance.The functionalities of BIMto support thedesign process extend to multidimensional (nD), including: three-dimensional visualisationanddetailing,clash detection,ma terial schedule,planning, cost estimate,production andlogistic information, and as-built documents.During the construction process, BIM can support the communication between thebuildingsite,the factoryand the design office–whichis crucialforan effective and efficient prefabrication and assembly processesas well asto prevent orsolve problems related tounforeseen errors or modifications. When thebuilding is in use, BIMcan beused in combinationwiththe intelligent building systemsto provide and maintain up-to-date informationofthe b uilding performance, includingthelife-cyclecost.To unleashthe full potentialof moreefficientinformation exchan gein the AEC/FM industry in collaborativeworking usingBIM, both highquality openinternational standards andhigh qualityimplementations of these standardsmust bein place. The IFC openstandardisgen erally agreed to be ofhigh quality and is widely implemented in software. Unfortunately,the certificationprocess allows poor qualityimplementations tobecertifiedand essentially renders thecertified softwareuseless for anypractical usage withIFC. IFCcompliant BIMis actuallyused less than manual draftingforarchitectsand contractors, and show about the same usagefor engineers. Arecent survey shows thatCAD(as a closed-system)isstill the major formoftechnique used in design work(over 60percent)while BIM is usedinaround 20 percentofprojectsfor architects andinaround10 per cent ofprojectsfor engineers andcontractors (Kiviniemi et al.,2008).The applicationof BIMto support an optimal cross-disciplinary andcross-phase collaboration opensanewdimension in the roles andrelationships between thebuilding actors. Several most relevantissuesare:the new role ofamodel manager;the agreement on the acc ess right and Intellectual Property Right(IPR);the liability andpayment a rrangementaccording tothetype of contract and in relation tothe integratedprocurement; andtheuse ofopen international standards.Collaborative working using BIM demands a new expert role ofa mod el manager who possesses ICT as well as construction processknow-how (InPro,2009). The model manager dealswith thesystem as wellas withthe actors. He provides and maintains technological solutions required for BIMfunctionalities, managestheinformationflow, andimproves the ICTskills of the stakeholders.The modelmanager doesnot takedecisionsondesign andengineering solutions, nor theorganisational processes, but his roles in the chain ofdecision making are focused on:●thedevelopment ofBIM,thedefinition ofthestructureand detaillevel ofthemodel, and thedeploymentof relevant BIM tools, such as formodels checking,merging, and clash detections;●the contribution tocollaboration methods, especially decision makingand communication protocols, taskplanning, and risk management;●andthe management of information, in terms of data flow andstorage, identification of communicationerrors, anddecision orprocess (re-)tracking.Regarding the legal and organisational issues, oneof the actualquestions is: “In what waydoes the intellectual property right (IPR)in collab orative workingusing BIM differ from the IPR inatraditional teamwork?”. In terms of combined work, the IPRof eachelement isattachedto its creator.Althoughit seemstobe a fully integrat ed design,BIM actuallyresulted from a combinationof works/elements; for instance:the outlineof the building design,is createdby the architect, the design forthe electrical system, is createdby the electricalcontractor, etc.Thus, incaseof BIMasa combined work, the IPR is similarto traditional teamwork.Working withBIM with authorshipregistrationfunctionalitiesmay actually make it easier to keep track o fthe IPR(Chao-Duivis,2009).How does collaborative working,using BIM, effect the contractualrelationship? On the one hand,collaborative working usingBIM does notnecessarily changethe liabilitypositioninthe contract nor does it obligate analliancecontract. The GeneralPrinciples of BIM Addendum con firms: ‘This does not effectuate or require arestructuring of contractual relationships or shiftingof risks between or among the ProjectParti cipants other than as specifically required per the ProtocolAddendum and itsAttachments’(ConsensusDOCS, 2008). On the otherhand, changes interms of paymentschemes can be anticipated. Collaborativeprocesses using BIM willlead to the shifting of activitiesfrom to theearly design phase. Much,if not all,activities inthe detailedengineering and s pecification phasewill be done inthe earlierphases. It means that significant payment forthe engineering phase,whichmay countup to 40per cent ofthe design cost,cannolonger be expected. As engineering work is done concurrently with the design, a new proportionof the payment in the earlydesign phase is necessary(Chao-Duivis, 2009).4.Review ofongoing hospitalbuilding projects using BIM InTheNetherlands,the changing roles inhospital building proj ects are part of thestrategy,which aims at achieving asustainable real estate in responseto the changing healthcare policy.Referring toliterature and previousresearch, the main factors thatinfluencethe success of the changing rolescan be concluded as: the implementat ion ofanintegratedprocurementmethodand a life-cycle design approach for a sustainable collaborative process; the agreementon the BIMstructure and the intellectual rights;and the integration of the role ofa modelmanager. The preceding sections havediscussed the conceptual thinking on how todeal with these factors effectively.This currentsection observes twoactual projectsandcompares the actual practice with the conceptual viewrespectively.Themainissues,which are observed in the case studies,are:●the selectedprocurementmethod and the rolesof the involvedparties within thismethod;●theimplementation of thelife-cycle design approach;●the type,structure, and functionalities of BIM usedinthe project;●the opennessindata sharing and transferof themodel,and the intended useof BIMin thefuture; and●theroles and tasks ofthe model manager.The pilot experienceofhospitalbuilding projects using BIMin the Netherlands can be observed atUniversity Medical Centre St Rad boud (furtherreferred as UMC) and MaximaMedicalCentre (further referred as MMC). At UMC, the new building projectforthe Facultyof Dentistryin the city of Nijmegen has been dedicatedas a BIMpilot project. At MMC,BIM is used in designingnew buildings for Medical Simulat ion and Mother-and-ChildCentre in thecityof Veldhoven.The first case is a projectat theUniversity Medical Centre(UMC) StRadboud. UMC ismore thanjust a hospital. UMC combinesmedicalservices,educationand research. More than8500 staff and3000 students work at UMC. As a partof the innovative real estate strategy, UMC hasconsidered to use BIM forits building projects. The new development ofthe Faculty of Dentistry and the surrounding buildin gs on theKapittelweg in Nijmegen has been chosen as a pilotproject togather practical knowledge and experience oncollaborative processes with BIM support.The mainambition to be achieved through the use ofBIMin the buildingprojects at UMC can be summarised as follows:●using 3D visualisationto enhance thecoordination and communication amongthe buildingactors,and the user participationindesign;●facilitating optimal information accessibility and exchangefor ahigh●consistencyofthedrawingsanddocuments across disciplines and phases;●integrating thearchitectural design withstructural analysis,energy analysis,cost estimation,andplanning;●interactively evaluatingthe designsolutionsagainst the programme of requirementsand specifications;●reducingredesign/remakecosts throughclash detection during thedesign process; and●optimising themanagement ofthe facility through theregistration of medical installations and equipments, fixedandflexible furniture, product andoutput specifications,andoperational data.Thesecond case is a project at the Maxima Medical Centre (MMC).MMC is alargehospital resulted from a mergerbetween the Diaconessenhuis inEindhoven and St JosephHospital in Veldhoven. Annuallythe3,400staffof MMC provides medicalservicesto morethan 450,000 visitorsandpatients. A large-scaled extension project of the hospital inVeldhovenis a part ofits real estate strategy. A medi cal simulation centre and a women-and-childrenmedicalcentre are among the most importantnew facilities withinthis extension project.Th edesign hasbeen developed using3Dmodelling with several functionalitiesofBIM.The findings from both cases andthe analysis are as follows. Both UMC and MMC opted for a traditional procurement method in which th eclient directlycontracted an architect, astructural engineer, andamechanical, electricaland plumbing (MEP)consultant in thedesign team. Oncethe design and detailedspecifications are finished, a tender procedurewill follow to selectacontractor. Despitethe choice forthis traditionalmethod, manyattempts have beenmade for a closera nd more effective multidisciplinary collaboration. UMC dedicated a relativel ylong preparation phase with the architect,structural engineer and MEPconsultant before the designcommenced. This preparation phasewas aimedat creating a common vision on the optimal way for collaboration us ing BIM as anICT support.Some results of this preparation phase ar e:adocument thatdefines the common ambition for the projectandthe collaborativeworking process and a semi-formal agreement that states thecommitment of the building actorsfor collaboration. Other than UMC,MMCselectedan architecture firm with an i n-house engineering department. Thus,the collaboration betweenthe architectand structural engineer can takeplace within the samefir musing thesamesoftware application.Regarding the life-cycle design approach, themainattentionisgiven on life-cycle costs, maintenance needs,and facilitymanagemen t.Using BIM,bothhospitals intend to get a muchbetterinsightin theseaspects over the life-cycle period. The life-cycle sustainab ility criteria are includedin theassignments for the design teams. Multidisciplinarydesignersand engineers are askedto collaborate more closely and to interact with the end-users to address life-cycle requirements. However,ensuring the buildingactors to engageinanintegratedcollaboration togenerate sustainabledesign solutions thatmeet thelife-cycle performanceexpectations is still d ifficult. Theseactorsare contracted through a traditional procurementmethod. Their tasks are specific,their involvement is rather short-term in a certain projectphase,their responsibilities and liabilitiesarelimited,and there is no tangible incentive for integrated collaboration.Fromthe currentprogress ofboth projects, it can be observed that the typeand structureof BIMrelies heavilyon the choice for BIM software applications.RevitArchitecture and RevitStructure by Autodesk。

Unit 1 the owner’s perspective 第1单元业主的观点1.2 Major Types of Construction 1.2大建筑类型Since most owners are generally interested in acquiring only a specific type of constructed facility, they should be aware of the common industrial practices for the type of construction pertinent to them [1]. Likewise, the construction industry is a conglomeration of quite diverse segments and products. Some owners may procure a constructed facility only once in a long while and tend to look for short term advantages. However ,many owners require periodic acquisition of new facilities and/or rehabilitation of existing facilities. It is to their advantage to keep the construction industry healthy and productive. Collectively, the owners have more power to influence the construction industry than they realize because, by their individual actions, they can provide incentives for innovation, efficiency and quality in construction [2]. It is to the interest of all parties that the owners take an active interest in the construction and exercise beneficial influence on the performance of the industry.由于大多数业主通常只对获得特定类型的建筑设施感兴趣,所以他们应该了解与他们有关的建筑类型的常见工业实践[1]。

工程管理外文翻译外文翻译学院能源与建筑工程学院专业工程管理导师学生2015年4月10 日THINKING OF COST ENGINEERING PROJECTAbstract: The premise of the project cost management is to meet the project quality, schedule, contract requirements, as for the project costs, as well as achieving the intended target by planning, organization, control and coordination, and as a scientific management activities to reduce the costAs far as possible. It is mainly through technology (such as the selection of the construction plan), economic (such as accounting) and management (such as construction organization management, rules and regulations etc.) activities to achieve the intended target and the purpose of profit.Cost is the sum of all kinds of construction process in the project cost. The content of cost management is very extensive, runs through every procedure and every aspect of project management activities, from the signing of the contract to the construction preparation, until the completion acceptance, every link cannot do without the cost management. As for the complete process of cost management to say, its content includes: cost prediction, cost control, cost accounting, cost analysis and cost assessment, etc.. Here only to analysis through three aspects :project cost forecast, cost control, the effective way reduce the cost to elaborate.1. Do a good cost forecast, identify the objectives of cost controlCost prediction is the basis of cost plan, which provide the basis for compiling the scientific, reasonable cost control target. Therefore, to improve the scientific cost forecast, cost plan to reduce costs and improve economic efficiency, which plays an important role in engineering management. Strengthening the control of cost, first of all to pay more attention on cost prediction is an essential behavior. The main content of Cost prediction is the use of scientific methods, to forecast according to cost target of the project ,construction conditions, mechanical equipment, and the quality of personnel of the project.1.1.Prediction of workers, material, costThe first is to analysis the project's artificial cost price, then analysis the wages and the market of the social workers , according to the amount of time and ready for the staff to analysis if the accommodation is covered in the project contract price of labor cost.The material costs accounted for a large proportion of Construction and installation cost, should be the focus to accurately grasp. to analysis the main materials, auxiliary materials, other materials, approved materials supply locations, the purchase price, mode of transport and handling costs. analysis the quota material specified in the specifications with the actual material specifications of different comparison of actual use, with different cement content and quota ratio, pooled analysis of budget in other materials, in the concrete practice to be mixed with a certain amount of admixture.③Fees for using machinery: the models and the number of machinery andequipment bidding application in the group is usually calculated by the construction method of the quota, which is different from the actual construction site in some ways, and work efficiency is also different. Therefore, We have to measure the actual forecast happen machine cost. At the same time, we also have to calculate the amortization machinery rental possible fees and the purchase of new machinery and equipment costs, approve the main mechanical shift production quota.1.2 Prediction of cost changes caused by the plan of construction projectThe project after winning the bid, must develop advanced and feasible in technology and reasonable construction organization design according to the actual situation of the construction site of the project, combined with the local economy, natural and geographical conditions, the construction technology, equipment selection, and the actual situation of project scheduling. Comparing the different between the construction method implemented by applying group and tender preparation time, or the different of quota of construction method to design a correct prediction.1.3.Prediction of aided engineering feeAided engineering refers to engineering quantity list or not given in the design drawings, and it is indispensable in construction, such as concrete mixing station, tunnel construction of the three tube line two, high pressure into the hole, also need to predict by construction plan for actual.1.4 .Prediction of large temporary facilities feePrediction of large temporary work fee should be investigated in detail and fullydemonstration, to determine a reasonable target values.1.5.Prediction of small temporary facilities fee, and the transferring of site fee Small temporary facility costs include: temporary facilities layout, according to how much time period and planned to invest in personnel, equipment to determine the temporary facilities scale and standard, according to actual and reference of the historical data for the control of construction in the objective value determination. The transferring of site should be based on the distance and quasi transfer personnel, equipment to predict the target value.1.6. Prediction of the risk of out of control of costRisk analysis of project cost targets, is to implement the prediction of the factors that may affect the realization of ex ante analysis in the project, often can be analyzed from the following aspects:1) Understanding of the technical characteristics of engineering project, such as structural characteristics, geological features.2) On the analysis of the unit owners, including credit of owners of units , the availability of funds, organization and coordination ability.3) Analysis of internal project organization system, including the construction organization design, resources, quality and other aspects.4) The analysis of traffic, energy, electric power of project in local site.5) Analysis on climate.In short, through the prediction of the main cost above, we can determine the control standard of worker, material, machine and indirect costs, can also determine the needed time to complete this project in the long period, so to finish the target control of the management fee. Therefore, cost forecasting is the basis of cost control.2.Around the cost objectives, determining the cost control principlesThe construction project cost control is the input of resources in the implementation process, and pay attention on the supervision of construction process and the results, inspection and measurement, and to take measures to ensure achieving the project cost goals.The object of cost control is project, its subject is the person's management activities, the purpose is reasonable use of manpower, material and financial resources, reducecost, increase benefit. Therefore, the general principle of cost control are:2.1 Saving principleSave means project save the human, material and financial resources construction, which is the basic principle of cost control. Saving is not absolutely negative restriction and supervision, but to create a condition actively, we should focus on the per inspection, process control , and check the deviation in the implementation process, to optimize the construction scheme, improve the scientific management level of the project to save.2.2 The principle of full controlThe principle of full control includes two meanings, namely the full staff control and full process control.1) Project full staff controlCost control consists of all departments, team and staff in project organization of work involved, and related to each of the vital interests of employees, so should fully mobilize the enthusiasm of each department, each employee team for controlling and concerning about the cost, to establish full control idea, if we only consider that cost control is responsible for ore settlement and financial matters, it is just one-sided.2) The entire process of project cost controlThe project cost involves the entire project cycle, the whole process of project cost formation, from the beginning of construction preparation, through the construction process to be completed after the transfer of the warranty period. Therefore, the cost control work is to accompany each stage of project construction, such as the formulation of optimal construction scheme in the construction preparation stage, according to the requirements of design and construction specification for construction, make full use of existing resources, reduce the construction cost, and ensure the project quality, reduce project rework fee and after the project there may form the transfer of the warranty cost. In work’s acceptance stage, we have to adopt timely manner to the additional contract price for the project settlement, so that the cost of the project from first to last can be hold under effect management.2.3 Target control principleTarget management is the basic techniques and methods of management activities. It realize the plan policy, task, target and measures and make that to be implemented by decomposition. In the implementation process of the management of objectives, target setting should be practical, the more detailed the better, to implement the department, team and group or individual; target responsibility should be comprehensive, not only have the responsibility, but also to have more responsibility of cost; combining the responsibility, right, benefit, make effort on the responsible departments (people) for examination and evaluation of the performance, and with the salary, bonus, do award or publish.2.4 Dynamic control principleCost control is carried out in a continuously changing environment management activities, so we must adhere to the principle of dynamic control, dynamic control is to input the labor, material, machine into the construction process, to collect the actual value cost, compare it with the target value, check whether there have any deviation, if without deviation, continued the process, or to find the specific reasons, to take corresponding measures. The implementation of cost control process should follow the "exception" management method, the so-called "exceptions" refers to problem which do not often appear in the project construction activities, but the key problem of cost have a major influence successfully completed, also must be attached great importance. In the project implementation of process the "exception" belongs to usually has the following several aspects:1) Importance: general is difference from the amount of point of view which have important significance, it is called "exception", if we have to determine the cost difference between the amount, we should determine the percentage difference for the original standard according to the specific circumstances of the project. The difference also can be divided into favorable and negative. The actual cost is lower than the standard cost too much is not necessarily a good thing, it could cause two cases: one is the adverse impact to the follow-up project or assignment: another may cause low quality, and lead to rework and increased warranty cost, quality cost control also affect corporate reputation.2) Consistency: although some of the cost difference is no more than the percentagespecified or the minimum amount, but has been hovering near the upper lower limit line, should also be regarded as "exception". Means that the original cost projections may be not accurate, should be timely adjusted according to actual situation.3) Ability to control: some are project managers can not control the cost of the project, even if significant differences occurred, should also be regarded as "exceptional", such as land acquisition, demolition, temporary rental costs rise.4) The particularity of the project construction: which have effect on the whole process of project cost, even if the differences did not reach the importance position, should also be paid attention to cost management. Such as mechanical repair expenses of the one-sided emphasis on savings. It may reduce the cost in the short term, but due to lack of repair may cause future downtime repair, thereby affecting the smooth progress of construction production.3 .To find effective ways ,and to achieve the cost control targetThere have a variety methods to reduce the project cost, it can take measures from organization technology, economy, to contract management.3.1 Organizational measures taken to control engineering costFirst of all to clear the institutions and personnel of Project Manager Department and division of functions and powers of that. The project manager department is operating management team, it is appointed by legal person of enterprise as his representative to power project management team, after the completion of the project this appointment will collapse, so he is not an economic entity , and he is responsible for the overall interests, also should coordinate responsibility, right, interests between the company and the company.Secondly, define the cost control and tasks, so that certain person will responsible for the cost control, avoid there have unclear responsibility while problem happen.3.2 To take technical measures to control project costTake technical measures is to give no limitation on subjective initiative of technical staff in the construction stage, and try to check and approve technical and economic demonstration which is necessary, then to seek more economic and reliable solution, thus reduce the cost of the project, including the use of new materials, new technology, new method to save energy, improve the mechanical operation etc..3.3Take economic measures to control engineering costEconomic measures to control project cost includes:(1) The artificial cost control:Labor costs accounted for a larger proportion of project costs, generally at about 10%, so we should strictly control the labor cost. To control the amount of labor, we must reduce or shorten labor consumption in some procedures, so as to reduce the labor consumption, control engineering cost objective.(2) Control material cost:The cost of materials general of the total project cost of the 65%~75%, directly influence the engineering cost and economic benefit. The general approach is to quantity-price separation principle, mainly do the work of two.One is to control the amount of material: the first is to determine material consumption according to the quota, implement the system of limits: the second is to improve the construction technology, promote the use of reducing the material consumption of new technologies, new processes, new materials. Then there are the engineering function analysis, analyzing the performance of the material, in order to replace expensive materials to used cheap materials, strengthening material management turnover, prolong the number of circle.The two is to control the price of materials: mainly by the procurement department to control. First carries on the investigation to the market, with high quality, goods than three, then purchase preferential material: followed by the rational organization of transportation, the nearest purchase material, choose the most economical mode of transport, to reduce the transportation cost: then is to consider the time value of money, reduce capital occupied, reasonably determining the purchase batch and batches as far as possible, reduce material reserve.(3) Control of mechanical cost:To reduce the current consumption in the construction, through the reasonable construction organization, machinery allocation, improve the use of machinery and equipment and good condition rate, at the same time, strengthen the on-site equipment repair, maintenance, overhaul, repair, often reduce the expenses, to avoid improper use cause mechanical equipment idle; strengthen the management plan of equipment leasing, make full use of idle machinery and social resources, reduce themechanical stage class price from different angles.From the economic point of view, control engineering cost also includes the reward to participants in the Department and individual who participate cost control measures.3.4 Strengthen quality management, control the rework rateIn the construction process, to strict quality engineering, always implement the quality policy of our bureau "to fine, honest, better, update", the quality of self personnel at all levels, post, duty, point to strengthen the quality inspection and management in construction process really carried out through the whole process, take preventive measures, eliminate the common quality problem, do a molding engineering, once qualified, eliminate rework phenomenon, avoid unnecessary human, financial, material and other large amount of investment and increase of project cost.3.5, Strengthening the contract management, control project costContract management is the important content of construction enterprise management, but also reduce the cost of the project, also is the effective way to improve the economic benefit. Time frame for project construction contract management should begin with contract negotiations, to the end of warranty date, especially to strengthen contract management in construction process, do well in contract management of attack and defense, attack means during the execution of the contract to pay close attention to the effect of our progress in performance of the contract, to prevent being claim. In contract management tasks ,we take the right and wrong every day to read between the lines by in contract, search for the opportunity to attack and conservation measures.In short, cost prediction establish target behavior for cost, and cost control also has focus. Without cost control, cost prediction will lose the meaning of existence, there was no way to talk about cost management, the two complement each other, therefore, we should research from theory ,and work in practice in full swing, to finish the work effectively.Keyword:Engineering、Project management、cost、Optimization关于工程项目成本管理的思考摘要:项目成本管理是在保证满足工程质量、工期等合同要求的前提下,对项目实施过程中所发生的费用,通过计划、组织、控制和协调等活动实现预定的成本目标,并尽可能地降低成本费用的一种科学的管理活动,它主要通过技术(如施工方案的制定比选)、经济(如核算)和管理(如施工组织管理、各项规章制度等)活动达到预定目标,实现盈利的目的。
