Analysis of business planning in cost management of highway construction project
Highway projects typically cover long distances,pass through numerous towns,and face challenges such as land acquisition and demolition difficulties,large-scale construction,and complex project organization.Generally,after a project is awarded,the construction unit must develop a business management plan outline for the project implementation phase.This outline,based on contract documents such as bidding documents,clarifica-tion materials,meeting minutes from contract negotiations,letters of commitment,and contract agreements,as well as the company's own construction experience and capabilities,serves as the guiding document for project business management.This process involves clarifying and determining the scope of the contract,the work content,and in-terfaces,and categorizing and refining the bid budget.It also identifies potentially contentious or unclear contract terms,followed by a cost analysis to identify the main profit and loss points within the contract.Based on this,planners perform a diversified assessment of the project's risk points by combining contract revenue and cost analy-ses.During construction,factors such as delayed demolition and design changes often affect progress,leading to compressed effective construction periods,changes in the construction organization plan,increased organizational difficulty,and significantly higher cost inputs.As a result,cost-efficiency becomes a serious concern.Therefore,business planning and management throughout the entire cost management process are crucial.Key points worth ex-ploring include how to utilize contract provisions for reasonable change claims and how to turn project risks into op-portunities.This paper,based on the ongoing construction of X Highway,analyzes the impact of contract clauses,construction organization,and construction management on project costs.It aims to explore business planning in the entire cost management process to provide valuable references for similar projects.
