This Master’s thesis aims to propose improvements for the engineering cost consultation provided by the consultation enterprise for the construction process. Currently, most of the businesses in engineering cost consultation enterprise (ECCE) mainly focus on the control of engineering cost done at later stages. The purpose of this study is to improve consultancy services for ECCE in order to better match the needs of customers.
In this study, the data is collected from reviewing the external procedures and regulations, internal documents from electrical power enterprise, the interview with the executive in ECCE and the researcher’s observations, and the questionnaires with stakeholders. The data collected was used to analyse the current state in engineering cost management and the services offered by ECCE. Data is also applied as input to build the proposal for improved consultancy services, which is subsequently validated with industry experts.
The outcome of this study is proposal for ECCE concerning consultancy services to make them more complete and efficient for their clients in China. Outcome of this study will help ECCE improve their consultancy services to better satisfy the needs of customers in every stage of consultancy services. Simultaneously, engineering cost would be controlled more effectively in the whole construction process.
