How many levels are there for cost engineers?

Cost engineers are generally divided into three grades, namely junior cost engineers, intermediate cost engineers and senior cost engineers.

1, junior cost engineer

Junior cost engineer refers to a professional who has passed the national unified examination, obtained the professional qualification certificate of cost engineer, and engaged in the construction project cost work after registration. Junior cost engineers can only sign technical documents, not economic documents, so they can only be project leaders with a total project cost of less than 5 million.

2, intermediate cost engineer

Intermediate cost engineer refers to a professional who has passed the national unified examination or certification, obtained the professional qualification certificate of cost engineer, and engaged in the construction project cost work after registration. Intermediate cost engineers can sign technical documents and economic documents, and can be the project leader with a total project cost of more than 5 million yuan.

3. Senior Cost Engineer

Senior cost engineer refers to a senior professional who has been engaged in construction project cost work for many years after obtaining the professional qualification certificate of cost engineer, has rich experience and outstanding ability, and has been recognized by relevant departments or industry associations. Senior cost engineer can sign economic documents and is the person in charge of the whole process cost management of large-scale construction projects.

Work content of cost engineer:

1, preparation of investment estimation report

In the stage of project proposal and feasibility study, the cost engineer needs to prepare an investment estimation report according to the basic situation of the project, reflecting the total investment and expected income of the project and providing a basis for decision-making.

2. Preparation of design budget estimate

In the design stage, the cost engineer needs to prepare the design budget according to the design drawings and quantities, reflecting the total cost of the project and the cost of each sub-project, and providing the basis for the subsequent construction drawing design and construction organization design.

3, the preparation of construction drawing budget

In the construction drawing design stage, the cost engineer needs to prepare the construction drawing budget according to the construction drawings and quantities, reflecting the total project cost and the cost of each sub-project, and providing the basis for the subsequent construction organization and cost control.

4, prepare the tender documents

In the bidding stage, cost engineers need to prepare bidding documents according to the requirements of bidding documents, including bidding quotation documents and construction organization design documents, and participate in bidding competition.
