What is the difference between a builder and a estimator?

A construction engineer is a practicing registered person who relies on professional technology and focuses on engineering project management, and recently focuses on construction management. Constructors are compound personnel who understand management, technology, economy, laws and regulations, and have high comprehensive quality, and must not only have theoretical level, but also have rich practical experience and strong organizational ability. After the construction engineer is registered and employed, he can serve as the project manager of the construction project in the name of the construction engineer, engage in the management of other construction activities, and engage in other business stipulated by laws, administrative regulations or construction administrative departments.

The project cost engineer is to calculate, estimate, budget, and settle the amount of funds used in the whole project, and is the direction of the consumption of the whole project material machine. Engineering cost engineer, also known as cost engineer: refers to both understanding of engineering technology, engineering economy and management, and has practical experience, to provide the whole process of cost determination, control and management for construction projects, so that engineering technology and economic management are closely combined, to achieve the most effective use of manpower, material resources and construction funds, so that the established project cost limit is controlled, and to achieve the maximum investment benefits.

More precisely, the cost engineer refers to the engineering economic professionals who are qualified by the state and licensed to practice after registration, and are specifically designated, entrusted or hired by a certain department or a certain unit, and are responsible for and assist them in valuing, pricing and managing the project cost, so as to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

The cost engineer is relatively professional, and the main task in the project is pricing, budgeting, cost accounting, and controlling the project cost.

Constructors do not need professional knowledge in this area, but can be a project manager and be in charge of the overall situation.

A little bit of foolishness!!

Cost engineer is to do project budgeting, including auditing, etc

A constructor is responsible for managing the construction of an engineering project.

The estimator is the estimation of the cost of the whole project.

Cost engineer, also known as "cost engineer", refers to the technical personnel who have obtained the professional qualification certificate of the cost engineer of the People's Republic of China through the professional qualification examination and are engaged in the cost of construction projects after registration.

Job Responsibilities of Cost Engineer:

1. Preparation and review of project estimates, budget estimates.

The project estimate is to estimate the total cost of the specific project to meet the needs of the project proposal, feasibility study and scheme design.

The basic requirements for the preparation of budget estimates are to be able to accurately read drawings and measurements, and be familiar with the composition of the quota list and the basic construction technology. Of course, it is necessary to understand the types of other expenses and the cost calculation standards, such as design, survey, supervision, supporting, consulting, testing and monitoring, and preparation fees.

Second, the bidding documents and the preparation of bills of quantities.

The bidding documents are prepared by the tenderer according to the actual situation of the project and the characteristics of the project, and the bidding documents are important legal documents for bidding and bidding, and the preparation of the bill of quantities is part of the bidding documents, which is issued by the tenderer and is a set of documents issued by the tenderer with the name, nature, characteristics, units, quantities and opening projects, taxes and other related documents of the proposed project.

3. Preparation and review of construction drawing budget.

After the preliminary design of the construction drawings, before the formal start of construction, based on the preliminary design or construction drawing design drawings, budget estimation indicators, budget estimates and market information of the current billing standards, etc., in accordance with the provisions of a calculation procedure, step by step (unit project, single project, construction project) to calculate the total investment in the construction of the construction project, then this is a technical and economic document to determine the cost of the unit project, is the calculation of the process investment, reflects the cost level after the completion of the construction design, and does not directly determine the final settlement.

Fourth, the project settlement preparation and settlement audit.

The audit of project settlement is the audit of the settlement of the project price handled by the construction unit after the completion of the project and the construction unit. The most important work of the project cost completion settlement is to provide a variety of settlement evidence, write the project completion statement needs to prepare a list of various information, and Party A, the audit of the tripartite reconciliation also needs to provide a variety of information list.

5. Project audit.

Sixth, the whole process of cost consulting.

7. Project budget review and performance evaluation.

The difference between a cost engineer and a cost engineer is as follows:

1. Cost engineer refers to the engineering economic professionals who are qualified by the state and approved to practice after registration, and are specifically designated, entrusted or hired by a department or a certain unit, and are responsible for and assist in the valuation, pricing and management of the project cost, so as to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

2. Cost personnel refer to professionals who have passed the cost qualification examination, obtained the "National Construction Project Cost Qualification Certificate", and obtained the professional seal through registration and engaged in engineering cost activities. Originally referred to budget estimators.

3. The cost engineer has the ability to prepare and review the project cost budget, and the cost engineer only has the ability to prepare the project cost budget.

4. The level of the cost engineer is higher than the level of the cost engineer, just like the difference between the grades of senior engineers, engineers, assistant engineers and technicians in engineering.

5. The cost engineer and the cost engineer are obtained through the examination, but the years and examination questions are different.
