From June 4 to 5, the second Shanghai Sichuan Engineering Consulting Summit Forum was held in Shanghai with the theme of "cornerstone and origin - Exploration of professional development of cost consulting". It aims to further study and explore the professional development of consulting in the whole process of construction engineering and promote the high-quality development of engineering cost industry. The forum was jointly held by China Construction Engineering Cost Management Association, Shanghai Construction Engineering Consulting Industry Association and Sichuan Cost Engineer Association, and attracted more than 350 industry colleagues from all over the world to actively participate.

Yang Likun, CFA, attended the forum and delivered a speech. Leaders and guests attending the forum include Wang Wei, deputy director of the standard and quota Department of the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, Pei Xiao, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of housing and urban rural development, Xie Hongxue, President of Sichuan Cost Engineer Association, Xia Bing, President of Shanghai Construction Engineering Consulting Industry Association, etc.

In his speech, Wang Wei, deputy director general, pointed out that major changes are taking place in the internal and external environment of the construction industry. As an important part of the construction industry and engineering construction, the engineering cost industry should keep up with these changes, be able to reflect and serve these changes, actively embrace the changes, and further promote the market-oriented, international, information-based and legal reform. In the aspect of market-oriented reform, we should adhere to the price orientation of market transaction and reduce the government's administrative intervention in the formation of project cost. In terms of internationalization, we should actively learn from the advanced management mode of developed countries and the innovative practices of coastal special zones. The government should really lay down management services, establish an orderly and sufficient market competition environment, cultivate enterprises with core competitiveness, and enhance the international competitiveness of China's engineering cost consultation. In terms of information innovation, based on the "accurate use of data" and the "information exchange and sharing" as a breakthrough, accelerate the digital transformation of project cost. In the aspect of legal construction, through the pilot, further improve the relevant system, promote the integration of cost and the whole process consultation, and provide system guarantee for the reform of project cost management.

In his speech, President Yang Likun, combined with the theme of "cornerstone and origin" of this forum, stressed that the engineering cost industry should seize the opportunity of China's economy changing from the stage of high-speed growth to the stage of high-quality development, link development with "quality" and "efficiency", and form a new development consensus and new development force by comprehensively implementing the new development concept. We call on all colleagues to work together in the following three areas to lead the high-quality development of the industry. First, stick to the source and continue to give full play to the professional advantages of engineering cost consultation. We should firmly grasp and give full play to the core role of engineering cost consultation, do the cost service content of each stage of fine engineering construction, improve the service value and quality, adapt to market changes and jointly promote the development of engineering cost consultation business to a better direction. The second is to forge ahead and fully promote the whole process of engineering consulting services. Engineering cost consulting enterprises should seize the new opportunity of development, take "make-up board" as an important task at present, promote business expansion through strong and strong combination, promote work innovation through new technology, improve work efficiency through information technology, and improve service quality through refined management. Third, cross border integration to promote the development of digital cost. Under the new situation, the promotion and application of information technology will cause great development and change in the industry. Engineering cost consulting enterprises should pay attention to the construction of information management system, the construction of cost information database, BIM Technology, AI technology, big data and other new technologies, and accelerate the overall upgrading of the industry by means of innovation and cross-border integration.

In the keynote speech of the forum, fan Yun, deputy to the National People's Congress, Tan Xinya, President of Sichuan construction engineering quality safety and supervision Association and other experts respectively delivered keynote speeches on the theme of "implementing the spirit of the two conferences, deepening reform and innovation" and "Several Thoughts on deepening reform of the construction industry".
