There is often a direct relationship between the names of budget staff and cost staff. If you just want to learn the training of cost engineers, you may not have a good understanding of these three terms. In fact, the cost officer evolved from the budget officer. It is stipulated in the relevant national documents in 2005. At present, cost engineers are still called budget officers in many places. In fact, both are basically a profession. Details are as follows:

In our country, consumers before 2005 are called budget officers. After 2005, the Ministry of Construction issued a document naming the qualification of budget estimator as the qualification of cost estimator. After that, the budget officer becomes the cost officer. In layman's terms, cost engineers used to be called budgeters. But for the cost engineer, it is the cost engineer (budget engineer) who has passed the national unified cost engineer examination, obtained the corresponding qualification certificate through the examination and registered in the local cost management association, and is called the cost engineer.

In fact, it is not entirely correct to say that the budget officer is the cost officer. There are several reasons for the interpretation of national education:

Different concepts:

There is a world of difference between budget and cost, and budget is only a small subject within the cost range;

Different scope of work:

The budgeter mainly emphasizes the budget rather than other work related to the project cost, which is relatively extensive and can engage in bidding, bidding, auditing and other work.

The filing mechanism is different:

In the past, as long as the budget officer got the certificate and seal, he basically didn't care how you practiced, but now the cost officer has to register, and the local cost management department carries out management and continuing education and training.

The scope of use is different: generally speaking, the budget officer can only practice in this province, while the cost officer is suitable for the whole country.

For cost engineers and cost engineers, they can be literally distinguished.

Give a chestnut:

Cost engineers and cost engineers are just like the difference between engineers and technicians. Whether the project can be undertaken across regions is the qualification of the consulting unit, which has nothing to do with the cost engineer. According to the current practice, the trans-regional must be Grade A cost consulting units. When bidding, it is necessary to affix the seal of cost engineer, which is common for registered cost engineers all over the country; If you want to affix the seal of the cost personnel, don't specify the cost personnel. You don't say that the seals of local cost personnel are valid, nor are the seals of other provinces and cities.

Under what circumstances is the seal of the cost engineer or the seal of the cost engineer valid?

There are regulations in various places, and if the bidding documents for special projects stipulate that the seal of the cost engineer should be stamped, it should also be stamped.

Cost engineers and cost engineers also have something in common: China GM; They are all professional qualifications for pre-settlement audit.

There are also differences between cost engineers and cost engineers: teachers are higher than engineers at different levels; With different authorities, the cost engineer can only compile, but not audit, which means he has no right to audit, but the cost engineer can; The title of the representative is different, and the cost engineer is equivalent to the intermediate level. Cost engineers are only junior; The biggest difference is that the salary is different.

Note: The fundamental difference between a cost engineer and a cost engineer lies in:

Cost engineer belongs to the professional qualification set by the state according to law, is the administrative license implemented by the state administrative organs, and is the professional market access. Cost engineers have the right to sign the corresponding cost documents according to law and bear legal responsibilities according to law. Cost engineer is a kind of post setting, and the certificate of cost engineer belongs to the professional level certificate, which does not have the nature of administrative license, nor is it the market access of professional qualifications. The responsibility of the cost engineer is to assist the cost engineer to complete the cost work, and the cost engineer does not have the right to issue the cost documents independently.

Through the above detailed introduction, I believe that students who are new to cost training will have detailed answers. But in order to become a truly qualified cost engineer, all students should cooperate with our national education curriculum and listen carefully. Only with excellent professional skills can the level of cost engineers be by going up one flight of stairs.
