Provide a graduation thesis of construction engineering management major for reference. Aiming at the problems related to the transformation of engineering supervision enterprises to project management, this paper expounds the connection and difference between engineering supervision and project management, and puts forward some opinions on some problems in the transformation of engineering supervision enterprises to project management. Keywords: project supervision; Project management; Discussion on the problem of transformation China has implemented the construction supervision system for more than ten years, which has achieved remarkable results, played an important role in controlling project quality, investment and progress, won wide recognition from the society, and promoted the improvement of project construction management level in China. A large number of national key projects and large and medium-sized projects, such as Three Gorges Project, Qinghai-Tibet Railway, Power Transmission from West to East, Power Transmission from West to East and South-to-North Water Transfer, have fully proved that the role of project supervision is becoming increasingly obvious [I]. However, we should also be soberly aware that with the integration of the world economy and China's entry into WTO, the continuous maturity and development of market economy and the continuous evolution of project management methods, the purpose of construction projects is huge and complex, which will bring severe challenges to the project supervision cause in China, which is still in its development stage. The development trend of supervision enterprises is a common concern in the industry. The Guiding Opinions on Cultivating and Developing Engineering General Contracting and Project Management Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Construction (hereinafter referred to as the Guiding Opinions) encourages qualified engineering supervision enterprises to develop in the direction of project management, further expand their business scope and provide more comprehensive technical and consulting services for engineering construction. Engineering project management is not only the expansion of engineering supervision business, but also the extension of related business of other engineering construction management units. Compared with engineering supervision, the service object, service content and service stage of engineering project management are more extensive, and the requirements for the competitive strength, business ability and management level of engineering project management enterprises are higher. Not all engineering supervision enterprises are suitable to develop in the direction of engineering project management. However, some supervision enterprises unilaterally believe that only the direction of project management is the direction of enterprises' efforts can they develop and grow, otherwise there is no way out. Some three-level supervision enterprises established at the county and town level changed their names to "so-and-so project management company" without knowing what project management is. This kind of eager pursuit of success and blind pursuit of the wind cannot but attract the attention of the industry. The Guiding Opinions issued by the Ministry of Construction and the Trial Measures for Construction Project Management define the construction project management as "the professional management and service activities of the whole process or stage of the construction project entrusted by the project owner". In my opinion, this formulation of singling out the service objects of project management and excluding the management subject blurs the boundary between project management and project supervision, which is easy to cause misunderstanding and lead to the marginalization of project supervision, which is debatable. From the perspective of engineering project management theory and international engineering practice, engineering project management is a broad concept, and foreign engineering consulting institutions serve a wide range of customers, not just owners or builders. What is the relationship between project supervision and project management? How do engineering supervision enterprises consider developing in the direction of project management? This is a problem that should be seriously considered to promote the healthy development of engineering supervision in China, and it is also a topic that the author wants to discuss with colleagues in the industry. 1 Relationship between project supervision and project management The work of project supervision can be summarized as "three controls (quality, investment and progress), three controls (contract, safety and information) and one coordination", and project management can also provide similar services for clients. There is an inclusive relationship between project management and project supervision. In a certain sense, project supervision can also be regarded as the basic business content of project management. From the perspective of China's engineering management system, there are many similarities between engineering supervision and project management, but they are not completely equivalent concepts, and the fundamental boundaries between them cannot be confused, let alone confused. It is considered that engineering project management is engineering supervision. First of all, the legal status of project supervision and project management is different. Although both project supervision and project management are related management activities to control project objectives, their legal status is different. Engineering supervision, as one of the basic systems implemented in China's construction field, is not only clearly stipulated in the Building Law, but also must be implemented in some specific construction projects, such as national key construction projects, large and medium-sized public utilities projects, and residential quarters developed in pieces. This is a statutory management system enforced by the state. However, project management is different. It is a project management method advocated by the state, not a statutory management system. Whether to entrust others with project management and how to implement project management are independent market behaviors of project owners or construction units, and there are no restrictions in laws and regulations. Secondly, the implementation subjects of project supervision and project management are different. China's engineering supervision system stipulates that engineering supervision can only be carried out by supervision or consulting enterprises with engineering supervision qualifications, and the management carried out by units without engineering supervision qualifications does not belong to the project. Engineering supervision is the agreed management service provided by the supervision unit entrusted by the project owner or builder, and its essence belongs to the category of construction project management. Engineering project management is divided into construction project management, design project management, daily management of construction project and daily management of supply project according to its management subject. In the process of project implementation, all parties involved in project construction, design, construction and supply will one day carry out related management activities around specific Japanese standards. It can be seen that project management is a management activity that any implementation unit related to project construction should and must carry out. Not only does the construction unit need to implement project management, but project management is not the exclusive business field of project supervision or engineering consulting unit.
