[0074] P t is the current period material price;

[0075] P t-1 is the material price in the previous period;

[0076] α is Influence coefficient.

[0077] Specifically, according to the rate of change of the material price index Cost of original materials M ori Optimize and adjust the value of α to control the increase or decrease of material costs according to changes in the market environment, so as to maintain the accuracy of cost control when facing fluctuations in material costs, and ultimately improve the accuracy of the total project cost.

For example, for production links with low labor efficiency, they can increase manpower or introduce more efficient equipment, while for links with high labor efficiency, they can maintain the status quo or transfer part of the manpower to other production links, thereby optimizing resource allocation, reducing production costs, and improving overall production efficiency.

[0089] Furthermore, the total project cost calculation formula is as follows:

By introducing the cost adjustment coefficient γ, it can balance the impact of changes in the market environment on the project cost and avoid adverse effects on the project due to excessive fluctuations. It is convenient for managers to control costs and realize dynamic adjustment of the total cost.

[0102] Set the total project cost C final The budget cost Z is:

The cost report is continuously updated during the construction of the project to track the deviation between actual cost and budget.

[0115] Specifically, the total budget table is a table that summarizes and summarizes the cost budget of the entire project. It includes the sum of all costs, including the cost of new materials M. adj , New labor cost L adj and other expenses Q. By compiling them in the form of a table, it is convenient for managers to understand the overall cost profile of the entire project. The divisional budget table divides the entire project into several parts or areas according to function and space, and lists specific budget details and amounts for each part or area. For example, it can be divided according to building structure, mechanical and electrical equipment, decoration and renovation, etc. Each divisional budget table lists the various expenses of that part in detail. The divisional budget table helps to gain an in-depth understanding of the cost structure of each part of the project and achieve targeted cost control and management. Through the divisional budget table, the responsibilities and tasks of each department or team can be clearly divided to reduce cost errors and risks.

The single project budget table includes unit engineering quantity cost and total cost information. The single project budget table provides a detailed cost budget for specific construction units in the project to ensure the accuracy and accuracy of the project cost.
