Difference from cost clerk

On September 16, 2005, the General Office of the Ministry of Construction of the People's Republic of China named the budgetary personnel qualification as the national construction project coster qualification with Jianban Tiaohan [2005] No. 558. Therefore, the budgeter also became a coster. Notice of the Ministry of Construction of the People's Republic of China on September 16, 2005 on the Unified Reissue of Qualification Certificates for Budget Budget Personnel: In order to further rationalize and standardize the structure of the professional team of engineering cost professionals, the Ministry of Construction The estimate of the qualification of the budgetary staff in the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Construction Project Budgetary Staff Industry Self-Regulatory Work" is named "National Qualification for Construction Costers".

China Price Association intends to complete the renewal of the "Certificate of Qualification for Chinese Construction Project Costers", and specific matters related to the renewal will be undertaken by the China Construction Engineering Cost Management Association.

The former was called a budgeter, and then a coster. The coster refers to those who pass a unified qualification examination. Those who pass the examination are issued the "National Construction Engineering Coster Qualification Certificate" (hereinafter referred to as "Cost Certificate"). The certification of the cost skills and business level of the cost personnel engaged in engineering cost work is valid nationwide.

Budgeters and costers are considered the same most of the time, but they are not:

1. Different concepts: There is a huge difference between budget and cost. Budget is just a small subject within the scope of cost;

2. The scope of work is different: The budgetist emphasizes mainly on the budget rather than other work related to the cost of the project, and the cost is more extensive (can engage in bidding, bidding, auditing, etc.).

3. The filing mechanism is different: as long as the budgeter received a certificate and a badge, he basically does not care how you practise, but today the coster has to register and be managed and continued education and training by the local cost management department.

4. The scope of use is different: Generally speaking, budgetaries can only practice in the province, and cost personnel are applicable nationwide.

What is the difference between a cost engineer and a cost engineer:

The difference between a cost engineer and a cost technician is inappropriately analogous, just like the difference between an engineer and a technician

Whether the project can be undertaken across regions is a qualification of the consulting unit, and has nothing to do with the cost clerk (division). It can contract the cost business, and the cost consulting unit can contract business across regions.

When bidding, it is necessary to affix the cost division's seal, which is commonly used by registered cost divisions across the country; if it is necessary to affix the cost personnel's seal (the cost division is not specified), it is not said that the local cost member's seal is valid, and that of other provinces and cities cannot.

Under what circumstances is it cost effective to stamp a cost engineer or stamp? Various localities have stipulated that the bidding documents for special projects stipulate that the coster's stamp must also be stamped with the coster's stamp.

Similarities between the two:

1. Universal in China; (To transfer to other cities, you need to register with the local cost association)

2. Professional qualifications for pre-settlement audits

difference:

1. Different levels, higher divisions than staff;

2. Different authority The coster can only compile and cannot audit, that is to say, there is no right to audit, and the cost engineer can;

3. The level of the representatives is different, and the cost division is equivalent to the intermediate level. Cost clerk is just junior

The biggest difference is not the same as earning wages ...

The fundamental difference between a cost engineer and a cost engineer is that the cost engineer belongs to the state-approved professional qualifications, is an administrative license implemented by the state administrative agency, and is a market access professional. The cost engineer has the right to sign the corresponding cost documents and bears the law in accordance with the law. Responsibilities; the cost engineer is a post setting, the cost engineer certificate belongs to the professional level certificate, does not have the nature of administrative permission, and does not have professional qualifications for market access. The duty of the cost engineer is to assist the cost engineer to complete the cost work. The cost engineer does not have The right to issue independent cost documents.
