    Ever wondered how much you really know? It's time to put your brain to the test!

    It is the process of finding and reducing the expenses of a business in order to attain more profits. Cost control begins with the budgeting process. The firm owner or the employee concerned makes a comparison between the actual financial results of the company and the budgeted expectations. If the actual cost is higher than the expected value then the management needs to take action according to the given information. For example, the business can obtain raw materials from a vendor who will be able to sell it at a reduced price. Similarly, many companies use outsourcing as a method for cost controlling as paying a third party to do a task is rather profitable and time-saving than doing it themselves. Cost control plays an important role in maintaining and growing profitability.

    The difference between budgeted and actual expenses is called the variance. Therefore we can say that variance analysis is used as a critical tool to identify areas that could be improved and make appropriate changes. A company should perform a variance analysis every month on each revenue and expense account. The largest variances (preferably the largest percentage difference) should be addressed first as they are the ones that have the most impact on the company’s results.

    Cost control is extremely important. In a market, the low-cost producers are the people who make the most profit. Decreasing costs is the key to increasing the efficiency and profitability of any business.

    Types of Cost

    There are different types of costs. They are listed in the table given below.

    No. Name Explanation Examples
    1 Fixed costs Does not change Rent

    Insurance payments

    2 Variable coasts Will change with productivity Wage labour

    Energy usage

    3 Direct costs Are involved with operations or production Raw material cost
    4 Indirect cost Unrelated to the business’s core operations Overhead

    Quantity Surveying in Cost Control

    As we discussed above, the cost control target is to use the resources with maximum efficiency. But nowadays the costs are ever increasing. So, construction industry promoters insist on designing and executing projects for giving maximum value to the money. Therefore quantity surveyors are employed in a large amount during the design stage in order to give pieces of advice to stakeholders regarding the probable cost implications of their requirements and decisions. As time goes on, construction technology becomes more logical and complex and employers become cleverer in their Rising prices, capital constraints, and rising interest rates have prompted employers to demand that their professional advisers accept cost as an element in design and that they make sure adequately balanced costs throughout all phases of the construction project, as well as a precise estimate of overall cost. requirements. So it is important to improve and refine tools that are used for cost control. And hence the Quality surveyor should ensure the value of money. Cost limits for projects adopted by construction management techniques presently contribute to making the people in the industry aware of the value and efficiency of money. Due to this, Quantitative surveyors are put to greater use in establishing cost charges in the consideration of alternative solutions and cost control as a continuous procedure.

    The limited objective of cost control should actually be emphasized.  They identify deviations from the project plan rather than suggesting areas for possible cost savings. This indicates an advanced stage where project control becomes rather important. Major cost savings can be done only during the stages of planning and designing. Cost control cannot be enacted during the construction because the deviation from premade plans will cause a delay in the project and also leads to undue cost rise. From this, we can say that the focus of project control is on achieving the original plan or showing deviations from these plans. It’s not about searching for cost savings or any other significant improvements. Major changes to the original construction plans will only occur when a rescue operation is required.

    The construction plan and the cash flow allocated to it provide a reference line for further project monitoring and control when it comes to cost control on a project. The progress of activities can be monitored by compare g the actual progress of individual activities and the reaching of milestones should be compared to the project schedule. The contract and job specifications offer the criteria for assessing and ensuring the required construction quality. The final or detailed cost estimate serves as a baseline for evaluating financial performance throughout the project. When expenses are within the detailed cost estimate, the project is considered to be under financial control. Overruns in specific cost categories indicate the likely occurrence of problems and provide insight into the nature of the problems encountered. The categories incorporated into the final cost estimation are the focus of expense-oriented construction planning and control.

    The original comprehensive cost estimate usually gets transformed into a traditional project budget in the form of a bill of quantities for monitoring and control purposes, and this project budget, which is typically put together by a cost professional known as a quantity surveyor, is then used as a guide for management. Particular components from the detailed cost estimate are converted into job cost elements. During the duration of a project, expenditures are documented in specific job cost accounts and then compared to the original cost estimates in each category. Individual job cost accounts are thus the basic unit for cost control. As an alternative, job cost accounts can be broken down or divided into work elements that are linked to both specific scheduled activities and specific cost accounts.
