Abstract:The complex natural conditions,high utilization rate,and frequent design changes of the wharf renovation project pose challenges to its engineering pricing work.The current relevant specification has problems in cost audit,including incomplete feature descriptions,insufficient types of sub-items,inconsistency between quota consumption and actual situation,and inconsistent rules for calculating quantities.Taking the phase I container terminal renovation project in Luojing port area of Shanghai Port as the research object,by using the case analysis method,the key issues in the project settlement audit are sorted out,and solutions such as splitting list items,adding special sub-items,adjusting quota consumption,and standardizing quantity calculation rules of the project quantity are proposed.A four-level cost indicator system for wharf renovation projects is constructed.The second-level and third-level indicators decompose construction costs to realize the classification and refinement of cost indicators.The fourth-level indicators such as engineering quantity indicators and comprehensive unit prices provide accurate quantitative basis for the content of wharf renovation project.The research conclusions provide a practical paradigm for the cost audit of wharf renovation projects,and the accumulated cost data provide key support for the dynamic update of the pricing standards for port and waterway engineering.
