  • Abstract
    Design phase is very critical in controlling investment of construction projects. The method of cost control mainly focuses on selecting and optimizing the design plan, implementing quota design and improving design budgetary estimate and construction drawing budget checkup in the design phase. This paper applies value engineering principle to selecting and optimizing design plan with a real case, which indicates that this method is practical and valuable for effectively control engineering cost in design phase.
