<p>With the development of economic globalization, the scale of international trade continues to expand. Ports are very important for cross regional transactions. However, the construction cost is also very high in the actual construction process because port engineering is a relatively large project. Cost management can effectively control the cost and improve the economic benefits of port engineering project construction. The traditional cost management model has been unable to meet the needs because the construction cost control is a dynamic process and runs through the whole process of the project. BIM information technology is a technology with engineering digital model as the core. Based on BIM, this article studies the refined cost management of port engineering project, and aims to provide some help for relevant practitioners.</p>

Construction activities in Nigeria are dominated by foreigners’ managed construction enterprises. These companies constitute less than 5 percent of the number of construction enterprises in Nigeria; however, they are involved in over 95 percent of high net-worth construction activities. Nigeria Indigenous Construction Enterprises (NICE) are faced with numerous challenges that have limited their performances. This makes construction clients to patronize foreigners’ managed construction firms because of the flaws in the performances of NICE. There have been measures on how to make NICE relevant, but most attempts have achieved little or no success. This study was aimed at examining the challenges of NICE in the face of the present scenario and to proffer ways of possible improvement. Primary data were collected by administering a structured questionnaire to both clients and contractors who are involved in the day-to-day construction activities. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, mean score and Kruskal-Wallis test. The study identified 25 challenges of NICE and 18 ways of improving NICE performance through careful literature reviews. The analysis of the total ranking among stakeholders revealed that limited technical expertise, insufficient profit on projects and delay in the payment of contractors for work done were the highest-ranked challenges. Application of project management techniques in construction activities, quality control of materials and improving production capabilities were the most important means of improving NICE performance as identified. The findings of this study will help to improve the competitiveness of indigenous contractors if well implemented as it will help to reduce the cost of construction as the competition nest for performing contractors will be widened.

The article considers the peculiarities of the distribution of total production costs, taking into account the specifics of the construction enterprises of Ukraine. It is established that the accounting processes are regulated by UAS 16 "Costs" and UAS 18 "Construction contracts", but in practice the implementation of  the distribution of overhead costs becomes a formal procedure due to insufficient definition and presentation in the current regulatory framework of the classification of costs. It is noted that in construction there are three types of cost of construction and installation work: estimated, which includes regulatory costs due to estimated norms and current prices; planned, which includes the cost of construction and installation work and is determined on the basis of technical and economic calculations using economically justified norms and standards of costs for construction and installation work under normal capacity of the construction company and the actual, including the actual costs of the construction company, incurred during construction and installation work.  This feature leads to the possibility of significant differences in the actual and estimated cost of construction. The schematic connection of the classification of costs by economic elements and costing items in calculating the cost of construction and installation work is given. It is determined that the improvement of accounting for total production costs should be an element of strategic management in the construction company as there is a tendency to increase in recent years. Carrying out the correct distribution of  total production costs requires further development of regulatory and methodological framework, firstly, by improving the classification of indirect costs with the development of criteria for determining their fixed and variable part, and secondly, developing criteria for selecting the optimal distribution base of construction enterprises. It is considered promising to use information technology for more accurate calculations and improve the working conditions of analysts in the distribution of  total production costs.

Purpose Construction process is complex and traditionally fragmented; thus, it is almost impossible to have a project completed without changes to the original plan or the construction process. The purpose of this study is to identify and examine the causes of variation orders, ascertain their effects and establish the cost and time performance implication as a result of variation orders. Design/methodology/approach This study obtained information from 90 construction stakeholders on 30 completed educational building projects to ascertain the causes and effects of variation orders on project delivery using questionnaire survey. In addition to this, a pro forma document was designed to obtain the project characteristics, cost and time data from these 30 completed educational building projects. Factor analysis was used to categorise the causes of variation orders, while severity index was used to examine their effects on project delivery. The hypothesised statement was tested using paired t-statistics to examine whether a statistically significant difference existed between variation orders, cost and time performance of the projects. Findings The study identified 13 main factors as causes of variation orders and the results revealed that the most frequent effects of variations were increase in construction costs, time, client dissatisfaction, increase construction project rework and demolition and project abandonment. The results also showed that variation orders had significant effects on both cost and scheduled performance of the educational building projects with average cost and time escalation of 33.95 and 29.45 per cent of the original project cost and time, respectively, for the entire projects studied, while average cost implication of variation orders is 23.79 per cent. Practical implications The findings in this study will be of assistance to government agencies and management of public works in higher institutions of learning in managing variations in construction projects. The study will also add to the current literature on the impact of variation orders on educational building projects in developing countries. Finally, it will create the much-needed awareness on the severity and implication of change or variation orders on project delivery. Originality/value The study identified and examined the causes of variation orders, ascertained their effects and established the cost and time effects of the causes of variation order on project performance. This will assist project initiators, contractors, consultants and other stakeholders to fully appreciate and understand the significant effects of variation orders on project performance.
