From the current grasp of domestic and international information, the social and economic status of cost engineer qualification is with the degree of development of the market economy and the proportional increase. China's current cost engineers are in short supply, many companies engaged in the construction engineering field of intermediary services, competing for "registered cost engineers" with high salaries, high benefits to compete for this senior talent those who have many years of experience and large-scale commercial projects operating experience in the cost engineers, supervising engineers and project managers are the most hopeful enterprises to find the talent. The cost engineers, supervision engineers and project managers are the talents that enterprises would like to find the most. The price of cost engineers has been rising, many companies offer cost engineers annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan. In all real estate, construction industry people at the same time, the state also has express provisions, a cost engineer can only accept a unit of employment, can only be in a unit for the unit or commissioned to provide engineering cost professional services. This has become an important factor in the extreme shortage of cost engineers. Therefore, from now and in the future for some time, the demand for cost engineers, registered cost engineers is the most sought-after "meat and potatoes", cost engineers are also known as the construction industry "elite talent".

Consulting Engineer's Prospect Analysis:

1, at present, consulting engineers are still useful, at least engineering consulting unit qualification declaration is needed to support enough consulting engineers.

2, the certificate of the competent authority is the National Development and Reform Commission, as long as the National Development and Reform Commission exists one day this certificate has been useful, if one day the NDRC was dismantled, the relevant functions of the government departments will still be retained, consulting engineers as a decision-making link in the early stages of the engineering project, from the experience of the developed countries, along with the degree of civilization and the degree of development of the society will be more and more attention.
