Cost management, often called Quantity Surveying, is the act of planning and regulating the budget of a project.  At its most basic function, the purpose of cost management is to ensure that a project stays on track in terms of the actual spending against the project budget.

Cost management has an impact on all phases of a project, including planning and design, estimating, materials and contractors, change orders and the completed structure.  Effective management of cost also helps the various stakeholders in being proactive, efficient, and precise when estimating and executing a proposed budget.

Essentially, in order to ensure effective cost management, it is important to put the right processes in place to help deliver a construction project that is completed on time and under budget.
