在论述我国铁路建设项目管理体制现状和不足的基础上,针对铁路建设项目管理中业主的地位和项目前期规划阶段的重要性进行了进一步分析。结果表明,明确和统一业主或其代表的身份,是铁路建设管理体制改革的症结。加强前期规划尤其是设计过程管理和控制则是进一步提高铁路建设管理水平和控制建设投资的关键。 On the basis of discussing the status quo and deficiencies of China’s railway construction project management system, the author further analyzes the status of the owners in the railway construction project management and the importance of the pre-project planning phase. The results show that clear and unified identity of the owners or their representatives is the crux of the railway construction management system reform. Strengthening the preliminary planning, especially the design process management and control, is the key to further improving the railway construction management level and controlling construction investment.
