Abstract：There are different control mechanisms for different subjects and different levels in the tripartite governance structure of life cycle engineering consulting project, so it is urgent to establish effective cooperative control mechanism to improve the performance of the project. Based on the data obtained from the questionnaire survey and the fs/QCA method, a configuration model is established with the multi-level control mechanism in the life cycle engineering consulting project organization as the conditional variable and the project performance as the result condition, and four configurations effectively contributing to the project performance are obtained, which may be further summarized into four types of combined control modes. The results show that: in the combination control mode of life cycle engineering consulting project, it is indispensable to control the behavior and performance of the contractor in the performance process, and the result control is the basic element of the control strategy combination. In the consulting team, self-control and process-control are inseparable. There are substitutability among contract control, process control and self-control. In professional service transaction, trust control between the client and the consulting team and community control within the consulting team are substitutable. The research results deepen the rational understanding of the organizational control mode of life cycle engineering consulting project organization and provide a theoretical basis for the owner to accurately design the control mechanism suitable for life cycle engineering consulting project.
