Based on analyzing the characteristics of engineering design enterprises, through investigating 30 Chinese design enterprises ,the present main engineering design service modes are summarized and analyzed, furthermore the backward management philosophy, lack of the efficient information feed back mechanism ,and no enough attention to the accumulation of knowledge are uncovered as the root causes of low innovation ability, the design defects, and extensive management in Chinese design enterprises. Under the great changes taking place in modern market environment, the Chinese engineering design enterprises are required to transform for complying with market demands and the world trend, so the life cycle design service mode is put up with the development strategies for the development of the engineering enterprises.
