Occasionally an owner of public construction work pays financial costs in addition to progress payments. However, the overall scale of financial costs are not known. This research examines, based on a case study, the financial cost incurred in public construction works and the following issues: the overall scale of financial costs, the impact on financial costs on the owner, and the impact of timing on the overall sum of the financial costs. Annually, more than 2.3 trillion KRW are paid as progress payments for public construction work; yet, there is no research data showing the scale of financial costs thus incurred. The purpose of this research is to illustrate the scale of financial costs incurred due to progress payments for public construction works, and to suggest alternatives that would improve relevant regulations.

In multiple apartment construction project, BCWS is a critical management factor and has a great influence on the success of the project. Due to the many apartment buildings & facilities which produce numerous activities, there are several problems in making out a time schedule of work as well as production and management of precise BCWS from the allocation of resources. In this study, actual condition survey was executed in terms of the calculation and the management of BCWS. This study propose better solutions for efficient calculation of BCWS through the analysis of the problems and standard schedule & progress curves.

In apartment project, BCWS is a critical management factor and has a great influence on the success of the project. But due to the characteristics of large apartment complex, there are several problems in making out a time schedule of work as well as production and management of precise bcws from the allocation of resources. In this study, Actual condition survey was executed in terms of the calculation and the management of BCWS. This study propose better solutions for efficient calculation of bcsw through the analysis of the problems and the origins relating to BCWS from a field area.

The purpose of this study was to analyze on changes of ready constructed record(RCR) in landscape construction industry for 10 years from 1997 to 2006. For the study, according to the classification system of Korea construction industry, landscape construction industry were classified into landscape constructor as a general constructor, landscape planting constructor and landscape facilities constructor as special constructors. The results are as follows: 1. The RCR in landscape construction industry have increased for 10 years higher than other construction industry. Concretely the RCR ratio of landscape constructor has increased 0.9% in 1997 to 1.9% in 2006, the RCR ratio of landscape planting constructor 1.3% to 2.5%, and the RCR ratio of landscape facilities constructor 0.5% to 1.5%. Futhermore this increasing trend has been strengthened during the last a few years. 2. Differently from landscape constructor, the subcontract ratio of landscape planting constructor and landscape facilities constructor were higher, especially landscape facilities constructor was highest amount for 71.1% in the subcontract ratio. 3. The RCR of landscape construction industry in the metropolitan area including Seoul, Kyunggi, was higher than other region's, and the ratio of RCR of landscape constructor in this area was 53.5%, landscape planting constructor's 58.2%, and landscape facilities constructor 75.0%. 4. The yearly RCR per company and the RCR by project of landscape constructor and landscape planting constructor were stagnant. However, landscape facilities constructor's RCR showed an upward trend as years go by. This study was focused on the RCR of landscape construction industry, further study on the factors to affect the RCR of landscape construction industry and the RCR by project types is required in the near future.

Recently construction companies' capital condition has been aggravated due to low profit, fierce competition and market contraction. For this reason, the companies rely on public construction projects that protect construction fee by regulations. Despite these regulations, problems regarding progress payment are constantly happening. Also, insufficient analysis on interaction between contractors makes policy making difficult. Thus, in this study, interaction between contractors are quantitatively determined according to delay of application and payment based on current public construction regulations on construction stage. A system dynamics model is used, which analyzes the problems based on an interaction between contractors, and solutions for progress payment application and payment delay are suggested according to the research results.

In domestic public works, there are several problems in the measurement of payments based on the bill of quantity, which doesn't match with the activity progress rate, heavy paper works and complicated procedures. It can be classified formal and simplified method. By using the simplified method, it can be solved many problems by summarizing the procedure, but is not generally used. This paper proposes a payment method by progress measurement for specified activity based on WBS(Work Breakdown Structure) verifying efficiency which reduced cost account and advanced work on payment compare to method of domestic public works using the data about construction of eco-river. This method will be an important contribution on being a base for cost-schedule integrated management which were verified and also improving efficiency on measuring payment.

In construction work, it can be difficult to know the exact number of full-time workers, so the accident rate is calculated using the approximate number of full-time workers. In addition, as the accident rate calculation is performed based on the assumption that the number of accidents is proportional to the approximate number of workers, the reliability of the calculation result may be questionable. This study proposed a new indicator for accident level based on the progress payment and the number of injuries. The accident-progress ratio, which can be calculated by simply dividing the number of injuries by progress payment, can replace the existing accident rate index or be used as an auxiliary indicator of the accident level. The correlation coefficient between the number of injuries and the progress payment was higher than that between the number of injuries and the number of construction workers. In addition, over the past 10 years, the accident rate has been increasing, whereas the accident-progress ratio has showed a decreasing tendency. This might leave room for different interpretations of the annual variation in the accident level in the construction industry.

건설현자의 경우 고령근로자가 많고, 현장 구성원의 이동이 잦기 때문에 사고가 많이 발생할 수밖에 없습니다. 하지만 근로자들이 보호구를 착용하고, 현장에서도 안전시설을 확실히 설치해둔다면 그 피해는 크게 줄일 수 있다고 확신합니다. 사고는 한순간의 방심과 과오를 통해 발생합니다. 현장 관계자 모두가 이 사실을 명심하고 항상 기본을 지키는 습관을 가지시기 바랍니다. 또 현장에서는 질 좋은 보호구와 안전시설을 통해 근로자들의 근원적인 안전을 확보해주시기 바랍니다. 우리(주)기성의 30여명 임직원들도 우리나라 산업현장의 특성에 맞는 제품들을 꾸준히 연구 개발해나가면서, 산업 안전을 지키려는 많은 분들의 발걸음에 동참해나가도록 하겠습니다.
