Domestic construction industry accounts about 15% of Gross Domestic Product(GDP) and Korean government spends approximately 50 trillion won per year for public infrastructure projects. Effective management of public construction projects would result in cost saving and enhance financial stability of the government. In doing so, the government promoted a new budgeting system, Continual Budget Method(CBM) as a part of public project performance enhancement program published in 1999. This research mainly attempted to investigate and analyze the impact of new budgeting in term of cost and schedule performance. Based on the analysis result of n2 projects. The new budgeting system could save project cost by 9.83y. Due to the saving of indirect costs from reduction. Although limited government budget cannot allow all the projects to be excuted with the new budgeting system, the new budgeting system should be more-widely utilized in the public sector because of its proven benefits from this research.

Many contractors have overlooked the construction contract general conditions and it was a bad construction practice. Today, construction project is very complex and complicated. This requires a networked contract document and results in a complicated contract conflict hardly to be solved. Therefore, to reduce the construction dispute and to enhance construction practice, clarification of definition of Owner, several conditions to be revised, insertion of design supervision were suggested in this paper.

This study analyzes necessity of expanding construction insurance and estimates required budget. Construction insurance is obliged by National Contract Law and Local Contract Law to protect projet owners and contractors from any unexpected construction risk such as financial losses in construction process. Currently the contracts of design-build and alternate-bid projects as well as PQ project, which are greater than 20 billion won, require the contractors to provide construction insurances in Korea. Insurance premiums are borne by the public project owner. Those contractors whose contract volume is less than 20 billion won burden all risks of projects at their cost. This causes equity problem. Because small-and-medium contractors are discriminated against large contractors since insurance-obliged projects are performed by large contractors and insurance premiums are borne by the public project owner. On the other hands, in all engineering projects, regardless of volume, insurance premiums are borne by the project owner. Therefore current regulation has to be improved, by expanding to all public projects. The average ratio of unobliged projects is 46%, in recent 3 years, prime cost of insurance companies is estimated 0.2%. Moreover considering risks of each construction type, prime cost of unobliged works is estimated as 0.13%. Hence additional necessary budget is estimated to be 2.09 billion won if total volume of public work is 3.5 trillion won. And 2.39 billion won is derived if total volume of public projects is 4 trillion won.

The Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development has implemented the Construction Cost Saving Policy since 1998. The National Universities and Regional Education Committee have been required to follow the details of the Policy in constructing educational facilities in their jurisdiction. While the Policy has positive effect on construction cost saving of the entities, it has been criticized from the beginning of the Policy implementation because of its negative impact on project quality, education quality, trust in the public sector construction business, and solvent operation of the private construction companies which build the educational facilities in the entities. The research aims at investigating the pitfalls of the Policy and suggesting more reasonable approaches that can satisfy both the governmental entities and the private companies.

Cost information in the Korean construction industry is mainly controlled by the government agencies. However, there have been wild-spread speculations among participants on the adequacy of these unit prices and difference with the actual market condition. Korean public-led unit prices are developed using mainly a top-down approach by a few designated public institutions. Due to the rapid fluctuations in market prices and high-volume of information, it is impossible for a few public institutions to properly consider market conditions. However, there are almost none private cost reference while many are available in other countries to supplement the public cost references. Needs for private cost references have recognized, and this study can be seen as a pilot study to support them. This study attempts to identify the problem areas of Korean cost references and to provide guidance by benchmarking other countries. This study has confirmed the need of developing market-driven cost references by employing a bottom-up approach in which a large number of various construction participants are fostered to provide their own cost information and share with others. It is envisioned that this study provides foundations for further study on the development on-line construction market platform based on abundant and appropriate cost information.

국가 발주 공사는 3월 1일, 지방자치단체 발주 공사는 3월 9일 예정가격을 작성하는 사업부터 표준시장단가 제도가 적용된다. 대한설비건설협회(회장 이상일)를 비롯한 건설관련 유관단체에서는 실적공사비의 불합리한 공사비 산정 기준 및 운영관행에 대해 폐지 건의를 지속적으로 해왔다. 정부는 이같은 건의를 받아들여 지난해 12월 17일 실적공사비 제도개선을 위한 공청회를 개최하고 개선안을 발표했으며, 이번 계약예규 개정을 통해 개선됐다. 이에 따라 실적공사비 제도를 대체하는 새로운 공공공사비 산정 방식인 표준시장단가 제도가 지난 3월 1일부터 시행에 들어감에 따라 기획재정부는 국가계약예규를, 행정자치부는 지방계약예규를 개정해 각각 지난 3월 1일과 3월 5일 공포하고 시행에 들어갔다. 각 개정 계약예규는 실적공사비의 명칭이 표준시장단가로 변경됨에 따라 용어를 수정했고, 실적공사비 제도 적용배제 범위를 신설했다. 또한 적용배제 공사범위는 300억원 미만 공사 중 100억원 미만 공사는 실적공사비(표준시장단가) 적용을 폐지하고, 100억원 이상부터 300억원 미만 공사는 2016년 12월 31일까지 한시적으로 적용하지 않는다. 정부는 100억원~300억원 공사에 대한 '실적공사비 적용 배제제도' 연장 여부를 2016년 하반기에 실적공사비 현실화 수준 등을 평가하여 재검토할 예정이다. 한편, 표준시장단가 제도는 공사비를 산정할 때 현행 계약단가 외에도 시공단가와 입찰단가 등 다양한 시장 거래가격을 반영하는 제도로, 지난 1월 22일 국가정책조정회의를 거쳐 확정된 '공공건설 공사비 적정성 제고방안' 후속조치의 일환으로 공공공사비 예정가격 산출방식의 하나인 실적공사비제도를 개선한 것이다.

This study aims to propose a set of improvement devices for construction dispute resolution clause of public improvement project in Korea. To do so, the study addresses the system and procedure of construction dispute resolution in domestic and overseas, and reviews precedent cases, specifically focused of a selective arbitration case. In public sector's initiated contracts, the absence of c)aim procedure clause is unable to response to the claims in timely manner, and the ambiguity of clause o( selective arbitration make it difficult to resolve a dispute by arbitration. Thus, in this study alternative dispute resolutions are explored as a way to resolve various construction disputes of public-initiated project in developed countries.

The construction supervisors of the public companies are usually responsible for process management, quality management, safety management, and many other various tasks that occur during construction project. Public companies such as Korea Highway Corporation have developed a framework and manual for management and supervision of construction projects. But, there has been the change of business environment such as increase of private investment project and the introduce of construction management system recently. It has been necessary for construction supervisor to streamline the current project management system in the owner's aspect in order to cope with the expected new challenges. Accordingly, this research has been investigated and analyzed the operation system between Korean supervisor and foreign supervisor in their public corporation. This research has suggested the advanced project management in their public corporation. Especially, this study has proposed the construction management manual for supervisors such as inspectors training, supervisors construction manual, and supervisors training road map.

Public institutions recognize the importance of cost management from the planning stage but they do not have an organized construction cost estimation and management system. Thus, at the stage of planning a new public construction project and estimating the cost, those in charge of budgeting estimate construction cost based on existing data and experiences, compare construction cost estimated after the basic design stage and the execution design stage with budgets, and then decide whether to continue the project or change the design according to the budgets. Therefore, we would develop the cost prediction model through regression analysis that can predict construction cost in Schematic Design Phase of the Public Multi-Family housing. Accordingly, if public institutions have a construction cost prediction model and management system that can estimate the optimum construction cost, they can make and execute budgets in a more efficient way than they do at present.
