The general contractor business in South Korea settled in the railway construction during the Daehan Empire, but depending on the construction intention and circumstances of the railroad, relationship among employer-contractor-subcontractor and their roles under the system of the construction process had changed. At the time of laying the Gyeongin and Gyeongbu-rail, the Empire, which had no capital and technology, passed all the power and responsibility of the rail laying to the contractor, who was involved in most of the process. After this, the empire tried to lay Gyeongui-railroad without the help of other countries. Japan prepared for the Russo-Japanese War and decided to construct the railway rapidly, and completed the railway in parallel with direct management work and contract work. From that time on, the general contractor would only do the work. During the construction of railroad in Daehan empire, the general contract business system was established. The ambiguous process was sorted out and divided. At this time, subjects in charge of design and construction has been divided. The internal organization of the project owner and the contractor were organaized and specialized.

The purpose of this study is to examine the construction industry of Korea from the 1920s to the 1930s by analyzing activities of construction-contractors trying to overcome the recession of the construction industry and intensified competition in the industry. In this paper, I looked at the activities of Hanazono Sakichi as concrete examples. First of all, with the strategy of the vertical integration, by manufacturing and selling building materials, Hanazono Sakichi expanded his company and the scope of contract business. The second, he attempted to diversify related projects. Through related diversification, he seemed to have earned not only land management profit but also advantages from related construction. These aspects were not only seen by Hanazono's activities but also by other contractors'. On the other hand, a few contractors have taken over a trust company to secure the funds for land management. Attempts to maximize personal interests through the expansion and diversification of contractors' business can be seen as overcoming the pre-1920s environment, where almost construct works were ordered under the government, and creating opportunities for the private sector to work and make profit by themselves. In the end, it can be mentioned that 'the contractor' established 'the construction industry' through this process.

This study deals with construction contract bid-rigging by Japanese contractors who monopolized the construction market of the Korean Peninsula during the Japanese colonial rule, and investigates the abuses of the contract bid-rigging. First of all, construction contract bid-rigging in Korea was triggered by Japanese construction contractors and contract brokers, who had savored the benefits of bidrigging in Japan and had repeated the bid-rigging in Korea since 1903. Second, the agency played a significant role to mediate construction contractors, and existed throughout the Japanese colonial rule on the Korean Peninsula with changing their names. Most of them were engaged in major contract bid-rigging scandals. Among them was Construction Association of Korea, which existed for over 13 years. The agencies had took part in governmental services since the mid-1930s when Japan exploited Korean people during wartime, and focused on sweating human resources for the constructions. Third, one of the biggest construction bid-rigging scandals during the Japanese colonial rule was "the 1st and 2nd scandal on Daegu construction contract bid-rigging." Indeed, the second scandal paved the way for the serial scandals: "Kyeongseong construction contract bid-rigging scandal", "Busan construction contract bid-rigging scandal", and other cases throughout the nation. Fourth, along with the contract bid-rigging cases related to the Japanese Government-General of Korea and local authorities, bid-riggings firmly took rooted in local governments' farmland reclamation projects in the 1920s and the poor relief services in the 1930s. The "bid-rigging charges" forced contractors to compensate their losses with exploiting material costs and labor costs, generating serious problems. The construction contract bid-rigging enabled Japan to monopolize the construction industry and to sweat farmers on the Korean Peninsula. Against this backdrop, contract bid-rigging by Japanese construction contractors during the its colonization made Korean contractors ruled out, and helped Japanese monopolize the industry. A large amount of bid-rigging charges drove Japanese contractors to do fraudulent work with cheap materials and to exploit Korean labor force.

기업의 시공능력을 평가하기 위한 노력은 지난 1958년 공사청부제한제도로 시작되어 1961년 공사도급제한제도를 거쳐 1996년 시공능력 평가 및 공시로 변경된 채 현재에 이르고 있다. 시공능력 평가 및 공시 제도는 그동안 많은 문제점 및 그에 따른 제도개선에도 불구하고 건설업체의 공사수행 역량을 평가하기 위한 확고하고 유일한 수단으로 활용되어 있다. 그러나 그동안 수행되었던 시공능력 평가 및 공시 제도의 개선을 위한 다수의 연구에도 불구하고 본 제도를 실증적 관점에서 분석하고자 하는 노력은 부족했다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지난 2007년부터 2016년까지의 10년간의 시공능력 평가 결과, 건설공사실적, 건설업 경영관리 지표, 거시경제 지표에 대한 상관관계분석을 통해 시공능력 평가 및 공시 제도의 현황을 분석하고 그에 따른 시사점을 도출하였다. 분석결과, 시공능력 평가액은 토목과 조경 분야에서 건설공사실적에 비해 지나치게 부풀려져 있으며, 토목, 산업설비, 조경 분야에서 시공능력 평가액과 건설공사실적 간에 상관관계가 높지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 토목과 조경 분야의 기술능력평가액이 지나치게 부풀려져 있으며, 토건과 산업설비 그리고 규모가 큰 기업은 시공능력 평가액과 세부 평가액들 간의 상관관계가 높았으나, 토목, 건축과 조경 분야와 규모가 작은 기업은 그 상관관계가 높지 않았다. 마지막으로 시공능력 평가액의 집중이 점점 심화되고 있으며, 시공능력 평가액 집중도와 건설업 경영관리 지표와 및 거시지표와의 상관관계 분석 결과, 시공능력 평가액의 집중은 건설업 경영관리 지표와 거시지표를 악화시키고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 시공능력 평가 및 공시 제도에 대한 시사점을 바탕으로 대안을 수립하여 본 제도에 대한 개선을 수행한다면, 건설업체의 공사수행 역량을 평가하기 위한 확고하고 유일한 수단으로서의 지위를 향후에도 지속적으로 유지할 수 있을 것이다.
