Abstract
The direct construction control method(DCCM) is based on the direct contract between owner and specialty contractors without involvement of a general contractor. The application of the DCCM, originally, aimed to cut down the public rental apartment price, and the introduction of DCCM to public construction has gained a plenty of attention from the construction sector as it causes major change in current production and profit structure. The purpose of this study was to suggest its application strategy to public construction projects based on the various opinions about DCCM collected from the survey targeting related stakeholders. The results of survey showed that the DCCM is expected to be relatively inefficient in project performance area. Despite its strength over the cost aspect, many respondents expect that it has a negative effect on the time, quality, safety, and environment performance. However, DCCM is considered to contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of constructors and reinforcing fair trading with transparency. As the preparation stage, the DCCM is suggested to be continuously applied mainly with the small-scale projects till the technical capability is ensured along with legal amendment.
