Abstract

In recent, many Korean contractors have tried to extend their business area into the overseas construction market, mainly as a result of a reduction in their domestic construction market. However in terms of risk, overseas construction projects are likely to face a number of unpredictable problems, many of which occur as a result of differences in contract cultures and construction environments between Korea and other countries. One key issue facing overseas construction projects in particular, is that of sub-contracting and control, and the way in which many countries of Commonwealth of Nations operate a unique subcontracting method well known as a nominated sub-contractor(NSC). This paper introduces the NSC system and differences as comparing among standard construction contract forms, such as JCT, SIA, HKIA and PAM. in UK and Asian Commonwealth of Nations. Also, we attempt to classify the type of the NSC system through the consideration of NSC clauses in accordance with the objection and termination of NSC contracting respectively.

최근 국내 건설시장의 축소와 수주경쟁의 심화로 인하여 많은 건설기업들이 이에 대한 대안으로써 해외건설 시장에 진출하고 있다. 그러나 해외건설 프로젝트에서는 국내 건설 프로젝트와 책임과 권한의 범위가 다른 다양한 프로젝트 주체가 참여하고 있으며, 프로젝트를 둘러싼 수행환경 및 계약관행이 국내 건설 프로젝트와 다르기 때문에 다양한 리스크 요인이 존재하고 있다. 특히 해외건설 프로젝트의 문제가운데 하나가 Nominated Sub-Contracting (NSC)로 알려진 영국과 영국연방국가에서 사용되어지고 있는 하도급계약이다. 본 논문은 영국과 아시아지역 영연방 국가의 JCT약관, SIA약관, HKIA약관, PAM약관의 비교를 통해 NSC제도와 차이점을 소개한다. 또한 NSC계약의 채용 거부와 계약 해지와 관련된 약관항목분석을 통해 NSC제도의 유형을 분류한다.
