The construction project manager must clearly carry out the activities of each construction stage specified in the 'Task Description'. In this study, 'design change' and 'completion process' were classified as core tasks in consideration of the frequency and importance of tasks. And, by analyzing the actual construction project, the task contents for the core work were standardized. This laid the foundation for the ordering office, construction project management technicians, and builders to clearly understand the business areas of construction project management and fulfill their responsibilities for their respective tasks.

In recent years, the reduction of international award and project loss by Korean contractors have become a big issue not only in industry but also in academic fields. However, many researches have not focused on small and medium subcontractors but on the large contractors, even though the number of international project by small and medium companies is more than by large companies. Therefore, this study focuses on analyzing the predicted risk before bid and the actual risk after award in international subcontracting projects. In addition, it provides the difference between project performances according to the contract types and the project profitability. This study is expected to give more informed risk knowledge to small and medium subcontractors, which enables them to pay attention to managing risk for better project performances.

The objective of this paper is to suggest the improvement of estimating system for construction management (CM) service fee through the analysis of the previous literatures and criteria and case study. In order to do this, this paper considered the relevance of existing criteria to estimate the CM service fee, the condition of input ratio of engineering resources in the real cases, and current utilization strategy of nonresident technical engineers. Based on the analysis, the following problems were identified; a) the different estimating system for CM fee and construction supervision fee, b) impractical estimating system for the CM fee, and c) inappropriate allocation of human resources for CM. Consequently, this paper suggested the following 4 items for the improvement of the existing system; (1) modification of the current structure of CM fee calculation, (2) rationalization of current level of the CM fee which is required to be raised approximately 5.4 percent compared to design or supervision fee, (3) securement of elasticity of the input ratio of engineering resources from the inception phase, and (4) development of the utilization strategy of nonresident engineers based on the technical requirement of the jobsite. Thus, it is anticipated that this research would affect the compensation package of CM in order to make the estimation process of CM service fee more efficient and to revitalize CM as business.

While growth of domestic CM market has slowed down due to economic recession, it recently shows sign of scale as some public agencies are relocating their headquarters. Since the introduction of CM system, a number of client organizations have acquired construction project management capabilities, however, sufficient efforts are not made to estimate the size of construction project management organization. This study drew a method for estimating the size of the organization managing construction project by utilizing statics analysis and project costs per member based on 10 public construction projects and tried to review applicability through case studies. With this study, we would like to make a contribution to achieving smoother work performance and success of the construction project by estimating and allocating proper scale of management workforce.

Recently, the construction companies are forced to cut down the investment amount due to increasing financial problems caused by severe recession and restructuring in the financial market as well as the long-term depression of the construction industry. To overcome this type of problems, a great many efforts have been made. An alternative may be adopting the advanced financing methods. However, during the course of enforcing process of the financing methods, many problems are revealed without any proper solutions being proposed. Therefore, the fundamental problems need to be solved through comprehensive and systematic approach under the changing environment of construction financing. In this paper, as a result of reviewing some financing methods such as ABS, REITS, and Project Financing, multiple business strategies for construction companies to cope with the changing construction market are found in the sense of effectiveness in implementing construction projects. Further, this paper presents diversified financing methods for the effective practice of construction projects through combination of above mentioned methods, and also proposes improvement plans to strengthen the financing function for the construction industry.

As the Construction Technology Promotion Act was revised in 2015, the term of Supervision was removed and Construction Management was included instead. The consideration of Construction Management shall be based on the cost plus fee method specified in the Criteria for the Cost of Construction Technology Services of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Nevertheless, it is based on the construction cost ratio in accordance with the Economy and Finance Ministry's Detailed Guidelines for Preparing the 2018 Budget Plan and Fund Management Plan (Manual for Business Type and Item). As a result, it has been expected that Construction Management consideration will be calculated according to a single government standard and that the Criteria will be applied reasonably. In addition, although the change in the Labor Standard Act has a significant effect on the working environment of the construction site, the nature of the construction site is not considered in this Act. Based on these problems, the study suggested that the government should apply a single standard after consultation with the relevant agencies when calculating the consideration for Construction management, that the scope of the Criteria for the Cost of Construction Technology Services should be clear, that the amount of input by the Construction Manager should be considered for the capability of engineers and the number of working days, and that construction characteristics should be considered when determining the number of working days and hours.
