On December, 1996, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation published Construction Management Service in Construction Industry Basic Act. CM service has been adopted in Korean construction market for ten years by now, however there was no significant change in the construction industry from adoption of CM service. The CM service results aggregated by PCM, from 1997 to 2004, show that CM service adopted projects were 324 in total and the total contract amount was 260million US dollars. These results tell us that adoption of CM service in Korean construction industry is not successful. The research is to survey the factors and the limitations affecting on poor adoption of CM service and to propose the improving strategies on that matter. Therefore, this paper analyzes former papers, laws and regulations on CM and CM service results from PCM as well. From the analysis, we found conflicts in between the laws such as different rules on same matter or missing significant policies in their provisions. Also, problems of industrial organization was found such that the public sector seldom adopts CM service due to their embeded CM function.
