The unique characteristics of the construction industry - such as the fragmentation of its processes, varied scope of works and diversity of its participants - are contributory factors to poor project performance. Several issues are unresolved due to the lack of a comprehensive technique to measure project outcomes including: inefficient decision making, insufficient communication, uncertain site conditions, a continuously changing environment, inharmonious working relationships, mismatched objectives within the project team and a blame culture. One approach to overcoming these problems appears to be to measure performance by gauging contractor satisfaction (Co-S) levels, but this has not been widely investigated as yet. Additionally, the key Co-S dimensions at the project level are still not fully identified. This paper concerns a study of satisfaction dimensions, primarily by a postal questionnaire survey of construction contractors registered by the Malaysian Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB). Eight satisfaction dimensions are identified that are significantly and substantially relate to these contractors - comprising: project cost performance, schedule performance, product performance, design satisfaction, site safety, project profitability, business performance and relationships between participants. -Each of these dimensions is accorded different priority levels of satisfaction by different contractors. The output of this study will be useful in raising the awareness and understanding of project teams regarding contractors' needs, mutual objectives and open communication to help to deliver a successful project.

일반적으로 국가별 PPP/BOT 사업 정책과 건설 관련 법률체계는 개별 PPP/BOT사업의 사업구도와 사업성에 직접적인 영향을 준다. 2001년 12월 중국의 WTO 가입후 2003년과 2004년도에 공포한 건설관련 법안과 최근 공포된 주요 PPP/BOT 관련 정책 등은 특히 해외 건설투자기업의 개별 사업의 가능성 (Viability)에 직접적 영향을 주는 요인으로 이러한 해외기업의 시장진입을 지배하는 법안과 정책 (Market Access Condition)들로 인해 현재 새로이 중국 시장 진입을 시도하고 국내의 안정적 사업수행 환경에 근거해 개발된 투자지침에 익숙한 국내 기업은 중국내 PPP/BOT 사업 추진시 참여업무 Scope 설정과 투자여부에 대한 의사결정시 내부 공감대 형성에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구는 우선적으로 중국내 시장진입 관련 법, 제도 및 정책이 해외 EPC 기업의 PPP/BOT 사업 수행에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 최종적으로 실제 사례분석을 통해 중국내 PPP/BOT 시장 참여를 위한 Lessons Learned를 도출하는데 주 목적이 있다.
