In order to implement CM(Construction Management) actively for public projects in Korea as a project delivery method, the existing cases of CM are analyzed and barriers to implement CM are identified. As results of the study, the following barriers are identified in the aspect of the Korean construction law, owners, and CM firms respectively:
First, proper political guideline to implement CM, such as Definition, Service, Compensation, and Qualification are not provided, yet. Second, proper tendering procedures for CM, such as bid strategy, PQ(Pre-Qualification), obtaining tenders, opening and evaluation of tenders are not provided, yet. Third, ability of construction managers is not enough to receive credits from the owners, yet.
Therefore, the CM model is proposed to eliminate the barriers and to implement CM successfully. The model is composed of the provisions of the Korean construction law especially for CM and the reformation of tendering procedures for owners, reformation of tendering procedures for owners, and improvements in ability of construction managers.
As mentioned in CM model of this paper, government, owner, and CM firms should take their roles properly and then CM can be utilized positively for public projects in Korea.
