Abstract
The Bureau of Construction and Planning has constructed many government constructions. Its chief construction projects are road, sewerages and buildings construction. It was responsible for construction supervising and contract management in the earlier stage. Its jobs have changed a lot recently. In the present, it has to replace the owner to take owner’s job in the project. It plays the role in both project manager and owner. The contractors are better and better at asking for their benefits, so our bureau should make more progress in construction affairs so as to avoid arguing with contractors about project duration or other affairs, instead of still playing the role in supervisor or owner. Arguing between the bureau and the contractor often causes the project delay. It not only influences the benefits of the government and the contractors, but also influences the public welfare.his thesis is focused on the case of disputing about project duration that has ever happened in the project of our bureau. After exploring the reason for disputing about project duration, reviewing some literature and researching many reports, and from some dispute cases I have ever met, I have drawn the conclusion of thirty causes that easy to dispute between the bureau and the contractors. These causes are acquired by sending out questionnaires and analyzing. In questionnaire, I divided influence condition into five levels, such as very reasonable, very unreasonable, and so on. I investigated influence condition to the project duration for every cause in questionnaire filled by the interviewee. Then, I did the some basic statistic calculation for the samples to make reasonable analysis for every disputing cause. After that, for the clauses that the reasonable level is lower or result has large different, I analyzed the data variance between the owner and the contractors so as to know the reasons and reduce the difference and dispute. or the clauses easy to dispute for project duration in our bureau, I hope my study is able to give some advice to the government, when carrying out the contract or revising the contract. The government should take good care of these clauses in preliminary or detail design stage, or construction stage so as to avoid wasting time and energy to dispute with contractors. I also hope the government can settle these dispute reasonably and legally.
