- Description
- Because of the increasing complexities of construction projects, relational contracting (RC) has received much concern. RC is based on recognition of mutual benefits and win-win scenarios through more cooperative relationships between contracting parties. There has been a range of RC initiatives across many countries towards deeper collaborative relationships, such as the Australian Alliance Contracting and New Engineering Contract in the UK and Hong Kong. In China, there is no such a formal RC approach in place yet. This paper hence aims to investigate the feasibility of implementing RC in the China’s public construction projects. The results indicate that it is highly feasible to implement RC in China due to the theoretical benefits of RC, Chinese culture in line with RC principles, and the existence of RC behaviours in past public construction projects. Three strategies that help to facilitate the implementation of RC in China have been provided as well.
