System Improvement for the Management of Subcontracted Service Performance Information in Korea's Public Construction

To date, in South Korea, construction subcontracted services have been illicitly conducted without clear grounds, but to establish a sound trading order between the principal contractors and the subcontractors, the government recently began complementing the relevant system to legalize and systematically manage subcontracted services. In line with this move, this study prepared a system designed to manage construction subcontractors’ service performance results in a bid to legalize subcontracted services. Towards this end, measures were worked out to integrate subcontracted services and contracted services based on the system for the management of contracted construction technology service performance results. The study findings can be used to formulate measures to protect subcontractors, such as the prevention of low-priced subcontracts, by managing objective, reliable subcontracted service performance results.
