Abstract

This report focuses the Main Contractor and Subcontractor relationship in international construction project, particularly in the case that Japanese Contractors implement the project abroad as main contractor and manage local Subcontractors as their partners in relevant market. Although Japanese Contractors have enough track records in international projects, their performances have not achieved as what they perform in domestic project. This report attempts to reveal the obstacles of Japanese Contractor's performance in international market and suggests the improvement measures for the sake of business development of foreign main contractor, particularly Japanese, and local subcontractor. According with this opportunity, the research was conducted to the project staffs that have been employed by Japanese contractor and had work experiences in Japanese domestic projects and in international projects. From their points of views, the differences between domestic project and international project and the obstacles of their performances attempt to be unveiled. With referring to those differences and obstacles, the partnering arrangement between Japanese Contractor and local Subcontractor will be suggested as one of the improvement measures. Keywords: Main Contractor, Subcontractor, Japan, International, Partnering.
