Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 土木工程與防災科技研究所 === 101 === In recent years, it has become a trend that the construction supervision is outsourced to the consulting/engineering companies among public construction projects. This is mainly caused by the downsizing of the government organization and lack of experienced engineers. As a result, there are more and more contract disputes for professional construction supervision services. In view of this, this research intends to investigate the current practice of construction supervision services and dispute resolution measures through literature review, case study and expert interviews. Especially, the “gray area” in the contracts, drawings and specifications are examined for Kaohsiung Railway Underground projects. In addition, construction dispute cases are studied and dispute resolution measures are analyzed. The research results conclude that the construction supervision services provided by the consultants/engineers should include both quality inspection and clarification of the contracts. The consultants/engineers should clarify the responsibility parties when disputes occurred and seek resolutions among the owners, designers and contractors. Through case study, contract dispute resolution measures are analyzed and summarized for future reference. It is found that the construction supervision plays an important role in coordination and communication between the owners, designers and contractors in contract disputes. The findings in the research provide valuable reference for the construction supervision providers when encountering contract disputes.
