碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 營建管理研究所 === 107 === The issues of contract suspension and termination for large and important construction projects have received a lot of attention from the government in recent years. When the government has developed a complete development plan and invests massive capital for large and important construction projects, if projects are delayed and cannot be carried out, this situation leads to a significant economic damage. This research utilizes the Grounded Theory to analyze the government’s construction plans and their progress information to identify the key causes of contract suspension and termination by project types and phases. Research outcomes indicate that changes on tendering strategy in the tendering phase by the client is the most critical cause for building projects; changes from clients in the planning and design phases is the most critical cause for railroad projects; insufficient labors in the construction phase is the most critical cause for MRT projects. This study has identified key causes of contract suspension and termination, those are valuable to the government in facilitating responses for contract suspension and termination.
