Abstract

This paper first points out that the subcontracting phenomenon is generally seen in the present highway construction market. Its existence has its inevitability and necessity. Illegal subcontracting and management are also commonly seen. To strengthen the management of the subcontract works in highway construction is of great significance. Then this paper introduces the definition, concept, type, basis and guarantee, relationship between parties concerned, conditions of subcontracting, and the relevant provisions of FIDIC. Through several engineering examples, it explains that there are advantages and disadvantages of engineering subcontracting in highway construction and the scientific management can hasten and avoid the disadvantages. Finally, from the concerned parties of the subcontracting engineering of the highway construction, this paper discusses the implementation of the management of subcontracting engineering. Combined with the current practice of the subcontracts, the paper puts forward suggestions on how to carry on the management of subcontract engineering for owners, supervisors and contractors, including the selection of subcontractors, contract management, quality management, schedule management, cost management and materials and construction technology management, which can be considered as a reference for the management of the subcontract engineering of highway construction in the future.
