Abstract
The Contractor Compensation Research Team was established to develop breakthrough approaches to contractor compensation. Founded on the premise that traditional engineering and construction contracts perpetuate competing interests between owners and contractors, the team began with the goal to rethink contractor compensation in order to align contractor performance more closely with owner objectives. Compensation was interpreted boradly to include reward, recognition, money payment, future opportunities, expanded roles, and reduced risk.
