- Abstract
- The Construction Industry Institute (CII) Contracts Task Force was formed to seek ways of increasing construction cost effectiveness by improving the contractual relationship of the owner and the contractor. This publication discusses studies undertaken to assess the impact on project performance of various types of contracts and commonly used contract clauses. The conclusions and recommendations of this study were distilled from the judgemental views of the highly experienced task force members, based on and supported by the quantitative analysis of the questionnaire responses. They merit attention, both because they may suggest improvements that can be made now and because of their value in prioritizing further research.
