| Abstract |
The objective of this paper is to suggest the improvement of estimating system for construction management (CM) service fee through the analysis of the previous literatures and criteria and case study. In order to do this, this paper considered the relevance of existing criteria to estimate the CM service fee, the condition of input ratio of engineering resources in the real cases, and current utilization strategy of nonresident technical engineers. Based on the analysis, the following problems were identified; a) the different estimating system for CM fee and construction supervision fee, b) impractical estimating system for the CM fee, and c) inappropriate allocation of human resources for CM. Consequently, this paper suggested the following 4 items for the improvement of the existing system; (1) modification of the current structure of CM fee calculation, (2) rationalization of current level of the CM fee which is required to be raised approximately 5.4 percent compared to design or supervision fee, (3) securement of elasticity of the input ratio of engineering resources from the inception phase, and (4) development of the utilization strategy of nonresident engineers based on the technical requirement of the jobsite. Thus, it is anticipated that this research would affect the compensation package of CM in order to make the estimation process of CM service fee more efficient and to revitalize CM as business. |
