The Research And Countermeasure Of The Contractors' Unequal Status In Construction

As an important material resource of all sectors of national economy, construction industry plays a significant role in national economy's development. But in present building market, the contractors are unequal status. In granting contracts stage, compiling the bidding documents and drawing up contract clauses by employer unilaterally causes the contract provisions not to be fair. In project implementation stage, there are so many unequal senses in project funds payment, project modification, project compensation, project audit and other some aspects. In fact, looked from legal body in law or the principle of economics, both proprietors and contractors should be equal. Based research on upper theories, especially equality and benefit theory, it can be obviously found that the passive position of contractors in project must do harm to the healthful order of market economy. So innovation is imperative. Improving the contractor's own character, creating industry association to handle the unfair dealing, strengthening government control and management, carrying out these measures could restrain all aspects in building industry and ensure equality to contractors.
