Feature Articles : New Era of General Contractors

A bright light has shone on the construction market where the severe situation has continued as construction investment has decreased to half of the amount compared to the peak period. 

However, the construction industry is facing various issues, such as low profitability due to severe price competition in the mature construction market, human resources shortage due to aging of technicians and the loss of young people from the construction industry, and productivity improvement.

Instead of staying on the course in the conventional way, the construction industry has to take on some new challenges such as productivity improvement by using mechanized construction and Information and Communication Technology (ICT), introduction of new site management procedures, cross-industry collaboration, and initiatives toward coexistence with region and environment.

In order to open up a new era, it is indispensable for General Contractors to make innovations by creating new values and services that meet the various needs of individual customers.

Entitled “New Era of General Contractors”, this special issue focuses on General Contractors, the main players of construction in the construction market, and introduces the various efforts general contractors are making towards the coming new era from two perspectives “changing site” and “changing market”.
