A STUDY ON CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT IN A BUILDING PROJECT

“CM（施工管理）”这个词最近经常被使用。CM是建筑业改革的必然课题，但这种在西方国家盛行的合同形式对日本建筑业也有许多不利的方面。考虑到日本建筑业的性质、文化和习俗，认为西式CM将成为日本建筑业合同形式的主流未免过于草率。本研究以不记名问卷方式，对建筑工程中的CM方法进行了调查。选择了日本的2000家大公司，明确了客户对以下项目的需求和选择：（1）公司概况;（2）负责建设项目的部门;（3）建设工作的最近情况;（4）对设计公司和建筑公司的要求;（5）对建筑公司的要求。（5）对新的建筑合同形式的意见。从大约400家公司的答复来看，很明显，客户对CM方法很感兴趣，他们中的许多人可能会考虑将来是否采用CM方法。这些答复也表明，所有雇主对设计公司和建筑公司并不完全满意;还有很大的改进余地。此外，通过对建筑公司和咨询公司的听证会以及美国的CM现状进行分析，阐明了满足客户需求的可能性以及对日本式CM方法的看法。

The word "CM (Construction Management)" has been used frequently these days. CM is an inevitable subject for rebolution in construction industry.However, this form of contract which is prevalent in Western countries has many unfavorable aspects for Japanese construction industry. Taking into consideration the nature of Japanese construction industry, its culture, and its custom, it is a little too hasty to conclude that the Western-style CM will become the mainstream in the form of contract in Japanese construction industry. It is more important ot think about Japanese-style Cm method which is suited Japanese construction industry.In this research, the survey was conducted on CM method in construction project anonymously. Two thousand major companies in Japan were chosen clarify clients' needs and options on the following items : (1) An outline of the company ; (2) A division in charge of construction project ; (3) the recent situation of construction work ; (4) Requests to design firms and construction companies ; and, (5) Opinions on the new form of construction contract.Looking at the answers obtained from about 400 companies, it is clear that clients are strongly interested in CM method and many of them are likely to conseder whether to adopt CM method in the future. These answers also suggest that all employers are not completely satisfied with design firm and construction companies ; there is much room for improvement. In addition, hearings from construction companies and consultants as well as the present CM situation in the U.S.were analyzed to clarify the possibility for responding clients' needs and the opinions on Japanese-style CM method.
