This publication contains abstracts of research reports published by Construction &
Economy Research Institute of Korea (CERIK). The CERIK was established in 1995 as a
private research institution focusing on the construction industry. Our research staff
carried out over 250 research projects during the last 6 years. This volume compiles
abstracts of 61 research reports originally written in Korea.
Our research reports can be classified into 4 categories; policy analyses, forecasts for
the construction market, analyses of construction firms and their strategies, and
researches on construction management (CM). Reports on policy issues cover various
topics including procurement systems for public works and the deregulation of the
construction industry. In the area of market forecasts, we published reliable estimates
for the construction industry periodically. Our studies on construction firms focused on
management strategies of domestic and foreign contractors. In the area of CM studies,
our research projects focused on how to introduce this new contract method into the
existing procurement system.
Since the financial crisis of 1997, the Korean construction industry has undergone severe structural changes. We have put much effort on research projects that can put forward policy prescriptions and management strategies respectively for the government and general contractors in trouble.
We are proud that some of our research projects triggered public discussions of new
institutional frameworks. These include studies on the real estate investment trust
system (REITs), the construction management (CM), and the Remodeling of old
buildings.
We hope that this volume will be helpful as a basic reference book to those who want in-
depth understanding of the Korean construction industry.
