“…Engineers in FIDIC contracts, for example, perform both contract administration and certification tasks (Abdul-Malak et al, 2019). However, the combination tends to undermine contractual privity because obligations and liabilities can only be restricted to contract parties, in this case, the owner/employer and the primary contractor (Hughes, 2006). Because of this, Besaiso et al (2018) revealed that the engineering agent's independence as an arbiter of payments was compromised when the owner delegated his tasks to the engineering agent.…”

“…The second benefit of this study is that it illuminates the rationale for contract negotiations, which can be used to assess current contract practices. Although parties are free to contract according to their terms (Hughes, 2006), it asserts that role separation can help alleviate the problem (Besaiso et al, 2018). It also serves as an example of how contracting principles can deviate from the norm.…”

Previous research linked late, underpaid, and non-paid contractors to various performance issues. However, the degree to which these differences in practices enable the problem under design-bid-build contracting is unknown. To address this gap, expert interviews were used to rate 11 incompatible practices. One-mode matrices were computed by utilizing social network analysis methods. Using metrics like structural equivalence and Euclidean distance, the study established that different indexes have different connections to the payment problem. The most significant index suggests the issue is a low-cost acquisition strategy. The strategy's misaligned interests were also corroborated by the hierarchical clustering and block modelling results. The study contributes to the methodology of assessing the efficacy of existing payment default remedies, rationalization of intermediary roles, and illustrates deviations from the general contracting principles.

Within construction, roles are generally thought of in terms of a division of labour, tasks and responsibilities, established through contractual and/or cultural relations. Moreover, roles are also presumed to be relatively stable. Drawing upon actor network theory, roles are re‐conceptualized and it is argued that roles are emergent and that they depend upon the tools and devices with which the project managers are equipped. A case study of the construction of a skyscraper, the ‘Turning Torso’, in Malmö, Sweden highlights the hybrid role of project management. In some instances project management may act as a mediator having qualitative effects on the project while in other instances project management may only be an intermediary, merely speeding up the process by conveying the concerns of others. The concept of qualculative project management is introduced to account for this emerging hybrid role. The analysis shows the ways in which the budget and other devices participates in enacting a qualculative role for project management, while simultaneously being involved in negotiating boundaries between professional roles in construction as well as the qualitative and quantitative properties of the building.Roles, emergence, construction process, project management, budgeting,
