| Title: | A comparative study of the benefits of applying target cost contracts between South Australia and Hong Kong | Authors: | Chan, DWM Lam, TIP Chan, JHL Ma, T Perkin, T |
Issue Date: | Apr-2012 | Source: | Project management journal, Apr. 2012, v. 43, no. 2, p. 4-20 | Abstract: | This article aims to identify and analyze the key benefits of adopting Guaranteed Maximum Price and Target Cost Contracts (GMP/TCC) over and above the traditional lump-sum contractual arrangement through an empirical questionnaire survey conducted in South Australia and compared with the findings in Hong Kong. The Mann-Whitney U Test indicated differences in perception between the two groups of respondents on the majority of the identified benefits. The study has provided an in-depth understanding of the perceived benefits of the GMP/TCC scheme, hence leading to a wider application of those alternative integrated procurement strategies in both regions for reference by the construction community at large. | Keywords: | Benefits Guaranteed maximum price Target cost contracting South Australia Hong Kong |
