Abstract

Construction contract management within the framework of construction law plays an important role in mitigating risks, ensuring the effective implementation of projects, and providing a legal basis for dispute resolution. In the context of increasingly complex construction projects, there is a growing need for robust and effective contract management strategies to control financial, technical, and legal risks. In practice, many projects experience cost overruns, delays, or contractual disputes primarily due to limitations in contract management. Therefore, from the perspective of preventing waste and negative practices, the proactive and continuous application of contract management measures serves as an essential risk management tool.
