摘要

合同管理员在建筑行业发挥着至关重要的作用,因为他们管理建筑合同的执行。合同管理员既是客户的代表,又是承包商的独立证明人。这种双重角色会在其职责范围内带来冲突;因此,合同管理人员在为客户和承包商服务时能否公平公正地履行职责,引起了人们的关注。本研究考察了建筑行业合同管理人员的独立性和公正性。本研究回顾现行新西兰标准建筑合同形式,以了解合同管理员的角色和地位。我们在新西兰进行问卷调查,收集42名建造业从业员的意见。调查结果表明,新西兰建筑业可能存在合同管理人员的独立性和公正性,这体现在大多数调查受访者在履行职责时都经历了合同管理人员合理和公平的行为。本研究通过揭示新西兰建筑部门合同管理人员的独立性和公正性,有助于现有的合同管理知识。此外,本研究也提出改善合约管理人在建筑合约形式中的法律义务的关注与建议,对实务有一定的贡献。

Independence and impartiality of contract administrators in the construction sector
Contract administrators play essential roles in the construction sector as they administrate the execution of construction contracts. A contract administrator acts as a representative of clients and an independent certifier to contractors. This dual role can bring conflicts within its duty; therefore, concerns have been raised regarding whether contract administrators can perform their duties fairly and impartially when serving clients and contractors. This study examines the independence and impartiality of contract administrators in the construction sector. This study reviews the current New Zealand standard construction contract forms to understand the role and position of contract administrators. A questionnaire survey was conducted in New Zealand to obtain views from 42 construction practitioners. Survey results suggest that the independence and impartiality of contract administrators may exist in the New Zealand construction sector, manifesting in the fact that most survey respondents experienced a reasonable and fair act from contract administrators when performing their duties. This study contributes to existing knowledge of contract administration by revealing the existence of independence and impartiality of contract administrators in the New Zealand construction sector. Also, this study contributes to industrial practices by putting forward the concerns and recommendations to improve the legal obligations of contract administrators in construction contract forms.
