By means of governance, the order can be achieved to realize mutual gains and to mitigate conflict in a relationship. According to nature, the construction industry is unpredictable and dynamic as there are complex situations between contracting parties. In accordance with contractual governance, all the ambiguities and fundamental complexities related to handling contracts can be fixed effectively. Besides, contractual governance is also represented as a mechanism to promote the relationship between contracting parties. When designing a contract to use in a practical situation, the contractors are going to take more risks and responsibility than the owners. So, most of the former researches explained that can harm the relationship between contracting parties.
