| Abstract | The construction industry has greatly developed and increased in recent years. In most EPe projects, it is common for over 80% of the work to be performed by subcontractors. This has resulted in main contractors concentrating their efforts on managing subcontractor performance rather than employing direct labor to undertake construction work. Therefore, main contractor need to develop a strategy that allow him to control subcontractor effectively and efficiently in terms of schedule delay. In order to understand how the current strategies are being operated together with the strengths and the weaknesses of the strategy, an EPe international contractor who is doing a very large project in Vietnam was investigated through documentation, archival, and interview. Major improvements are needed for the subcontractor control strategy for local subcontractors in order to improve the subcontractor management performance. In contrast, subcontractor control strategy and relationship management from international contractor had been aligned and organized. However, there are some major points, which need to be improved in order to strengthen and continually improve the strategy performance |
