AbstractThis study aims to study the fast-track construction methods adopted by Chinese contractors. The research methodology of this study used Qualitative method by case study. In order to achieve the research objectives, five case were selected from different countries. All the information in this study was given by the interviewees through interview. The analysis will include a detailed examination of the construction methods, project management techniques, technological innovations, and strategic partnerships utilized in these projects. By focusing on these five case studies, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fast-track construction approaches adopted by Chinese contractors and their implications for global infrastructure development. To find out the common practices or methods adopted by Chinese contractors for fast-track construction, cross-case analysis was implemented. Fast construction methods adopted by Chinese contractors was concluded in the last Chapter, such as Strong Government Support and Coordination, Use of Experienced Contractors, Advanced Construction Techniques and Technology, Pre-fabrication and Modular Construction, Concurrent Construction Activities. However, addressing the challenges and risks inherent in large-scale infrastructure projects remains critical to achieving sustainable and successful outcomes. This thesis offers valuable insights into the practices and impacts of Chinese contractors in the global construction arena, contributing to the broader understanding of international infrastructure development. At end of this study, several recommendations for the further study was given, including suggestion, research focus, and purpose.
