Domestic construction industry gives the impression of labor-intensive industry, and is often associated with quality and safety incidents. There often is problem of "black-and-white contract" in project bidding. Due to fierce market competition, successful bidders have to get projects by accepting payment on account or reducing the construction cost. On the other hand, corruption in the construction sector continues despite repeated prohibitions. When construction enterprises work hard to complete construction projects, owners often default on the payment of large amount of construction cost and advanced payment making excuses on execution time, project quality, engineering standards, and settlement of construction cost, etc. Furthermore, this will lead to default by construction enterprises on wages payment to farmer labor. Construction enterprises also default on material payment to suppliers, resulting in instable project quality of the project. All these vicious circles have brought tremendous business risk and legal risk to construction enterprises.
For Chinese construction enterprises going abroad to open up new construction market, incomprehension of foreign political, economic and cultural environment and the local justice system leads to Chinese construction enterprises in Third World countries being involved in legal disputes at the cost of time and money.
For foreign construction enterprises’ branches working in construction in China, although there are more advanced construction management experience and technical capacity, due to incomprehension of China's legal system and concrete administrative examination and approval procedures, there are still a large number of financial waste and risks.
