Sažetak
Contract management is an essential part of project management as well as construction management. International contract management practice has a great influence on Croatian construction contract management practice (CCCMP). The influence is manifested in the terms of globalization and integration processes, in the implementation of new financing models, in the ascending market demands, as well as in the increase of projects’ complexity. The shortage of national assets and a constant need for the Government’s borrowing from international financial institutions, resulted with the presence of international contract management and legal systems (Common Law) in the Republic of Croatia, which are inconsistent with the domestic ones (Civil Law). Such an influence urges for a remodelling and reshaping of the national contract practice. For instance, public projects financed by the international finance funds, due to the lack of quality and eligible domestic contract practice, often result in the direct application of FIDIC Form of Contract. The aim of this paper is to present the construction contract management as a form of a complex organizational process composed of several generic sub-processes, possibility of implementing data tracking and control system (DTCS) and its specificities in the CCCMP, with the emphasis on Progress Billings and Payments sub-process.
