Abstract
The Construction Law of the People's Republic of China was decreed on 1 November 1997 and will enter into effect on 1 March 1998. The Law was promulgated by the highest legislature in China, the National People's Congress (NPC), and is the first general national legislation governing construction activities in China. Prior to announcement of the Law, the State Council, the Ministry of Construction and many local governments had enacted a substantial body of regulations covering a wide range of matters in the contruction industry. The Law now codifies the basic principles of these pre-existing construction regulations, while at the same time introduces a number of new important principles. As a piece of national legislation, the Law will prevail over all the pre-exisitng construction regulations. (1) Scope of application and department-in-charge (2) Construction permit (3) Licensing of contractors and consultants (4) Tenders, contracts and subcontracts (5) Construction managers (6) Safety, quality and liability
