Due to the development of Chinese economics, the construction industry has experienced the largest expansion in the last two decades. In order to encourage free enterprise and competition within both the national and international environment, the construction delivery mechanism in China was changed from traditional government allocation to competitive or price based bidding. The problems encountered in this transfer have been similar to other countries utilizing the competitive award system. This paper proposes that through analyzing the lessons learned from countries that have matured in the low bid award process, China can avoid common errors and accelerate the benefits of the system. Education of professionals in the US identifies that one of the primary reasons for poor performance is the client’s professionals’ misunderstanding of the source of construction nonperformance. The results of a survey that was given to US construction personnel before and after facilities education on the source of construction nonperformance shows that the professionals’ misunderstanding is a major issue in industry performance, and can be addressed through facilities education (20% alteration). The authors propose to test the Chinese perception for similarities, to determine if the educational program that was successful in the US can also increase the level of construction performance in China.
