Subcontracting in Croatian construction industry

Transformation of Croatian economy, including the field of construction industry, has confronted Croatia with some very difficult tasks. In addition to thorough changes in the proprietary relations, the transition includes some other changes in the size and in the organizational form of the enterprises. Great efforts are required in the transition to market economy and in the transformation of the economic system with the final goal to join the modern global trends. In terms of reorganization and transformation, Croatian construction industry tends towards the disintegration of large construction companies into a number of small, privately owned, highly specialized enterprises. The increase in the number of registered enterprises in the field of construction industry is accompanied by the decline in the total number of workers and by the decline of the average number of workers in enterprises. Such changes in the structure of construction enterprises have led to the fact that there is almost no firm that could completely carry out complex construction projects. The specialization of construction enterprises made it necessary for them to subcontract and to cooperate with each other very closely. The paper deals with the problem of different variants of subcontracting in Croatian construction industry. The paper presents the positive and negative features of each subcontracting variant.
