Abstract

In the implementation of construction project, conflict inevitably occurs due to different interests of all the participants, which brings about the negative control over project progress, quality, and cost etc. The evolutionary game theory is applied in order to produce a comprehensive analytic framework for solving such problem. Based on this theory, evolutionary game model is established and the evolutionary stable strategy (ESS) is obtained under different circumstances. The results show that, project builder can gets higher revenue when they take aggressive strategy, and driven by economic interests, project owner may take the high hand in order to maximize its revenue. At last, in light of these problems, several suggestions are given in order to solve the construction project conflict problems.
