Summary of Research on Contract Risk Management of EPC General Contracting Project—Based on VOSviewer Knowledge Graph Analysis

With the improvement of China’s urbanization level and the development of the socialist market economy, the construction engineering industry is also facing new opportunities and challenges. As the most widely used EPC model in the field of engineering contracting, contract risk management is particularly important, not only related to the economic benefits of enterprises, but also has a significant impact on the improvement of the management level of general contractors in China. This article uses 264 articles of important industry journals in the 2016–2020 CNKI database and the Web of science core database as the data source to deeply analyze the research focus and trend of EPC general contracting project contract risk management. The conclusion shows that the research on the contract risk management of EPC general contracting projects has become mature, and the research interest has shown a downward trend in recent years. The research hotspots mainly focus on “EPC project pre-risk management”, “EPC project implementation process risk management” and “Three aspects of risk management in the later stage of EPC projects; the research hotspots of contract risk management of EPC general contracting projects in the future will mainly focus on emerging fields such as “informatization management” and “international engineering projects”. This has certain theoretical guiding significance for guiding EPC project contract risk management, improving construction project profit and improving the management level of China’s engineering enterprises.
