Description: Aligning both owner and contractor objectives is widely thought to be a catalyst for better project      performance. For this very reason, contract incentives are employed in order to identify and ensure focus on      the owner's goals. The scope of this report is to research the extent of use and consequent effects of      construction contract incentives offered by owners. The relative use by owners of construction phase      incentives will be characterized, and an incentive use index assigned to each project. Additionally, the impacts      of incentive use in terms of cost, schedule, and safety will be investigated. A relationship between the relative      incentive use (incentive index) and project performance will also be examined.
