Abstract: Abstract The construction laws play a very important role in regulating the behaviors of all participants throughout the construction process. Previous studies on the effectiveness of the construction project management mainly put emphasis on the effect of the specific lines in the construction laws. This paper comparing the construction project laws adopted in mainland China with the public construction law of Macao, analyzes the legal process in two legal systems respectively to discuss the relationship between rights and obligations in the management process. Based on the results of the comparison, their advantages and shortcomings have been demonstrated. The primary problems of the construction management in mainland China is the ambiguousness in specifying rights and responsibilities and defectiveness in management process, to this end, a reference value analysis of the Macao’s public construction laws is introduced to get the process improved. At last, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge project, as a study case, has been selected to assess the improvement effectiveness, four suggestions comprising establishing quality management system, staying on the progress schedule, project improving payment procedures, and clarifying the liability in construction process were put forth. This research is also trying to propose some useful advices and give reference to analyze the management of the public construction works in China.
