Abstract: Abstract In recent years, subcontract management has attracted more and more scholars’ attention because of its important role in project success and the growth of general contractors, and has become a research hot spot in building sector. In order to comprehensively show the status quo of subcontract management research and look forward to future research trends, the article retrieves 345 foreign literatures and 397 Chinese literatures collected by SCI and CNKI database from 2000 to 2018 for co-word analysis, systematically analyzing of the trends and characteristics of domestic and foreign subcontract management research. Through multivariate statistics and social network analysis, the overall research structure of project subcontract management is visualized, and the cited literatures with high frequency are interpreted and the existing achievements are analyzed in depth. The results show that the subcontract management research shows the characteristics of scattered research field and small research scale. The construction schedule control, risk management, construction supply chain management and partnership have become the important research topics at home and abroad. Compared with the English literature, the Chinese literature is slightly lagging behind and needs to be further refined, deepened and systematized. This paper presents the overall research status of subcontract management at home and abroad, which can provide reference for the future research.
