Due to complexity and individuality of large construction projects, wide recruitment of specialist contractors has become a trend of the industry in recent years. Thus, it is a normal practice to divide such projects into smaller parts to be carried out by specialist contractors. Naturally, more emphasis is put on maintenance of coordination between contractors and construction project firms. In this paper, it is intended to investigate the literature of both fields to find out about similar requirements of the Collaborative Network and General Contractor of construction projects, establish common possible existing points and finally highlight the most significant studies. Additionally, we will take a look at those studies with a particular focus on collaboration network in construction to report on approaches taken and results obtained. It seems necessary to drive our attention towards needs of General Contractors arising from modern day business environment and also, capabilities of Collaborative Network in meeting those needs. Findings show that, it is quite possible for General Contractors to enter successfully into the international market by applying Collaborative Network system. Again, it is hoped for this paper to be a reliable reference for those working and interested in subject area, helping them to gain some insight for future studies and also bridging the gap in management of large projects by employing Communication Management which is 1 of the 9 scopes discussed in Project Management Body of Knowledge.
