A Fundamental Study on the Relation between Techniques and Skills in Construction Work First, the paper deals with a historical review the relation between techniques and skills in construction work, which has revealed that it has been evolved., along the times. This paper summaries the evaluation in historical perspectives and casts some thoughts on the future division. Next, by hearing from construction companies and by understanding a field work at construction site, the evaluation system of skilled workers has been reconsidered. From the above, the following findings are obtained:(1) techniques and skills were inevitably put in one person before industrial modernization, but they were separated when modern foreign techniques were introduced: and (2) the current evaluation system for skilled construction workers does not properly appreciate their skills. In view of findings, the paper proposes that the character skilled construction workers for next generation should be “the whole worker” who is capable of field skills, design techniques and construction techniques. This transformation may be possible when techniques world become much easier to get acquainted with in the future.
