The contagion of risks in general contracting contracts caused by breach of contract by construction enterprises is an important issue in project group management, and construction enterprises lack attention to the risks in general contracting contracts. The article analyzes the business of general contracting contracts, elaborates on the influencing factors of risks in general contracting contracts, summarizes the infectious subjects, sources, media, pathways, directions, and receptors of risk transmission in project group general contracting contracts, and summarizes the mechanism of risk transmission in project group general contracting contracts. Corresponding measures are provided for construction enterprises to address the causes of risks in general contracting contracts.
