Gwangju City Hall

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 22nd that it has partially amended the "Gwangju Metropolitan City Construction Technology Management Operation Regulations," reflecting the revisions to the Construction Technology Promotion Act and improvements in the operation of the Local Construction Technology Review Committee, and implemented it as of the 21st.

The amendments include ▲ terminology changes according to the higher law, the "Construction Technology Promotion Act," ▲ strengthening the evaluation discrimination so that service providers with actual technical capabilities can be competitive during the evaluation of technical services (SOQ, TP), among other contents.

First, the term "Construction Technician" was simplified to "Construction Technologist," and "Construction Technology Service Provider" was changed to "Construction Technology Service Business Operator."

Also, following the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's revision of the "Design Service Evaluation Manual (PQ, SOQ, TP)," the differential evaluation weight for each service (SOQ, TP) evaluation item was adjusted from "around 5%" to "around 10%" to strengthen evaluation discrimination.

The revised preface and detailed matters can be checked at the National Law Information Center and the Autonomous Regulations Information System.

Lee Hanguk, Director of the Construction Administration Division, said, "This partial amendment of the operation regulations concerning construction technology management aims to elevate the status of local construction technologists, create a society where technologists are respected, and serve as an opportunity to improve the technical capabilities of local construction technology service business operators." He added, "We will strive to secure highly skilled construction technologists and deploy them to local facility construction projects to ensure safer and higher-quality construction."
