Jeonbuk Province Expands Operation of Technical Advisory Group for Apartment Complexes

Expectations for Budget Savings and Dispute Prevention in Apartment Repair Works

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] The Jeonbuk Province's technical advisory group for apartment complexes will be expanded.

Jeonbuk Province announced on the 18th that it plans to expand the advisory services of the technical advisory group for apartment complexes so that more residents can benefit.

First, the scope of advisory targets will be expanded from apartment complexes that have passed 10 years since the usage inspection to all apartment complexes whose defect management period has ended. Additionally, applicants will not only include representatives who have obtained the consent of the majority of the resident representative meetings or residents, but also management entities such as the head of the management office.

Furthermore, the application deadline will be extended until before the construction implementation (bidding), and advisory requests can be made both before and after the design phase.

Moreover, the number of advisors will be increased from one expert per field to two, enhancing the quality and effectiveness of the technical advice and promoting its activation.

Since January this year, Jeonbuk Province has been operating the ‘Jeollabuk-do Apartment Complex Technical Advisory Group,’ composed of 29 experts in eight fields including architecture, civil engineering, landscaping, electricity, mechanical facilities, fire protection, communications, and elevators, to ensure transparent and efficient apartment complex management.

The advisory group, composed of private experts, has been inspecting sites on behalf of management entities lacking expertise and providing free advice on appropriate timing for repairs, repair scope, and construction methods. In the first half of this year, 1,781 households in two complexes benefited, showing high satisfaction.

Jeonbuk Province expects that the activation of the technical advisory group will help prevent disputes among residents caused by inflated construction estimates and poor-quality construction, as well as reduce construction costs.
