Namwon-si Encourages Construction Participation to Revitalize Local Construction Projects

[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jeong Young-kwon] Namwon City, Jeonbuk, is actively encouraging visits to large construction sites and the participation of local companies in construction projects to revitalize regional construction projects this year.

According to the city on the 31st, the construction industry was regulated by the division of work areas between general construction and specialized construction until last year. However, from January this year, with the introduction of the main field system through the major classification of specialized construction, the existing 28 sectors have been consolidated into 14 sectors.

As a result, general construction has expanded its work to include specialized construction, and specialized construction has also expanded its business to include general construction, enabling mutual market entry.

Accordingly, from January this year, construction businesses registered in two or more specialized sectors can receive prime contracts for general construction composed of specialized construction corresponding to those sectors. Additionally, general construction companies can receive prime or subcontracting contracts for specialized construction corresponding to their registered construction sectors.

A city official said, “This year, there are 29 additional specialized construction sectors registered in the city, and 72 additional main fields. Since the construction industry has a greater effect on revitalizing the local economy and creating jobs than other sectors, and with the newly introduced system, the city will further devote itself to revitalizing the local construction industry.”

Meanwhile, the city has been making every effort to increase orders and subcontracting for local companies and the use of local materials. It was awarded an excellence award among 14 cities and counties in the 2021 Regional Construction Industry Revitalization Evaluation conducted by Jeonbuk Province.
