Seodaemun-gu, Creating a Construction Culture for Residents' Safety

Investigation on Compliance with Construction Business Registration Standards for Construction Contractors (July to October)

Jointly promoted with Seoul City to prevent deterioration of construction quality and safety accidents

Seodaemun-gu (District Mayor Lee Seongheon) announced on the 12th that, for the first time this year, it will investigate the "compliance with construction business registration standards for construction contractors" to prevent poor-quality construction and establish a fair construction culture by ensuring the quality and safety of construction work.

The investigation will target top-ranked construction contractors in bid openings for projects over 500 million KRW receiving city funding, focusing on ▲projects requiring quality and safety assurance to prevent poor construction ▲projects funded by city subsidies ▲nighttime construction involving traffic control ▲construction of facilities heavily used by citizens such as pedestrian overpasses.

The investigation will cover items such as construction engineer certifications and regular employment status, financial statements reported to the National Tax Service, office lease contracts, and office equipment, in accordance with Article 10 of the Framework Act on the Construction Industry (Construction Business Registration Standards).

The investigation will be conducted jointly with Seoul City from this month through October. Administrative actions such as business suspension will be taken against non-compliant construction contractors. For non-compliant contractors outside the jurisdiction, the investigation results will be forwarded to the registration authority.

Earlier this year, Seodaemun-gu produced and promoted a notice emphasizing the importance of using registered specialized construction businesses to prevent resident damages such as delays, defects, and work stoppages caused by contracts with unregistered interior construction companies during interior works.

Lee Seongheon, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, stated, “We will do our best to create a construction culture that residents can trust by preventing deterioration of construction quality and safety accidents.”
