Gyeonggi-do Dispatches Legal and Accounting Experts to Dispute Maintenance Zones... Starting as Early as December

Gyeonggi Province will dispatch experts in law, accounting, and other fields to redevelopment and reconstruction sites where disputes over construction costs arise between associations and contractors, providing consultation on the maintenance process and supporting dispute resolution.

To this end, Gyeonggi Province announced on the 15th that it plans to appoint about 30 experts in areas such as maintenance projects, mediation, construction and civil engineering, law, accounting, and administration within this month, and dispatch them to maintenance sites as early as December.

The targets for dispatch include cases where ▲ requests for increased costs exceed the scope of the contract ▲ disagreements arise between the association and the contractor over contract interpretation ▲ the association terminates or demands termination of the contractor after approval of the management disposition plan ▲ the association notifies or convenes a general meeting to dismiss executives related to construction cost increases ▲ the contractor announces or exercises a lien due to construction suspension, and cases where delays in maintenance projects are expected related to construction contracts.

When requesting expert dispatch, the relevant association must prepare detailed materials related to the issue, such as contracts, drawings, and construction cost verification results, to facilitate specific discussions. The local government must submit an expert activity report and the results of dispute mediation meetings to the province after the dispatch period ends.

Lee Gye-sam, Director of the Urban Housing Office of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Due to recent rapid price increases causing disputes over construction costs, housing supply in urban areas is shrinking, and there are concerns about property damage to association members and general buyers. Therefore, we decided to regularly dispatch experts." He added, "By dispatching experts to sites requiring construction cost verification, a platform for dispute resolution and mediation will be established, which is expected to revitalize maintenance projects."
