Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province has uncovered a total of 185 violations, including illegal subcontracting, through inspections of public construction projects within the province.

On the 29th, Gyeonggi Province announced that from August to December of last year, it conducted self-inspections on 28 major construction sites commissioned by Gyeonggi Province, including the Byeollae Line double-track railway construction project (Sections 4 to 6), focusing on illegal subcontracting and compliance by construction contractors, resulting in the detection of 185 violations.

The main inspection items included whether subcontracting was done in bulk, subcontracting to unregistered construction businesses, payment of subcontracting fees (advance payments, progress payments, etc.), issuance of payment guarantees for subcontracting fees and construction equipment rental fees, and whether the construction contractor (subcontractor) notified the client of subcontracting contract details.

Regarding the violations found, Gyeonggi Province took measures such as ▲imposing fines (5 cases) ▲correction orders (70 cases) ▲administrative guidance (105 cases), and notified construction contractors, clients (ordering departments, ordering institutions), and other relevant authorities.

Additionally, to prevent repeated illegal subcontracting in future public construction projects, the inspection results and violation cases were shared with all departments, public institutions, and city and county offices within the province.

Lee Myung-seon, Director of the Construction Policy Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We will continue to pay close attention and make efforts to ensure that illegal subcontracting and delayed payments of subcontracting fees do not occur in Gyeonggi Province’s public construction projects, and that a fair construction culture is fully established."

Unfair practices such as delayed payments of subcontracting fees and construction equipment rental fees by general construction companies located in the province can be reported to the ‘Subcontracting Irregularities Reporting Center.’ Reports can be submitted through the Gyeonggi Provincial Government website.
