Chungnam Province Standardizes Construction Project Designs... "Ensuring Appropriate Construction Cost Payments"

'Revised Design Guidelines for Local Roads, Rivers, and Small-Scale Construction
Policy to Ensure Appropriate Construction Costs through Standardized Design'

Chungnam Province announced on the 16th that it has standardized the design of construction projects within the province by revising the "2024 Chungnam Province Local Roads, Rivers, and Small-scale Construction Project Design Guidelines."

The revision of the design guidelines was made to promote the activation of the local construction industry by ensuring appropriate construction costs for public construction projects, thereby improving the quality and safety of local construction companies.

The main improvements include ▲ reflecting revised unit prices ▲ incorporating basic data such as overhead rates, labor costs, material costs, and heavy equipment unit prices ▲ and revising and supplementing traffic safety facilities.

Chungnam Province expects that, due to the revision, unit prices for drainage work (10.7%) and paving work (10.5%) will increase by 5.8% compared to the previous year.

In addition, Chungnam Province plans to conduct the "Chungcheongnam-do Construction Sector Public Officials Capacity Building Training" to ensure appropriate construction costs are paid for small-scale construction projects within the province, including cities and counties.

Yoon Yeo-gwon, Director of the Construction Policy Division of Chungnam Province, said, "Since 2020, Chungnam Province has been presenting the 'Small-scale Construction Project Design Guidelines' to ensure appropriate construction costs for small-scale construction projects. We will do our best to guarantee that local construction companies receive their rights and benefits commensurate with their hard work."
