GH Holds 'Talk Concert' for Win-Win Cooperation with Construction Partners on the 1st

Kim Se-yong, President of GH, is having a win-win talk concert with 16 construction companies and 17 engineering firms, among other partner companies, at the Suwon Convention Center on the 1st.

Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation (GH), together with domestic construction and engineering companies, announced four major tasks in the construction sector: fairness, human rights, innovation, and quality, and signed a win-win agreement to commit to their implementation.

On the 1st, GH announced that it signed a win-win agreement at the Suwon Convention Center with 16 construction companies including Daewoo E&C and DL E&C, and 17 engineering firms including Geonwon and Dohwa.

The event was held in the form of a talk concert, setting fairness, human rights, innovation, and quality as the four opportunity values for creating environmentally conscious new urban spaces (E&C), and discussing 10 practical tasks and measures to achieve them.

The participating organizations first agreed to enhance the expertise of bid evaluations and establish a fair and transparent bidding culture by introducing a design competition steering committee, strengthening the criteria for selecting evaluation committee members, and disclosing the evaluation process in real time.

They also agreed to promote the establishment of industrial safety and health management expenses exceeding 160% to protect the rights of construction workers and reduce serious accidents, and to prepare a standard labor contract (draft) for GH construction workers.

Furthermore, they decided to introduce smart construction technologies and establish zero-energy building standards to open new future urban spaces and respond to the climate crisis.

In particular, to address blind spots in apartment quality such as soaring heating costs, noise between floors, and home network hacking, they agreed to build an integrated quality management system and operate an 'SOS Quality Inspection Team' for quality control.

GH has already achieved results such as a 92% reduction in safety accidents at three sites after introducing a smart safety control system incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in June last year. They also expect visible results this year from the construction safety cost execution and settlement guidelines first established last year.

Kim Se-yong, President of GH, stated, "As demand for smart innovative technologies and carbon-zero energy buildings leading the 'era of opportunity' for future urban spaces increases, and as the public’s expectations for trust and human rights rise day by day,

we prepared this event to lead smart technology and fulfill social responsibility as a representative public institution of Gyeonggi Province."
