Years and months do not live, and the steps are not stopped.
2021 has passed.
This year, national events touched people’s hearts constantly.
We were elated with the great achievements made in the centennial of the founding of the party and were full of fighting spirit for the opening of a new journey towards the second Centennial goal.
This year, the century changing situation and the century epidemic situation were intertwined, a series of major events and policies related to the development of the construction industry continued, the trend of industrial reform and development was further clarified, difficulties and challenges increased significantly, and opportunities and risks coexisted.
Here, through 10 key words, review the reform footprint of the construction industry in the past year and look forward to the future of the industry.
Key words: sustained and healthy development, promoting reform to a deeper level.
In recent years, the state and industry competent departments have a very firm will to promote the top-down reform of the construction industry.
Looking back on 2021, it can be clearly seen that the reform of the construction industry has been continuously promoted along the opinions on promoting the sustainable and healthy development of the construction industry (hereinafter referred to as the opinions) issued by the general office of the State Council in 2017.
The opinions is a “top-level design” document specially issued by the state for the construction industry.
It is an important policy issued from the overall and overall situation of economic development.
The aftertaste of the impact brought by the opinions will continue to guide the formulation of industrial policies and lead the direction of enterprise transformation.
In the process of transformation and development, industry enterprises should look at the reform from the perspective of the overall situation, face up to difficulties, seize opportunities, and build new competitive advantages in the new development pattern.
Key words: green development construction industry completely bid farewell to the extensive development model.
In October 2021, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the opinions on promoting green development of urban and rural construction (hereinafter referred to as the opinions).
For the construction industry, the opinions sounded the clarion call for the industry to completely bid farewell to the extensive development model.
The opinions systematically constructs the basic methodology of green development transformation of urban and rural construction, draws a clear path for the development of urban and rural construction, and scientifically plans the development blueprint of all levels, fields and stages of project construction.
It can be predicted that during the 14th Five Year Plan period, green will become the “background color” of the reform and development of the construction industry.
Key words: double carbon goals seize the opportunity of carbon peak and carbon neutralization.
In 2021, the state successively issued the opinions on completely, accurately and comprehensively implementing the new development concept and doing a good job in carbon peak and carbon neutralization, and the notice on printing and distributing the action plan for carbon peak before 2030.
Under the guidance of the top-level design, the implementation plans for key fields such as energy, industry, construction and transportation and key industries such as coal, electric power, steel and cement will be released one after another to form a “1 + n” policy system of carbon peaking and carbon neutralization together with safeguard measures such as science and technology, carbon sequestration, finance and taxation, and finance.
Under the goal of “double carbon”, the industrial chain involving the whole process of architectural design, construction and operation will be subverted, and the trend of greening and industrialization will be strengthened.
Energy conservation and emission reduction in the construction field can not be achieved simply through local adjustment.
It must be carefully planned and gradually reformed.
The demand for advanced technology and new equipment for carbon reduction in the construction field will give birth to new development opportunities.
Key words: intelligent construction creates an upgraded version of “built in China”.
In 2021, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development summarized the experience and practices of various regions and enterprises, and successively released the first list of replicable experience and practices for the coordinated development of intelligent construction and new building industrialization, and the first list of typical cases of innovative services of new technologies and new products of intelligent construction.
From the issuance of the guiding opinions on promoting the coordinated development of intelligent construction and building industrialization jointly issued by 13 departments including the Ministry of housing and urban rural development to the release of experience and typical cases, it can be seen that the national and industry competent departments attach importance to and urgently require to promote the coordinated development of intelligent construction and building industrialization.
Based on information technology and supported by digital technology, intelligent construction realizes the integration and coordination of construction process, and promotes the industrialization, service and platform transformation of engineering construction, so as to deliver people-centered green building products.
This requires industry enterprises to seize key areas and weaknesses, reform and innovation, promote transformation and upgrading, improve quality and efficiency.
Key words: the reform of qualification management system promotes the construction industry to strengthen the trend of “survival of the fittest”.
In May 2021, the State Council issued the notice on deepening the reform of “separation of certificates and licenses” and further stimulating the development vitality of market subjects.
Subsequently, the general office of the Ministry of housing and urban rural development issued the notice on doing a good job in the reform and connection of “separation of certificates and licenses” in the construction industry, which clearly stopped accepting more than 60 qualification applications such as level III and level C, and further simplified the qualification category of construction engineering enterprises.
The notice further reflects the reform direction of “weakening enterprise qualification and strengthening individual practice qualification”.
In 2021, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development issued the notice on canceling the qualification approval of engineering cost consulting enterprises and strengthening the supervision during and after the event, the management measures for contracting and contracting pricing of construction projects (Revised Draft for comments) and other documents, with obvious intention to sort out the qualification structure from the source.
During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the qualification reform of the construction industry will be further deepened.
Key words: “two new and one heavy” central enterprises are still the main force.
In 2021, the state will focus on “two new and one heavy” (new infrastructure construction, new urbanization construction, transportation, water conservancy and other major projects.) And weaknesses, expand effective investment, strengthen systematic layout, accelerate the construction of 5g (fifth generation mobile communication technology), industrial Internet and big data center, implement urban renewal, promote the transformation of old urban communities, support the construction of affordable rental housing, strengthen the construction of urban flood control and drainage facilities, and promote the construction of a number of major projects, Inject new momentum into the high-quality development of the construction industry.
At the beginning of 2021, “two new and one heavy” was written into investment plans one after another, the growth rate of new infrastructure investment accelerated, and encouraging private capital to participate in the construction of “two new and one heavy” in the field of housing and urban and rural construction became a bright spot..
