Three major obstacles to the development of steel structure construction enterprises

Steel structure building is a kind of emerging industry in the construction industry, compared with the traditional building type, it has the characteristics of short construction period, simple construction, green and environmental protection of materials, and can be reused. In recent years, Sichuan steel structure is booming, the state also attaches great importance to the development of such a low-carbon building industry, vigorously promote steel structure workshops, steel structure housing, steel structure buildings and so on. Sichuan Xirong steel structure construction also took advantage of this spring breeze in the Chengdu steel structure industry. However, with the development of the industry, some problems have gradually emerged, and if these problems are not reasonably solved, they will gradually become a stumbling block to the development of the steel structure industry.

First: the qualification of steel structure enterprises

The

original qualification standards of steel structure construction enterprises only need to reach a certain amount of registered capital, but there are no specific provisions for project managers, engineering and technical personnel and engineering performance. As a result, many construction companies based on civil engineering can easily obtain steel structure qualification additions. These companies basically do not have a large-scale manufacturing base and professional steel structure engineering and technical personnel, so after receiving the task, some project managers subcontracted to small workshops without steel structure qualifications in order to reduce costs, resulting in hidden quality hazards.

Some people think that steel structure is to weld several steel plates together to form components, and then put them together like building blocks to make money. In fact, no, steel structure building seems simple, in fact, it is a comprehensive application of mechanics, architecture, mechanics, steel composition, performance, welding and other professional field knowledge.

At present, the steel structure company

only has the professional contracting qualification of steel structure, and many steel-based projects must also be contracted by the civil engineering company, even if the project is only based on reinforced concrete, it must be controlled by the civil engineering company. Sometimes there will be a large steel structure company working for a low-grade civil engineering company, which is extremely unreasonable and brings many adverse consequences.

Funds, progress, quality, and construction period are generally controlled by general contracting, which makes steel structure enterprises very passive. Civil engineering enterprises do not understand steel structure, and in order to catch up with the schedule, domino-style collapse accidents occur from time to time because the support system is not installed. The production efficiency of steel structure is high, and there should be higher profits, but now steel structure has also become a micro-profit industry like civil engineering, with a profit margin of less than 5%, which can only be developed by the growth of quantity, which cannot be sustained.

Sichuan Xirong Steel Structure Construction believes that for steel-based projects, steel structure construction enterprises should have general contracting qualifications, and some places have partially adopted this suggestion. In 2008, the new qualification standards also mentioned that first-class qualified steel structure companies can implement general contracting for steel structure projects that second-level civil engineering companies can contract. Xirong steel structure construction was also upgraded to the second-class qualification of steel structure in 2016, and also has the third-level contracting qualification of foundation foundation.

Second: steel structure industry supervision issues

At present, when the steel structure undertakes infrastructure projects, as a part of the construction industry, it is managed by the construction administrative department, and the safety and quality, qualification assessment, personnel training, tax management, etc. are included in the civil engineering series, and the local government regards them as manufacturing enterprises, but also to count the report, pay taxes, withstand the supervision of the Technical Supervision Bureau and inspect as a manufacturing product. This has caused unclear ownership, multi-head management, and multi-head charges, resulting in steel structure enterprises being at a loss and overburdened.

From the beginning of bidding, many steel structure enterprises

must be bundled with civil construction companies, which limits the subjective initiative of steel structure enterprises. From the perspective of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the steel structure professional contracting qualification is the highest level, and due to the manufacturing characteristics of steel structure enterprise component production, for this reason, the China Steel Association has issued a manufacturing grade, which has special qualifications, so that there are two qualifications coexist, so that many enterprises have to deal with both sides. The design of steel structure is more accurate than that of concrete structure, the discreteness of engineering quantity is smaller, the price changes little, and winning the bid at the lowest price often causes price competition, resulting in reducing the quality of steel structure engineering, and even producing the problem of reducing safety reserves with "optimization". The steel structure should be more prominent in technical content, pay more attention to high quality and competitive price, promote the progress of the industry, maintain its due profit margin, and cannot be compared with civil construction, so that it is reduced to a low-profit industry.

Third: the problem of steel structure professionals

Should begin to cultivate composite talents, the steel structure into the civil system, due to the steel structure and

civil engineering has a large difference, qualification assessment and personnel training and steel structure disconnection, resulting in the trained personnel can not adapt to the corresponding work, project manager can not adapt to the management of steel structure engineering. It is difficult for project managers in mechanical majors to obtain the qualification of first-class builders, even engineers who specialize in industrial and civil construction and have been engaged in steel structures for a long time, because they are not familiar with civil engineering professional work, it is difficult to obtain the qualification of first-class builders, which brings great obstacles to the talent reserve and growth and development of the industry.

Since building steel structure is a new industry, it is different from the mechanical steel structure produced by the original machinery manufacturing plant, such as boilers, steam turbine frames, etc., and is also different from the traditional civil industry, so steel structure enterprises are more special, more difficult to manage and more risky than simple manufacturing plants or construction companies. Graduates who simply enter the steel structure industry from mechanical major or industrial and civil construction major can not quickly adapt to the technical work of steel structure at the beginning, and need to run in and relearn for a long time in order to work better. The personnel of the industrial and civil construction profession lack the knowledge of manufacturing and processing technology, do not understand welding, and the detailed drawings made do not meet the process requirements, while the personnel of the mechanical profession lack the basic knowledge of building structure and building mechanics, although the components of the parts are clear, but the overall building formed by the final assembly lacks understanding. If you can directly train talents who combine these two aspects well in colleges and universities, the problem of shortage of steel structure professionals will be gradually solved.

The sustainable development of steel structure construction enterprises should follow the following points

First, it should be made clear that the steel structure belongs to the construction industry, and its administrative department is the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

Second, as an independent category of the construction industry, steel structure should carry out industry statistics, industry training, industry planning and qualification assessment, including registered builders and related constructors, quality personnel, data officers, safety personnel, material personnel, welders, etc.

Third, steel structure majors should be set up in colleges and universities to cultivate application-oriented talents suitable for working in steel structure enterprises.

Fourth, unify taxation and adopt preferential policies conducive to the development of the steel structure industry.

Fifth, steel structure enterprises

have general contracting qualifications for steel structure engineering, and train and transport corresponding management and technical talents for steel structure enterprises.

Sixth, the contractor tries to separate the steel structure project and bid for the steel structure enterprise.

Now the social economy is in a period of rapid development, any industry pays attention to timeliness, steel structure as a short construction period, material province of the construction industry, very suitable for the current rapid development. However, because it is an emerging industry, the supporting facilities of management, talents and taxation in all aspects are not perfect, so only if the government and relevant departments pay attention to it, our steel structure construction industry can go to a new level!
