3. Exclusive interpretation of these contents, you can't help but know

Main content: The total output value of the construction industry completed by the national qualified general construction contracting and professional contracting enterprises has an average annual increase of 13.48%, and the added value of the construction industry has an average annual increase of 8.99%. In 2015, the added value of the construction industry in the whole society was 4,654.7 billion yuan, accounting for 6.79% of the GDP; the number of employees in the construction industry reached 50.937 million, accounting for 6.58% of the national total.

Analysis: The "Opinions on Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the Construction Industry" issued by the State Council not long ago clearly pointed out that the construction industry is a pillar industry of the national economy. Judging from the results of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", the pillar status of the construction industry is indeed well-deserved. In this year's government work report, it is particularly emphasized to promote the reform and development of the construction industry, so what are the main problems the construction industry is facing now?

The development of the industry is extensive.

The skills of construction workers are not high.

The supervision system and mechanism are not perfect.

Obviously, the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period is a period of coexistence of opportunities and challenges, and the above-mentioned issues will also be the key areas for the reform and development of the construction industry. So what are the goals for the development of the construction industry in the past five years?

Main content: The total output value of the national construction industry has an average annual growth rate of 7%, and the added value of the construction industry has an average annual growth rate of 5.5%. By 2020, the number of construction workers above the mid-level skill level in the construction industry will reach 3 million. All new civil buildings in cities and towns meet the requirements of energy-saving standards, and the area of ​​prefabricated buildings accounts for 15% of the new buildings. Accelerate the revision of laws and regulations such as the Construction Law, and strengthen the supervision of project quality and safety.

Analysis: Seeing this, you must be most concerned about what measures the government will take to achieve these goals? These new changes in the fields of corporate qualifications, labor employment system reform, architect responsibility system, and construction industry business tax reform need to be focused on.

Main content: Adhere to the reform direction of weakening enterprise qualifications and strengthening individual practice qualifications, and gradually build a construction market access system that combines qualification licensing, credit constraints and economic checks and balances.

Accelerate the revision of enterprise qualification standards and management regulations, simplify the setting of enterprise qualification categories and grades, and reduce unnecessary qualification certification.

Carry out pilot projects in some regions, and enterprises with good credit, relevant professional and technical capabilities, and able to provide full performance guarantees, relax the restrictions on the scope of contracted businesses within their qualification categories.

Improve the individual practice qualification system, optimize the setting of individual practice qualifications in the construction field, strictly implement the rights, obligations and responsibilities of registered practitioners, increase the investigation of practice responsibilities, and severely crack down on leasing and lending certificates. Orderly develop individual practice firms, and promote the establishment of an individual practice insurance system.

Analysis: Weakening enterprise qualifications is not simply de-qualification. In the new access system, qualifications, credit, and economic checks and balances are indispensable.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has never weakened the crackdown on the behavior of listing certificates. The special emphasis this time makes people look forward to it. Will there be more stringent measures in the future?

Main content: Promote the organization and specialization of workers. Reform the organizational form of construction labor, support labor teams to set up professional enterprises focusing on work such as carpentry, electrician, masonry, and steel making, and encourage existing professional enterprises to do specialization and refinement, and form a new type of building with complete specialties, reasonable division of labor, and supporting facilities. Industry organizational structure

Analysis: Let professional people do professional things, which is also an important step to promote the transformation of workers into industrial workers.

Main content: Improve the registered architect system, and explore the implementation of the architect responsibility system in civil construction projects.

Analysis: The internationally accepted architect responsibility system is really coming, are the majority of architects ready? The implementation of this system will surely further simplify the government approval process in construction activities, and strengthen and expand the architect's right to speak and status , making the entire construction process more professional and efficient.

Main content: Promote the development of prefabricated concrete structures, steel structures and modern wood structures. Guide new public buildings to give priority to steel structures. Encourage scenic spots and rural buildings to promote the use of modern wooden structures.

Analysis: Compared with traditional wooden structures, modern wooden structures have undergone great changes and improvements in material usage, construction methods, safety and lifespan. This is also the reason why the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development advocates the promotion of wood-structured buildings according to local conditions.

Main content: Liberalize the enterprise's right to operate independently, the right to employ and allocate resources. Scientifically and steadily advance the pace of reform of the property rights system, improve the rational flow mechanism of state-owned capital, introduce social capital, allow management, technology, capital and other factors to participate in income distribution, and explore effective ways to develop a mixed-ownership economy.

Analysis: The core of power of a formal construction enterprise in operation, employment and resource allocation. Without delegating power, enterprises will have no vitality and will not be able to attract social capital, and it will be impossible to talk about mixed ownership reform.

Main content: Completely complete the construction industry business tax to value-added tax reform, strengthen investigation and research and follow-up analysis, improve relevant policies, and ensure that the industry's tax burden will only be reduced rather than increased. Gradually implement the system of project payment guarantee, advance payment guarantee, contract performance guarantee, maintenance fund guarantee and other systems.

Analysis: According to the latest announcement of the State Administration of Taxation, starting from June 1, the construction industry will be included in the pilot scope of small-scale VAT taxpayers issuing special VAT invoices on their own. Substantial steps have been taken to reduce but not increase the burden on enterprises.

Interpretation of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Construction Industry" from the Perspective of Construction Enterprises

1. The traditional construction market will experience negative growth, and traditional enterprises may face the embarrassing situation of waiting for death without transformation, or seeking death after transformation

The "Planning" proposes that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the total output value of the national construction industry will increase by 7% annually, and by 2020, the area of ​​prefabricated buildings will account for 15% of the area of ​​new buildings. This will mean that the traditional construction market space will be further compressed, and construction companies with cast-in-place production methods will face greater survival pressure.

At the same time, the prefabricated production method also faces many problems from the current situation, such as: large initial cost investment, high production cost, and user acceptance needs to be improved. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the construction industry will change from traditional production methods to assembly. In the important stage of the transformation of the traditional construction method, construction companies will face the embarrassing situation of waiting for death without transformation, and seeking death after transformation. Construction companies need to be cautious, and the final result still needs to be tested in practice.

2. The bidding method will change, and the market competition environment will improve

In the housing construction projects with private investment, the construction unit independently decides the contracting method. Promote the electronization of the whole process of tendering and bidding transactions, and promote the openness and transparency of the tendering and bidding process. While implementing the lowest bid in principle, the lowest bid on the basis of providing performance guarantees shall be implemented to restrict malicious low bid bids.

3. The enterprise qualification standard will be revised again, and the qualification will be weakened

Adhere to the reform direction of weakening enterprise qualifications and strengthening individual practice qualifications, and gradually build a construction market access system that combines qualification licensing, credit constraints and economic checks and balances. Reform the qualification management system of construction engineering enterprises, speed up the revision of enterprise qualification standards and management regulations, simplify the setting of enterprise qualification categories and grades, and reduce unnecessary qualification certification. According to the content of the "Plan", the following three important information are revealed:

1. There will be major adjustments to the qualification standards, and the categories of qualifications will be reduced;

2. The investigation and punishment of "exhibited certificates" will be stronger, and the punishment will be stronger;

3. Whether it is an enterprise qualification declaration or a personal practice, credit will become an important consideration.

4. Promote the unified opening of the construction market

Break down the regional market access barriers, cancel the unreasonable access conditions set by the laws and regulations and the State Council for enterprises in various regions and industries, and strictly prohibit the establishment of approval or filing items without authorization or in disguised form. Increase the information disclosure and accountability of market barriers and obstacles in various regions, and provide a fair market environment for construction enterprises.

5. Explore the guarantee for payment of project funds, and the rights and interests of construction enterprises will be guaranteed

Strengthen contract performance management, and explore the use of economic and legal means such as contract performance guarantees and project payment guarantees to restrain construction units and contractors from performing their contracts. Guide construction units and other market entities to comprehensively use credit evaluation results through market-oriented operations, and create a construction market environment where "one place is untrustworthy and everywhere is restrained".

6. Strengthening construction safety supervision

strengthen the depth
