Construction Details

  • Facility maintenance is carried out in order to promote user convenience and safety by removing the harmful factors in advance by inspection to maintain the function of the constructed facility and maintaining the initial constructed state by repairing and reinforcing the damaged parts. At the same time, improvements that are required according to the elapsed time are carried out and additional facilities are built.
  • After completion, with the passing of time, user convenience will diminish and discomfort will increase due to a decline in performance that is caused by members, parts, and equipment that make up the facility wearing out and deteriorating. In addition, stability will be greatly reduced, increasing the risk of disasters and accidents. If the facility is replaced before the projected lifespan, there will be an enormous construction cost that will adversely affect the national economy
  • In addition, the possibility of future facility accidents occurring due to natural disasters like earthquakes and fires is expected to continue. In the 2000s, the frequency of magnitude 2.0 or higher earthquakes has increased, and fire-related damages to facilities and human life have also increased. Since there are numerous cases in which such natural disasters that are difficult to be prepared for lead to facility accidents and damages to human life immediately afterwards, preventive facility safety management is more important than anything else.
  • Considering this, proactively preventing the occurrence of disasters and accidents and securing quality, performance, and stability by repairing, reinforcing, and replacing, according to need, to increase efficiency of investment resources in addition to preventing disasters and accidents, are very important at the construction policy and economic policy level.

Unlike other industry types, the facility maintenance field was created under the “Special Act on the Safety and Maintenance of Facilities,” and the work scope is more diverse and the registration standards have been strengthened compared to other professional construction industry types.

Differences Compared to Other Professional Construction Industry Types

  • Capital of the Professional Construction Industry Types: 150 million
  • Capital of the Facility Maintenance Business: 200 million

According to the “Framework Act on the Construction Industry,” most of professional construction businesses can register for the construction business if they meet the registration criteria of two technicians and 150 million won or more in capital. However, the registration requirement of the facility management business has been strengthened considerably compared to other industry types. The registration conditions for the facility management business are 4 or more civil engineers or building engineers, 200 million won or more in capital, and 10 types of equipment. Therefore, it can be said that the weight and role are greater compared to any other professional construction businesses.
