For this reason, on behalf of the current council, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the members of the previous council headed by Comrade Huang Qiang and the secretariat. I hope that everyone will continue to care and support the work of the branch. At the same time, I am willing to work with the new vice-chairmen to unite and lead all the directors and comrades of the secretariat, with the goal of promoting the development and reform of the construction industry, give full play to the role of bridge and link, and conscientiously do all the work of the branch, In order to promote the progress of construction technology, provide a broader communication platform for construction technical workers, and strive to create a better tomorrow for the construction industry.

The current term of the Council is at a critical period for the deepening reform and transformation of my country's construction industry. It is also a connecting stage for completing the "12th Five-Year Plan" and welcoming the "13th Five-Year Plan". Construction technology continues to innovate and With vigorous development, the Construction Branch, as a witness and participant in the progress of the industry, has the responsibility and obligation to promote the reform and development of the industry, conduct in-depth exchanges, gather wisdom, accelerate technological progress in the industry, improve technical levels, and lead the development of the industry. Taking this opportunity, combined with the current and future development trends of the construction industry, let’s talk about some thoughts on the future main work of the Construction Branch:

1 Strengthen the research and promotion of green construction technology

Green Building It is one of the main trends in the current development of the construction industry. Green construction is an important means and effective way to realize green buildings. According to statistics, as of the end of 2013, 1,446 green building label projects had been evaluated by governments across the country, with a green building area of ??160 million square meters. In 2014, it is expected that there will be 170 million square meters of new green buildings.

In 2012, the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China discussed "ecological civilization" in a single article for the first time, placing the construction of ecological civilization at the height of the five-in-one overall layout of the socialist modernization drive in the new era, and emphasized that: Efforts will be made to promote green development, circular development, and low-carbon development, and form a spatial pattern that conserves resources and protects the environment.

Green buildings have become a basic requirement for new urbanization construction. According to the main indicators in the "National New Urbanization Plan", the proportion of urban green buildings in new buildings will increase from 2 in 2012 to 50 in 2020.

Green building is the current development direction of the construction industry and the leading trend of future construction. Green construction is an inevitable process to realize green building.

The sustainable development of the construction industry is the transformation from the traditional high-consumption extensive growth mode to the high-efficiency intensive mode. The construction mode is changing from labor-intensive to technology-intensive. Green construction and green construction It is one of the important ways to achieve this transformation. Implement green construction and continuously enhance the competitiveness of enterprises by improving construction technology and strengthening scientific and refined management. Promote green construction with project management and technology integration as the starting point, make full use of BIM technology, realize management informatization and construction informatization, improve the overall level of green construction, and then improve the production efficiency of construction enterprises.

Increasing resource allocation and promoting green construction requires overall planning, multiple measures, and coordinated support:

1) General contracting is the institutional guarantee for realizing green construction;

2) BIM Technology is an effective means and support for realizing green construction;

3) Construction industrialization is the technical guarantee for realizing green construction;

4) Green building materials are the material guarantee for green construction;

5) The professionalization of employees is the human guarantee for realizing green construction.

The construction branch and related enterprises should actively carry out research and engineering applications of green construction technology, actively apply "four new" technologies, and gradually develop construction industrialization with factory production, assembly construction, and information management. The system reduces the impact of construction on the environment and reduces construction waste by promoting the use of energy-saving and low-noise machines, increasing the utilization rate of ready-mixed mortar, and the number of on-site formwork turnovers.

The Building Construction Branch should organize more green building, green construction, and green construction technology exchange activities, actively promote advanced construction technology and experience, work hard to achieve green building development goals, and promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry. Member units should actively participate and actively support.

Green building, green construction and green construction do not mean that enterprises must increase investment and affect the construction period and economic benefits. On the contrary, through scientific design, technological innovation and refined management, the comprehensive benefits of enterprises will be enhanced. Not only can we continue to seek benefits from operations and costs as before, but we can also seek benefits from technology, management and innovation.

2 Promote the integration of design and construction and the application of information technology

Under the trend of global economic integration, with the advancement of construction technology, the construction industry has changed in market rules, product structure, and projects. Management models, human resource allocation and many other aspects have undergone or are undergoing profound changes. The traditional engineering construction model that separates design, procurement, and construction in my country's construction industry is far from being able to adapt to the needs of the new construction market. Exploring and promoting general engineering contracting models that are suitable for the development characteristics of domestic construction companies have become common knowledge and inevitable choices among competent authorities, industry associations, and large domestic construction companies.

Promoting the general contracting project management method integrating design and construction will have a significant impact on the development of the construction industry and provide guarantee for the implementation of green construction. In the traditional project contracting model, the contractor's responsibilities mainly focus on construction according to the drawings. The general project contracting model integrating design and construction promotes the construction enterprise to take the whole process management concept of the project as the core, coordinate planning, coordinate management, pay attention to and promote Deepen the design and material and equipment procurement links to comprehensively maximize project benefits.

Realizing collaboration among the three links of design, procurement, and construction can solve the long-standing problem of disconnection and mutual constraints among design, procurement, and construction. Designers can take into consideration the construction process and existing construction technology during the design stage, promote green construction from the design source, make the design drawings more practical and operable, reduce the difficulty of construction and procurement, and improve the current insufficient construction drawings of design companies. Deep questions. The integration of design and construction is conducive to controlling project construction costs. Close cooperation between design, construction, and procurement can increase designers' attention to project investment and avoid the disconnect between design and cost control. Through solution optimization and design optimization, we can achieve cost reduction, efficiency improvement, energy saving and consumption reduction, and sustainable development. At the same time, problems such as design changes and project rework caused by poor communication between design and construction personnel are reduced, and construction is forced to optimize the design. The integration of design and construction is conducive to engineering design improvement and accelerating technological innovation. The design, procurement, and construction parties can increase their understanding of each other. Designers can apply the discovered problems to the continuous improvement of subsequent engineering design and improve the level of engineering design; while procurement and construction engineers can improve the efficiency and quality of procurement and construction management, and improve technical level and independent innovation capabilities. The integration of design and construction is conducive to improving the level of project management. The implementation of the integration of design, procurement, and construction will help gradually improve the service level of the domestic general engineering contracting industry, realize the transformation of the general engineering contracting industry into a knowledge-intensive one, and at the same time cultivate a group of comprehensive talents who understand design, procurement, and construction management, and accelerate Integration with the international market.

China's construction industry is in a critical period of transformation from traditional construction industry to modern construction industry. The expansion of management radius poses severe challenges to the management capabilities of enterprises. Realizing management modernization through informatization and improving the core competitiveness of enterprises have become the common sense of construction enterprises.

Informatization construction is not only a technological change, but also a thinking update and management innovation. The information construction of integrated design and construction enterprises involves a wide range, deep levels, and large amount of information. It is a huge and complex system project. The informatization process of an enterprise is a step-by-step and gradual improvement process. It should be combined with the actual situation of the enterprise. The ultimate goal is to improve the enterprise's collaborative management capabilities and operating level and create value for the enterprise.

BIM technology is considered to be another revolution in the field of building information, which will change the traditional construction management concept and lead construction technology to a higher level. The comprehensive application of BIM technology will greatly improve the degree of integration of construction management. It can also promote the transformation of the production mode of the construction industry, realize the integration of design and construction, and provide an effective technical guarantee for the development of construction industrialization. It has significantly improved the quality and management efficiency of architectural design, engineering construction, operation management and even the entire project, playing an important role in improving efficiency, saving costs, shortening the construction period, and ensuring quality.

Relying on the Architectural Society of China, the cradle of architects, the Building Construction Branch should give full play to the advantages of the close connection between design and construction, strengthen the linkage between design and construction, promote the integration of design and construction, and promote information construction to promote construction enterprises Management innovation.

3 Actively promote the development of new construction industrialization

The country’s overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform has put forward new requirements for transformation and development of the construction industry. Construction industrialization is known for its green, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, Integrated advantages such as high quality and high efficiency will surely become the driving force to improve the level of lean construction of construction projects and promote the transformation of the economic structure of the construction industry. As one of the transformation directions, new construction industrialization has become increasingly clear. How to seize this opportunity, take advantage of the trend, and follow the trend are issues that require serious consideration by the entire industry. The theme of this annual meeting is "Developing Construction Industrialization and Promoting Enterprise Transformation and Upgrading", which is in line with the development trend of construction industrialization. I hope everyone can have in-depth exchanges.

Construction enterprises must be prepared in two aspects to transform into new construction industrialization. First, they must master industrialized construction technology, which is the key to the success of the transformation. Researching and establishing an enterprise's independent standard system and construction methods is the core of successful transformation. In the future, whoever masters the standards and construction methods will control the market, and whoever masters the standards and construction methods will be able to seize the opportunity and win the initiative in the new round of changes. Second, when transforming to the direction of new construction industrialization, we must move away from the traditional management model, promote overall and coordinated development from the perspective of the entire process and system of house construction, establish an integrated management model for the entire industry chain, and focus on promoting projects. General contracting maximizes overall benefits by integrating and optimizing industrial resources. Especially in the early stages of the development of construction industrialization, when the degree of socialization is not high and the professional division of labor has not yet been formed, only by following this model can the entire industrialization technology and management model be solidified. These two aspects are indispensable. In the process of promoting the industrialization of new construction, if we firmly grasp these two aspects, we will grasp the focus of the work. If we persist, we will be able to achieve the development goals.

For construction companies with different qualifications, their transformation directions should also be different. Large-scale construction enterprises must further deepen reforms, adjust their individual industry structures, promote the construction of group-based modern construction enterprises, and develop into comprehensive general contracting enterprises integrating engineering design, material procurement, and construction contracting. In the construction of residential buildings, we implement various forms of integrated general contracting of design and construction, strengthen two-way information feedback between scientific research, design, and construction, actively adopt industrialized construction methods and new building systems, and give full play to the overall technical advantages of the enterprise. For enterprises with only construction qualifications, they can transform into professional construction, transform from project management companies to engineering companies, highlight professional construction capabilities, and form a professional construction team.

Relying on the industrialization of construction to promote transformation and development requires both strategic development planning and implementation at the operational level; both policy guidance and market regulation; both technical support and industrial development. There needs to be publicity and resource investment. The industrialization development of new construction requires higher levels of technology, equipment, and standards to support it. It is necessary to form a construction management, scientific research, design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance system that matches the industrialized construction method. It is necessary to comprehensively improve the construction site assembly and mechanized production capabilities, and to form a serialized and diversified supply of prefabricated components and building parts. System, the adoption of new structural systems and new energy-saving materials is an important measure to realize the industrialization of construction. It is in line with the development direction of my country's new industrialization road and is a very important entry point to realize the modernization of the construction industry.

Construction industrialization is an important direction for the development of my country's construction industry in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt to the requirements of developing the construction market and continue to deepen the structural reform of the construction industry as soon as possible, learn from the historical experience and lessons of my country's development of construction industrialization over the past decades, as well as useful foreign experiences and practices; comprehensively consider the acceptance of my country's construction market, technology Development level, regional differences, and characteristics of labor resources; focus on building industrialization, especially residential buildings that are large in volume and wide in scope and directly related to improving people's living standards, such as the construction of low-rent housing and public rental housing, and then Gradually promote its application in commercial housing.

As my country's urbanization process accelerates, energy conservation and environmental protection requirements are increasing, and labor costs are increasing. These have gradually become bottlenecks restricting the further development of the construction industry. From a macro level, construction industrialization is the only way for the future development of China's construction industry. Construction industrialization can significantly reduce labor, shorten construction period, reduce labor intensity, save energy and reduce consumption, and improve comprehensive benefits, which fully reflects the essential requirements of transformation and upgrading. With reference to the development process of the international construction industry, promote prefabricated concrete, light steel structures and other building systems suitable for industrial production, accelerate the development of prefabrication and assembly technology for construction projects, and improve the level of integration of construction industrialization technologies. Actively promote full-scale residential decoration, encourage new residential buildings to be decorated in one go or menu-based decoration, and promote the organic combination of personalized decoration and industrial decoration to complement each other.

As the industrialization of construction continues to heat up, the term PC is also frequently mentioned from top to bottom. However, prefabricated concrete (PC) cannot be simply equated with concepts such as construction industrialization and green construction. The development of construction industrialization does not mean rejecting cast-in-place, nor does it mean blindly pursuing high prefabrication rates. We must adhere to the principles of "applicability, economy, and beauty", adapt measures to local conditions, and develop rationally.

4 Find the correct positioning of the society, highlight the focus of work, and lead the development of the industry

The China Construction Construction Branch is a national voluntary organization composed of domestic enterprises and institutions engaged in construction, scientific research, teaching, etc. Social academic groups are organizations where construction talents are concentrated and play a very important role in promoting the progress of construction technology and striving to improve the quality of construction. In the future, the construction branch should play a good role as a bridge and link, study how to continuously expand service areas, improve service levels, enhance service capabilities, and strengthen technical exchanges, lead industry development, promote construction technology progress, and improve construction quality as the branch's focus. . At the same time, the branch continues to improve and expand its influence in various activities serving the industry.

The branch holds an annual meeting of the Building Construction Branch every year. Based on the development direction and hot spots of construction technology, the theme of the technical exchange meeting is determined. Through everyone’s joint efforts, the annual meeting of the Building Construction Branch is made rich in content. , leading the development of construction technology, active participation of members, construction companies and related units, and a grand event with great industry influence. In addition, the branch holds one or two exchanges and seminars for executive directors and above every year to discuss hot issues in the industry and exchange advanced technologies in the industry. It can be co-organized or hosted by the vice-chairman or executive director unit.

The National Construction Industry Reform and Development and Project Quality and Safety Conference held by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in May this year and the "Several Opinions on Promoting the Development and Reform of the Construction Industry" issued on July 1 reflected the housing and The new leadership team of the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development has implemented the determination and will to comprehensively deepen the reform spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. In his speech at the National Conference on Construction Industry Reform and Development and Project Quality and Safety, Wang Ning, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, proposed 8 issues that need to be studied and solved in the reform and development of the construction industry in the future, requiring that under the new situation and new tasks, we must With a strong sense of responsibility and urgency, in accordance with the laws of market economy and industry development requirements, we must grasp key issues and principal contradictions to promote better and faster development of the construction industry. The issuance of the "Several Opinions on Promoting the Development and Reform of the Construction Industry" was issued in a timely manner by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development after carefully analyzing and studying the current situation of my country's construction industry and the outstanding problems existing in the current construction market and project construction management. A "prescription" is of great significance for changing the development mode of the construction industry and promoting the healthy, coordinated and sustainable development of the national construction industry. The "Several Opinions on Promoting the Development and Reform of the Construction Industry" specifically pointed out that in the future, we must give full play to the industry's self-discipline role of associations in regulating industry order, establishing codes of conduct for industry practitioners, and promoting corporate integrity management, and improve the role of associations in promoting technological progress in the industry. , improve industry management level, reflect enterprise demands, put forward policy suggestions and other service capabilities.
