Regarding all aspects of tender production, I believe you have seen countless related articles on the Internet, but most of these articles have one thing in common - only for a certain part of the tender production or a certain feature to explain, and can not achieve the effect of "one article is through"。Today, Xiaobian will bring you the most complete and most detailed bidding process in history。From the purchase of bidding documents to the submission of bidding documents, the content covers how to read the bidding documents, the focus of the preparation of bidding documents, the details of attention, the key time regulations, the common preparation mistakes, the bidding techniques and the item-by-item checklist。

The code for self-seismic design was introduced, and the strong article stipulates that seismic design must be carried out for building mechanical and electrical engineering in areas with seismic fortification intensity of 6 degrees and above。The construction drawing of the new project has included the seismic support and hanger in the mechanical and electrical installation project, which makes us must have a deeper understanding of the seismic support and hanger。

The national standard GB55031-2022 "General Code for Civil Buildings" will be implemented from March 1!This code can be said to be the highest status, the relevant provisions of the current construction standards and this code are inconsistent, the provisions of this code shall prevail。The impact of this code on the building area is very large, according to the new regulations, from March 1st, the external wall and curtain wall surface layer are included in the building area!


























 



Old regulation GB/T50353-2013 "Construction area calculation Code" 3.0.Excerpt from Article 27:





The following items shall not be counted as gross floor area:

……


6 Feet, attached wall columns, stacks, steps, wall plastering, decorative surface, veneer material surface layer, decorative curtain wall, air conditioning outdoor unit shelf (box), components, accessories outside the main structure, pick out the width of 2.Pillarless awnings less than 10m and pillarless awnings with a ceiling height of two floors or more。

……




 


Since March 1st, the new regulations have been implemented, and the rules for calculating the construction area have changed greatly!


 



New regulation GB55031-2022 "General Code for Civil Buildings" 3.1.1条文：





The building area shall be calculated on the basis of the horizontal projected area of the space enclosed by the outer surface of the outer envelope at each natural floor (ground) of the building。



New regulation GB55031-2022 "General Code for Civil Buildings" 3.1.1 Article description:





If "each natural floor" is a non-single-storey building, the building area shall be the sum of the areas of each natural floor of the building;



 


"Floor (floor) surface" means the design completion surface of the floor (floor), and for the floor without structural floor, it shall be the top surface of the concrete cushion;

 



"Outer protective structure" refers to the outer wall, including glass curtain wall, metal curtain wall, stone curtain wall, artificial plate curtain wall, etc., as the outer protective structure;


 



"Outer surface" refers to the design finish surface of the outer protective structure. The building outer protective structure is generally composed of wall, insulation layer and decorative layer. The design finish surface is the outer edge line of the decorative surface layer.When the curtain wall is used as the outer protective structure, the "outer surface" is the outer edge line of the curtain wall panel (see figure).。










　The new rules, which apply to all new construction and major renovation projects, mean that more building projects are likely to be recalculated in the future, and some buildings may actually be much smaller than indicated。




So what impact will the new policy have on homeowners, homebuyers and developers?





For home buyers, they should pay more attention to the actual use area rather than the construction area。Although the calculation standard of the floor area has been updated, buyers should choose the right house according to the actual needs, and do not only value the floor area。At the same time, buyers can also ask real estate developers and agencies to understand whether the outer wall layer is included in the building area, so as to make a more accurate purchase decision。









For property owners and developers, property values need to be reassessed and the new calculation criteria adhered to。In addition, for properties that have already been purchased, owners can consider the floor area and future owners, homebuyers and developers need to pay more attention to the actual area used in order to make more accurate decisions。The calculation standard of the floor area will continue to be updated and improved in the future, and we should timely understand and adapt to the relevant policies。

In addition, in addition to the calculation of the outer wall layer, the new regulation also stipulates some other details。These details include the area of the house panel, the exposed area of the structure, the area of the balcony, and the area of the public part such as the ladder and corridor。

In order to further strengthen the quality inspection management of construction projects and ensure the quality of construction projects, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development recently issued a new version of the "Construction Project Quality Inspection Management Measures" (Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Order No. 57) (hereinafter referred to as the "Administrative Measures").。The relevant person in charge of the Engineering quality and safety Supervision Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban and Rural Development read the "Management Measures"。



 







What is the background of the revised Measures？







The quality of construction projects is related to the safety of people's lives and property, the future and inheritance of the city, and the development level of new urbanization。Since the 18th National Congress of the Party，以习近平同志为核心的党中央高度重视建筑工程质量工作，We have always been people-centered，Plan to build a quality country，In particular, the Party's 20th National Congress proposed "improving the well-being of the people.，Improving the quality of people's lives"，We will continue to enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security。

Construction project quality inspection is an important link to control project quality, an important means of government project quality supervision, an important basis for evaluating project quality, and plays an important role in ensuring the quality of construction projects。2005年，The former Ministry of Construction issued the "Construction Project Quality Inspection Management Measures" (Ministry of Construction Order No. 141)，It stipulates the qualification license, business development and supervision and management of testing activities of construction engineering quality testing institutions，It plays an important role in standardizing inspection behavior, maintaining inspection market order and ensuring engineering quality and safety。In recent years，With the continuous development of the construction market and testing industry and the gradual improvement of the people's requirements for building quality，In engineering construction, there are more and more testing items related to structural safety, functional use and new materials，Order 141 can no longer fully meet the needs of industry development and supervision，Urgent need to revise and improve。

 



What is the significance of the introduction of the "Administrative Measures"？



 


Construction engineering quality inspection is the "touchstone" of engineering quality and the "weight" of measuring engineering quality level, which plays an extremely important role in guaranteeing the quality of construction engineering。In recent years, with the rapid development of the construction industry, the construction engineering quality inspection industry has gradually grown, and the testing technical strength has gradually increased。同时，The positioning of testing institutions in the construction engineering quality testing industry does not adapt to the reality, the testing scope does not meet the actual needs of testing, the coverage of the main body of testing responsibility is incomplete, the application level of information technology in testing institutions is low, and the cost of violations is low，Some testing institutions are vicious competition and competitive price reduction，Even illegally issued false test reports，The project has buried hidden dangers in quality。The newly revised "Administrative Measures"，Further strengthen the quality inspection management of construction projects from many aspects such as adjusting the scope of construction project quality inspection, strengthening the dynamic management of qualifications, standardizing construction project quality inspection activities, improving the responsibility system of construction project quality inspection, improving the level of digital application, strengthening government supervision and management, and increasing penalties for violations of laws and regulations，Maintain the market order of construction engineering quality inspection，Standardize the quality inspection behavior of construction projects，We will promote the healthy development of the construction engineering quality testing industry，Ensure the quality of construction projects。


 







What are the main contents of the "Administrative Measures"？









 

(1) Improve the connotation of construction engineering quality testing and clarify the scope of application of testing。The first is to expand the testing content to "test items involving structural safety and main functions, building materials, building components, equipment, and engineering entity quality entering the construction site" to better meet the needs of social development。The second is to further clarify the scope of application for the construction of new, expansion, reconstruction of housing construction and municipal infrastructure projects in the construction of quality testing related activities and supervision and management。



(2) Expand the types of testing market entities and strictly regulate testing behaviors。First, it is stipulated that enterprises with independent legal personality, institutions and partnerships established according to law can apply for the qualification of testing institutions, engage in relevant testing businesses according to law and regulations, enrich the types of testing market players, and meet the actual needs of the testing market。The second is to standardize the testing activities such as commissioning, sampling, marking, submitting and receiving samples during the testing process, requiring testing institutions to establish a system for recording and retaining construction process data and result data, test image data and test reports to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of test data and test reports。Third, testing institutions are required to establish and use information management systems to manage testing activities, promote the digital upgrading of construction project quality testing, and ensure that the whole process of testing activities can be traced。Fourth, testing institutions should maintain personnel, equipment, testing sites, quality assurance systems and other aspects in line with construction engineering quality testing qualification standards，Strengthen the training of testing personnel，Regular verification or calibration of instruments and equipment in accordance with relevant regulations，To ensure that the testing technical capabilities continue to meet the requirements of the construction engineering quality testing activities。Fifth, improve the responsibility system of construction engineering quality inspection, clarify the responsibilities and obligations of units and personnel involved in the construction, construction, supervision and other testing activities, and improve the relevant provisions on prohibited behaviors。



(3) Strengthen qualification management and optimize the approval process。First, according to the practical needs of construction engineering quality testing activities, the qualification of testing institutions will be modified into comprehensive qualifications and special qualifications。The second is to implement the reform requirements of "discharge service", no longer require testing institutions to provide written materials such as business licenses, technical personnel title certificates and social insurance, and change the online verification by qualification licensing authorities to reduce the burden on testing institutions。Third, the qualification certificate is an electronic certificate, and the validity period is extended from 3 years to 5 years, which is convenient for testing institutions to carry out business。The fourth is to strengthen the qualification review expert review process to ensure the professional and technical capabilities of testing institutions。The fifth is to strengthen dynamic supervision, the testing agency violations of the relevant situation into the qualification licensing conditions, requiring the testing agency to change matters affecting its compliance with the qualification standards, should be submitted to the qualification re-approval application to ensure that the testing agency continues to meet the requirements of the qualification standards。

(4) Improve the supervision mechanism and increase penalties。First, strengthen the information supervision of construction project quality testing, and stipulate that local competent departments at or above the county level establish construction project quality testing and supervision information systems to improve the level of information supervision。The second is to strengthen the control of the construction project quality testing process, and stipulate that the competent authorities should implement dynamic supervision of testing institutions and increase supervision methods such as random testing。The third is to increase the application of credit information, stipulating that after the competent authorities punish the testing institutions, the relevant units and personnel should be punished information to be made public, and the implementation of trustworthy incentives and punishments for breach of trust。Fourth, we will increase penalties for violations of laws and regulations，For example, requiring testing institutions to issue false test data or test reports，The competent department shall order correction，Be fined not less than 50,000 yuan but not more than 100,000 yuan;Causing harmful consequences，Be fined not less than 100,000 yuan but not more than 200,000 yuan;criminal，Criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law。In the construction project seismic activities of the testing institution has the relevant behavior, in accordance with the "Construction project seismic Management Regulations" the relevant provisions shall be punished。


此外，In order to achieve the qualification standards timely adapt to the new situation, new circumstances, new requirements，Construction project quality inspection qualification standard is no longer as an annex to the "Administrative Measures"，The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will issue a separate qualification standard for testing institutions，The qualifications and reputation of the applicant, technical personnel, testing equipment and sites and other conditions and business scope shall be stipulated。
