【Life on the Construction Site】It is not just that a construction factory will build a house, and the construction factory is also different.

Sometimes my self-built friends will ask me which construction factory is good. Do you have any recommendations? Can you help us build a house where you work? In fact, I would prefer to refer them to a friend's company. Construction plants specialize in different projects. Some build factories, some pave roads, some build bridges, some build parks, and then build houses. And houses are not necessarily the same. Some only build single-family buildings. Some only build buildings, and construction plants are also subdivided.

1. Classification of construction industry

Just, this division method is relatively accessible in the industry, if you are a friend who wants to build it yourself, you don't need to worry too much.

1. Comprehensive construction industry

As the name implies, most of the construction work can be done, including bridge building, paving, and building houses. In addition, there are grades A, B, and C. The cases that can be handled vary in size and scale. For villas, Grade C construction plants can take over.

It is similar to the work of a construction factory, but it is not in the scope of A, B, and C. There is also the civil engineering contract industry. The upper limit of the amount of work undertaken is 7.2 million. Unless the scale of the house is really small, it is not easy to let the civil engineering contract work. Industrial takeover of single-family villas.

2. Professional construction industry

The projects that the professional construction industry is responsible for are relatively detailed, such as the curtain wall of the building, the landscape engineering of the park, the waterproofing of the house, etc.

Generally speaking, the professional construction industry will be the subcontractor of the comprehensive construction industry. However, my younger brother may not have so much engineering experience. At present, the subcontractors who do waterproofing and landscape engineering do not register the company in the way of professional construction industry. line number.

2. Construction plants related to building houses

The same is true for residential buildings. Each construction plant has its own scale. The general development model is from small to large. Of course, there are construction plants that focus on a certain scale, and work with the company's capital and cooperating third-party manufacturers. It is related to capacity. After all, if the scale expands too much at once, there is a risk that it will not be able to be completed.

1. Detached villa

This is often a construction factory cooperating with a fixed architect, or a business group founded by two or three architects. One of the architects will open an office to be responsible for the design, and the other architect will open a factory to be responsible for the construction.

Because the scale of single-family housing cases is relatively small, some architects will undertake one-stop service. From design to construction, it is a bit like interior design. If you find the same unit for design and construction, you can save a fortune Design fees and profits are obtained by the construction side.

If the construction factory only accepts small-scale villa cases, it will take a lot of cases in a year, otherwise it will be easy to starve to death. It is estimated that the profit of a case of 10 million is 300,000 to 500,000, which is more than a lot. People's annual salary is still low, right, so there are very few pure construction industries that rely solely on single-family villas to make a living.

2. Townhouses

This is more often seen in the construction plants under the newly established builders. He is a relatively simple construction model. According to the current regulations, the higher the floor of the house, the more inspections to be done, and the more abundant the funds, so the newly established The builder will not push a case of more than 20 floors in one step, it must be done step by step.

And builders sometimes set up their own construction factories for two reasons. One is to increase profits and take back the 3-5% of the construction factories into their own pockets; the other is to ensure quality. Cut corners in some places.

As far as the above matter is concerned, my opinion is that it is absolutely fine to increase profits, but it is not necessary to ensure the quality of construction. The thinking of builders and builders is actually different. What builders think about is marketability, what kind of pattern is easy to sell? What is the best material for this price? How does the money work? How to communicate with customers? However, some builders have a high degree of professionalism in construction, and it is very likely that the layman will lead the expert. Anyway, the most money is spent, and no one will refute them, and there will be a situation where the knowledge remains in place after more than ten or twenty years.

3. General building

Here, it generally refers to buildings with more than 5 floors. The cost will fall between 10 million and 100 million yuan. The net profit is slightly higher and can support a company without too many employees. It is easier to survive at this scale, but usually he assigns a lot of people to help you manage a case. The businessman does not do business at a loss, and more employees will have more costs. This money will often be passed on to the owner.

4. Super high-rise buildings

This is a case that a Grade-A construction factory is taking on. Generally, self-construction is not very familiar. It is a construction factory that builders are more likely to look for. I will not say more about this part.

5. Others

In fact, there are many construction site directors who have been working for a long time and will go out to take small cases by themselves, which is the kind of single-family villa mentioned above. They will borrow cards from other construction companies to undertake cases. Some directors are really powerful, and one person can take care of the construction site. It's very good, but they will also encounter a state of ineffective capital turnover, which will cause them to keep asking the owner for money. Maybe they were very happy when they were about to build, but they became enemies when they didn't finish it.

The worst thing is that half of the debt is overturned, and the construction company has to come out and wipe out the bottom line, which will have a bad impact on the director and the reputation of the construction plant. We don't know.

3. Conclusion

When self-built friends are looking for a construction plant, they might as well look for past cases in construction plants of similar scale. For example, if you want to build a single-family villa, you will find the case experience. Most of them are construction plants that build single-family villas, and you need to build 5~10 If you have a high-rise building, you can find a construction factory that builds a general building. There will be no problems, and I will provide you with reference.

I'm Mr. Engineering, a little engineer working in the construction industry. Construction industry is an industry with very closed information. Most of all experience can only be passed down by the industry. I hope to do my best to share the knowledge and life of the industry with everyone.
