[Background]

When the maintenance project system under the "Urban and Residential Environment Improvement Act" (hereinafter referred to as the "Urban Maintenance Act") was introduced in July 2003, registered housing construction businesses were restricted from participating in the projects. Consequently, as an exception, the housing construction performance record was credited to the registered contractors (builders).

Although an amendment to the Urban Maintenance Act in March 2005 allowed registered businesses to participate as project implementers in maintenance projects, this change was not reflected in the system. This has led to an unreasonable situation where project implementers are denied rightful recognition for their performance records.

Therefore, in response to these changing circumstances, it is necessary to normalize the entity entitled to the housing construction performance record—shifting it from the contractor to the project implementer—in accordance with the original intent of the system.

[Main Points]

Establish separate recognition criteria for privately participated housing construction projects within the standards for verifying housing construction performance records. Furthermore, ensure that when a registered business participates as a project implementer in a maintenance project, the performance record is officially credited to that registered business acting as the project implementer.
