Source: Hubei Daily

On April 23rd, the General Office of the Hubei Provincial Government issued the "Several Measures to Support the Stable Development and Transformation of Construction Industry Enterprises" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), proposing 16 hard measures from six aspects: optimizing administrative services, cultivating market entities, tax and financial support, reducing enterprise costs, accelerating transformation and upgrading, and adhering to the "going global" development. By loosening the restrictions and reducing burdens, we can boost enterprise confidence, promote healthy development, transformation and upgrading of enterprises Go out and cheer up.

Expanding the scope of carbon emission reduction preferential loans

Increase financial service support. Promote green loans, integrity loans, contract loans, tax credit loans, and emergency relief funds for small and medium-sized enterprises in the construction industry, and assist in multi-channel financing; Green buildings, ultra low energy consumption buildings, renewable energy application buildings and prefabricated building will be included in the scope of carbon emission reduction preferential loans to help enterprises finance at a low cost.

Further reduce the financial burden on enterprises. The Measures require government agencies, public institutions, and state-owned enterprises to strictly implement the engineering advance payment system for investment projects. The engineering advance payment should not be less than 10% of the total contract price (excluding temporary amounts), and the payment proportion of the engineering progress payment should be increased to 85% of the completed project price. Clearly control the risk range of price fluctuations of main materials within ± 5% in bidding and construction contracts. Newly contracted housing and municipal projects with a construction period of more than 1 year must be settled through the construction process to shorten the settlement and payment cycle; Include the sources of construction funds, two-way guarantees, contract performance, and pre-sale funds for commercial housing in key regulatory areas to curb the default of project payments.

Deepen streamlining administration and delegating power, and further loosen the constraints on enterprises. Decentralize the right to review secondary qualifications in industries such as housing and construction, transportation, and water conservancy, support cross disciplinary integration and development of enterprises, and break industry qualification bottlenecks. Carry out credit evaluation in the construction market, comprehensively implement the "evaluation separation" model for bidding and tendering of real estate and municipal engineering, and promote pre qualification for projects with large investment and complex process technology to reduce bidding costs for trustworthy enterprises.

Promote green and intelligent construction

Industrialization, greening, and intelligence are the future trends in the development of the construction industry.

Continuously improving the quality of engineering construction. Promote the integration and development of digital economy and engineering construction, support the promotion and application of domestic BIM software, carry out new technology application demonstrations, and create more high-quality "Chutian Cup" projects.

Promote green construction. Encourage government investment projects to take the lead in adopting green building materials, and encourage cities and counties to provide financial subsidies for projects implementing star rated green buildings, ultra-low energy consumption buildings, and energy-saving renovation of existing buildings. The cost of implementing safety and civilized construction measures such as high standard green construction and dust prevention and control is included in the construction cost of the project.

Moving towards intelligent construction. For construction enterprises applying for intelligent construction research and development production land, they shall be coordinated and arranged in accordance with the preferential policies for industrial enterprise land supply. Encourage state-owned capital investment projects to adopt intelligent construction technologies such as "BIM (Building Information Model)+" digital integrated design, construction robots and intelligent equipment, intelligent production of component parts, and intelligent construction management. At the same time, we will leverage the advantages of the National Digital Construction Technology Innovation Center in our province to create an intelligent construction industry collaboration alliance.

Vigorously exploring markets outside the province and overseas

Encourage the "Hubei Construction" brand to go global and vigorously explore markets outside the province and overseas.

For example, exploring the establishment of construction enterprise service platforms in key areas such as the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, helping to connect with management departments from other provinces, and providing services in market access, personnel training, registration qualifications, and mutual recognition of job certificates.

For foreign contracted engineering projects of construction enterprises in our province, interest discounts will be provided to eligible domestic banks for medium and long-term loans; Provide subsidies for preliminary expenses such as legal, technical, business consulting fees, survey and investigation fees, safety assessment report preparation fees, and resource return transportation premiums; For overseas investment insurance premiums for overseas engineering projects of enterprises, a subsidy of 50% of the actual paid expenses will be provided, with a maximum of 4 million yuan for a single enterprise.

At the same time, for income obtained by enterprises from sources outside of China, the income tax amount already paid overseas shall be deducted from their current tax payable in accordance with the law. Support cities and counties to provide financial incentives to enterprises with annual operating revenue exceeding 100 million US dollars in overseas markets.
