In the general trend of Chinese construction companies "going out" to participate in the international construction market competition, they are an "important window" from which they have insights into the forge ahead of Chinese construction companies to participate in the international construction market competition.
A few days ago, the top ten "Most Beautiful Builders" in Zhejiang Province in 2021 were officially announced, and the management team of Zhejiang Construction Group Huaying Construction Co., Ltd. won the title of "The Most Beautiful Builders" in Zhejiang Province in 2021.
Pathfinder International Market
In 2001, the "Outline of the Tenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" clearly stated that "the implementation of the strategy of going global" has enabled more and more Chinese enterprises to go abroad, and the forms of foreign investment, foreign contracted projects, and foreign labor cooperation have been rapid. With development, Chinese companies frequently appear all over the world.
As one of the pathfinders, Zhejian Group explored the Hong Kong market as early as 1999, hoping to use it as a bridge between overseas business and domestic connections.
"The construction industry is a very localized industry. You need to adapt to local laws, regulations, and habits. Most of the workers, suppliers, and clients you contact are local. This requires us to fully integrate with local culture when exploring the way. ." said Guan Manyu, chairman of Huaying Construction Co., Ltd.
Although Zhejian Group has very high special qualifications in the construction industry, various business licenses and good business reputation in mainland China, when it comes to Hong Kong, the basis for bidding and bidding for licenses and qualifications must be re-"struck". The contract system, The building standard system, approval process, etc. must be re-adapted.
"As a foreign company, it is still relatively difficult for us to establish our position in the construction industry in Hong Kong." Guan Manyu said frankly.
In order to be more localized, in 2014, Zhejian Group acquired China Resources Construction Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Resources Construction"), a local construction company in Hong Kong, and officially changed its name to Huaying Construction Co., Ltd.
Zhejian Group's overseas market expansion has a new starting point for development.
Huaying Construction has absorbed the control system and quality system deposited by Zhejiang Construction Group. China Resources Construction has provided a localized team, qualifications and experience. The effect of "1+1>2" is reflected in Huaying Construction.
Huaying Construction successively undertook projects such as China Unicom (Global) data center project, residential development project platform and superstructure project in the second and third districts of Kwun Tong city center, and No. 38 hotel in Tung Chung area, and developed Sino, Yangtze River, Jiaxing Hong Kong’s mainstream real estate market such as Li, Far East, etc., continue to increase their market share in the increasingly competitive Hong Kong market.
As Huaying Construction has grown into Hong Kong’s forefront housing construction general contractor, with 36 projects under construction and more than 700 management personnel, Hong Kong, the "Pearl of the Orient", has become the second tens of billions market of Zhejiang Construction Group. It has created the overseas "golden name card" of Zhejiang Architecture.
In 2019, Huaying Construction Group Holdings Co., Ltd. was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the first overseas listing of Zhejiang state-owned enterprises' overseas assets; during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, Huaying Construction's cumulative contract value and operating income both exceeded 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Under the new development pattern of "dual cycle", China Zhejiang Construction Group (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., the parent company of Huaying Construction, once again "departed" from Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong and set its sights overseas.
"In the past two years, we have newly opened up the construction market in Malaysia, the United Kingdom and other countries, and are constantly expanding new growth points in overseas markets." Guan Manyu said.
Integrated development road
Changes in economic growth, the continuous advancement of digital reforms, and the transformation of construction service methods all pose new challenges to the development of the construction industry.
How can Huaying Construction, which is in the tide of competition in the international construction market, be competitive?
"In the construction industry, it's just to see who is more serious and more steadfast." Summarizing the achievements of Huaying Construction, Guan Manyu said that one relies on system, second on implementation, and third on innovation.
The word "seriously" can be seen in the Hennessy No. 1 project that won the National Quality Engineering Award (Overseas Project).
Hennessy One was also selected as one of the top ten landmarks in Asia by "World Architecture".
The Hennessy No. 1 project is located in the core area of Wan Chai in the heart of Hong Kong. The location is small and the surrounding road system and urban texture are also very complicated.
In addition, the project itself is a funnel-shaped anti-gravity design at the bottom, which shows the concept of symmetry, verticality and anti-gravity in architecture to the extreme. The original design also greatly increases the difficulty of construction.
"In the early stage of construction, we made full use of BIM (Building Information Electronic Information Modeling System) technology to simulate repeatedly, effectively predict potential risk factors, and continuously optimize the construction plan, so that the project can be carried out smoothly." Guan Manyu said, the construction plan is reasonable The flexibility and operability also ensure the on-site construction and project quality.
Plan ahead, implementation still needs to be down-to-earth.
Guan Manyu said that as a member of the group, Zhejian Group's mature management system and quality system provide a lot of reference for Huaying Construction.
Before the implementation of each project, Huaying Construction requires that the management requirements and quality requirements of the project must be understood from the company headquarters to the project department. In some special links, it has been "confessed" before the construction, and the project has been discussed. Tackling key problems.
"We will implement the company's systems and requirements to the'frontline', including workers' daily work and required work attitudes." Guan Manyu introduced.
In addition, Huaying Construction has set up a special quality department, quality inspection team and quality management committee to regularly inspect the project, rectify problems, and formulate a quality manual for the project to ensure that the company's requirements are implemented at the most basic level.
The achievements of the digital reform are also implemented in Huaying Construction.
The digital monitoring system developed by Huaying Construction in recent years has also empowered project supervision and quality monitoring.
Guan Manyu said that employees at the front line of the project can push the problem to the relevant person in charge through the APP, and the system will automatically record the problem after the person in charge solves the problem.
“We use big data to analyze every project and every type of work, infer possible quality problems, and take precautions before they happen.”
Carving brick by brick, showing ingenuity by foot and inch, intensive cultivation has finally achieved fruitful results.
China Unicom (Global) Data Center Project and Hennessy No. 1 Project won Zhejiang Province’s first China Construction Project Luban Award (overseas project) and the National Quality Project Award (overseas project) for Zhejiang Construction Group, realizing Zhejiang’s two major projects in overseas engineering. A breakthrough in the "zero" national architectural awards; Huaying Construction has also successively won more than 20 various awards issued by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Engineering (CABE) and the Australian Institute of Architects (AIB)...
Facing the future, Guan Manyu said, first do what you have at hand, and build the "golden sign" of Huaying Construction through each project. On this basis, the management team will make a fuss about the breadth and depth. Exploring a wider market and having more diversified integration with the local area will provide more experience for Chinese construction companies to "go global"."
It is reported that the Top Ten "Most Beautiful Builders" tree selection event in Zhejiang Province in 2021 was hosted by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and undertaken by the Zhejiang Branch of China News Service.
