Gyeonggi Province Publishes '2020 Apartment Quality Inspection Case Study'

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun Reporter] As Gyeonggi Province operates an apartment quality inspection team in which experts visit multi-family housing before occupancy to inspect construction sites, the province has published the '2020 Gyeonggi Province Apartment Quality Inspection Case Study' to enable construction work based on excellent cases.

The case study was produced primarily with field photos to make the apartment quality inspection system introduction and past issues and excellent cases easy to understand, enabling not only contractors and supervisors but also residents to utilize it.

This case study will distribute approximately 630 copies to construction sites through city and county apartment-related departments, and approximately 200 copies will be distributed separately upon request from construction professionals. Additionally, the province plans to post it on the Gyeonggi Province Government website's 'Gyeonggi Province E-Book' (ebook.gg.go.kr) so that anyone can easily access and actively utilize it.

Gyeonggi Province first introduced a quality inspection system nationwide in 2006 to improve the quality of multi-family housing and to construct comfortable and sound apartments, and has been operating the 'Gyeonggi Province Apartment Quality Inspection Team' since 2007.

Over the past 13 years, field inspections have been conducted on a total of 1,936 apartment complexes. Specialized committee members from each sector visit construction sites and carefully inspect defects and poor construction practices in specialized fields such as electrical, equipment, and fire safety that residents find difficult to understand. The province is working to prevent disputes between apartment-related personnel and residents and improve housing quality, and it has been found that the satisfaction level of future residents is very high.

Shin Wook-ho, Director of the Multi-family Housing Division, said, "At apartment construction sites, cases of excellent construction practices are being applied, or supplementary construction is conducted for the same issues, so inquiries about obtaining Gyeonggi Province case studies are increasing," and "We expect this year's case study to be actively utilized at construction sites and contribute greatly to improving apartment quality."
