epc general contracting qualification requirements

The qualification management system for construction activities is the basic system stipulated in China's Construction Law. For the project general contracting qualification, although the "design unit to carry out general contracting qualification management of the relevant provisions" (Construction [1992] No. 805) gives clear provisions. However, after the promulgation of the Ministry of Construction's Guiding Opinions on Cultivating and Developing General Contracting and Project Management Enterprises (Construction [2003] No. 30), the Relevant Provisions on the Administration of Qualifications for Design Units to Perform General Contracting of Projects were repealed. No new provisions relating to the qualification of general contracting have yet been seen to be issued. In this case, the reality of economic activities, general contractors engaged in EPC general contracting should have the qualification, should have what kind of qualification, that has become a focus of controversy.

EPC general contracting qualification requirements must have the following conditions:

1, the enterprise credit capacity, including good faith evaluation of the good rate;

2, the enterprise's key management personnel and professional and technical personnel requirements, competent general contracting project needs;

3, the level of scientific and technological progress in the industry to have a leading (at least moderately so, right);

4, on behalf of the project performance, from small to large, from simple to difficult, and gradually improve the underwriting capacity;

5, the scope of business and the scope of contracting in line.
