Whether you are building a manufacturing plant, a petrochemical
plant or just fitting out an office, local rules and local
authorities can play a significant role in your project. Local
regulations and practice varies widely, from designer and
contractor qualifications to requirements for building completion.
Finding the right contractors for design and construction can make
the difference in completing on time and on budget.
Here are some tips to avoid common pitfalls:
1. Ensure the designer and contractor are licensed to
undertake the scope and scale of the project
A significant pitfall to avoid when engaging in a construction
project in China is to ensure the design firm and contractor are
qualified for the project. PRC law strictly regulates entities
which undertake domestic construction projects. Before engaging in
design and construction activities, an entity must be sufficiently
licensed. The services to be provided must not exceed the scope of
the license.
