Policy makers and citizens worked together to find

a systematic solution to the problems of shoddy construction.

3. Institutionalization of One-PMIS Use

21

Institutionalization of One-PMIS Use

How Seoul Has Done

- Recommends the use of One-PMIS for all of its construction projects

whose total budget exceeds KRW 20 million won, or about USD 18,000.

- Runs a monthly training program for its users and provides

user support through the operation of a call center,

offering remote support service and providing online manual service.

- Seoul has decided (in May 2016) to add a dedicated clause into

the “Special Conditions” section of its construction contracts,

making the use of One-PMIS mandatory for the contract-holders.

22

Institutionalization of One-PMIS Use

Recommendation for other countries

- Enact a national law for the mandatory use of its own construction

management system as part of reform efforts.

- This would minimize the difficulties in the enforcement and

accelerate the implementation speed.
