Today's Civil Engineering Is All About Scores: The Reality of the Evaluation System

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Status of the Last Layering

There’s a job called “las-patching,” but,

Well, it’s one of those types of construction work that even people outside the slope stabilization industry are pretty familiar with. I think I’ve written about what this means before.

The Meaning of "Las-Pari-Ko"

Well, this is just common sense, but I've been using the spacers I introduced earlier quite a bit lately.

The reason we use it is that it goes over well with government officials.

So, do you get a higher score if you use the stuff that the government says is "the best"? lol Is it easier to get a good evaluation that way?

I’ve mentioned this before, but,

This is another Netis product; it offers excellent visibility on-site and has received high praise from government agencies.

After all, since the general contractor also uses Netis products supplied by subcontractors, isn't it easier for them to be evaluated?

(Since it’s a Netis product, if you tell the general contractor to include it as a creative solution, there’s a chance they’ll increase the number of items.)

Netis products are basically the same, but I feel like the ones I've actually used get higher ratings. (Though I'm not sure if they'll definitely be rated highly??)

As new technologies are developed, adopted, and proven effective, their use will continue to grow.

Furthermore, using Netis products will improve your standing with government agencies.
(I think so. I’m not entirely sure, since I’ve recently stopped working as a prime contractor for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.)

 

Even among section chiefs at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, there are some who are real internet enthusiasts!

It was as if it were saying, “Why aren’t you using Netis products!?” (This really happened, lol)

Speaking of that branch office’s outsourced construction management, they keep asking, “Isn’t there a Netis-registered construction method that uses a similar technique?”...

A construction manager with absolutely no authority says whatever he wants, and sometimes even installing Netis products doesn't count toward the score.

 

There's nothing wrong with using new technology, but since it involves certain costs and trade-offs, we're cautious about adopting it.

That said, I love trying new things, so there are quite a few things I’d like to give a try.

 

Trying new things is very risky, but on the other hand, it also has many benefits.

The main benefit is, quite simply, the score.

From a director's perspective, it's inevitable that one's attention is drawn to the rating scores.

Actually, in the director’s view, public reputation carries more weight than the company’s profits.

Director's Evaluation

If anything, I think it’s fair to say that getting a high score should be the top priority.

They give higher scores for novelty rather than workability. (Especially if no one else is using it.)

This is no longer a matter that can be dismissed simply because a craftsman says, “I don’t want to use this product because it’s difficult to work with.”

 

The reason we focus so much on the scores here is that a high technical evaluation score gives us a significant advantage in the next bidding round.

For example, if you announce before the bid that you will assign an engineer with a high technical evaluation score to the XX site, your score will go up.

Just by doing that, you'll start to pull ahead of your competitors.

The winning bid price for a single item can vary by as much as 1 million or 2 million.

This means it will be easier to win the bid.

What's more, when a completed project site receives an award, the company's score goes up again.

These ratings may vary by region, but they’re maintained for about three years—as a top-rated construction company!

This means you can win the bid on even better terms.

Bid | Successful Bid

When I think that even something as trivial as laying the final layer, as mentioned above, could lead to that kind of discussion,

It’s a little scary, but that’s just the reality of civil engineering these days, isn’t it?

It's nonsense to use something just because it's cheap.That's what it means.

 

In any case, we need to make sure that even when working as a subcontractor, the prime contractor can still earn points. I think this is incredibly important.

By doing so, we can bothA Win-Win RelationshipBecome one, and maybe your commission will go up??? lol

That said, there’s a labor shortage right now, so labor costs are skyrocketing.

However, the more new things you try, the more your skills will improve by leaps and bounds!

 

See you later.
