2023, the Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. of a city in Liaoning Province issued a letter to all employees.
The Architectural Design and Research Institute announced that all employees will be on unpaid leave for a period of three months.
At the same time, it also points out the current crisis:
First, due to the impact of the real estate market, the external economic situation of the enterprise will continue to deteriorate, resulting in less and less project resources, sharp shrinkage of business volume, unable to maintain the normal expenditure of the enterprise.
Second, the competition in the same industry is becoming more and more fierce, resulting in more and more prices in many cases.
Third, the internal production costs of enterprises are increasing year by year, and the operating liabilities of enterprises are increasing, which leads to the failure of normal operation.
The Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. is a Class a design enterprise in the construction industry. Since its establishment in 1952, it has been operating for more than 70 years. This scientific research and design enterprise, which has made great contributions to the local economic and social development, is now in a downturn.
According to the digital building materials DataBM. Com, the prefecture-level city architectural design Institute belongs to the medium-sized old architectural design Institute, the company's annual report in 2022 shows that it has 54 insured employees, with the construction industry (construction engineering) a level design qualification, geotechnical engineering professional (geotechnical engineering survey (survey)) B level survey qualification. The situation of architectural design institutes all over
the country is not optimistic, and the future development of the architectural design industry is worrying. On June 28,
2023, a Shanghai Architectural Design Institute Co., Ltd.
The notice shows that due to the impact of the environment, the company's business has declined significantly, the operation is difficult, and there is no new design project to be completed at this stage. The company's management has decided that from June 29, 2023, all employees will stop production for three months, and the company will contact everyone to resume work in advance after the implementation of the project. The company was forced to make the decision to stop production, please understand!
According to a number of information published on the Internet, the design qualification of the architectural design Institute is Grade A of construction engineering. The design Institute has 12 registered survey and design engineers, including 4 registered architects, 4 registered first-class structural engineers, as well as water supply and drainage, equipment and other practicing engineers. The annual report of 2022 shows that more than 40 people have paid social security, which shows that it is a medium-sized veteran design Institute mainly engaged in architectural engineering design.
Now issued such an announcement, all employees suspended pay, shutdown, shutdown for three months, the company's leadership will not issue such an announcement unless absolutely necessary.
"The rise and fall of design institutes are closely related to real estate enterprises.". In the golden age of the construction industry, because the market cake is very big, there are many projects, and the competition is small, the design Institute is in an absolute dominant position, and the design cost of the project is very considerable in terms of the wage level at that time. There has been a saying that design institutes "buy cars in three years and buy houses in five years", but at present, a large number of housing enterprises in China have more debts, tight funds, less land and fewer projects, so there are only a handful of projects that can be given to design institutes. With the passing of the era of real estate increment, the dividends of the past have disappeared, and the architectural design industry is really going from bad to worse. An industry insider confessed. Among the 144 sample real estate enterprises in China in
2022, 76 are in a state of loss, and 35 are in a state of continuous loss; 105 of the 144 real estate enterprises have a decline in net profit, and 55 of them have a decline of more than 10%, of which 12 have a decline of more than 100%. In particular, private housing enterprises have more debts, tight funds, less land and fewer projects, so there are only a handful of projects that can be given to design institutes. Enterprises like Poly, China Resources and Zhonghai can not receive business from general design institutes, so small and medium-sized design institutes, in the case of shrinking business, shutdown, shutdown, layoffs, salary cuts, or even dissolution or cancellation of the company, have become a normal phenomenon in the industry. In an interview with the China Times, a person from a construction consulting agency said.
