It appears that a new approach to setting construction schedules needs to be introduced, taking into account the construction constraints around obtaining dedicated days off for construction work. The government's construction and maintenance department has begun setting construction schedules that take into account the number of workdays caused by intense heat, and it is hoped that this way of thinking will become widespread.
Sojiro Akizuki, Chief Cabinet Secretary, Director General of the Cabinet Office, who attended the joint meeting, said that in order to reform the way the construction industry operates, efforts are being made to standardize the timing. construction time, using technology to improve productivity, reduce construction time - related documents and provide appropriate estimated prices.
