| Summary | Hiji Construction Co., Ltd. was contracted for five construction projects with Ehime Prefecture, where the contract amounts exceeded the limit set by Article 27, Paragraph 1 of the Enforcement Order of the Construction Business Act. Instead of appointing a dedicated chief engineer for each project, the company assigned the site engineer from its office as the chief engineer for these projects. This constitutes a violation of Article 26, Paragraph 3 of the Construction Business Act. The prefectural government issued an instruction under Article 28, Paragraph 1 of the Act, requiring the company to promptly disseminate the details of the violation among staff, establish proper internal management systems to ensure correct placement of technical personnel and site managers, and to report these measures in writing. The instruction was issued on December 22, 2021, and the company's main office is located in Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture. |
