ナックスデザイン株式会社

Nax Design Corporation was found to have assigned individuals who did not meet qualification requirements as site managers in two private construction projects within Fukuoka Prefecture from 2020 to 2022. The company also contracted with three entities operating without the necessary construction permits and exceeded the scope of minor construction work as defined by law, without obtaining the required authorization. As a result, Fukuoka Prefecture issued a business suspension order for private construction activities from November 10 to December 11, 2022, totaling 32 days.

Nax Design Corporation was instructed by Fukuoka Prefecture for failing to notify within 30 days of changing its main office location on March 1, 2022. The company also did not report within two weeks the change of its dedicated technical engineer and the resulting non-compliance with standards under Articles 7(2) and 15(2)(i) of the Construction Business Act. Additionally, it did not report within 30 days the emergence of non-permitted business activities following these changes. Furthermore, in FY 2021, the company undertook civil engineering work exceeding the scope of minor construction work as defined in Enforcement Order of the Construction Business Act, despite lacking the necessary permits for such work. The prefecture's directive includes measures such as immediate staff notification, compliance with relevant laws, training, proper signage at business locations, and reporting of actions taken.
