Maoming City, Guangdong Province will build a 100 billion-level construction industry cluster!

At the intersection of Baomao Avenue and Huanshi East Road, the Dianbai District Construction Industry Headquarters Base Project led by the Maoming Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government is under construction. After the project is completed, two twin-star landmark buildings will be erected here, which will be integrated into a construction industry headquarters cluster integrating office, business, finance, scientific research, training, smart construction, and cultural tourism.

This is a powerful measure that Maoming is committed to promoting the high-quality development of the construction industry. It is a solid step on the road of creating a high-quality development pilot area for the construction industry in Guangdong Province and building an integrated technology innovation base for the low-carbon construction industry in Guangdong Province.

The construction industry has become a veritable pillar industry, an advantageous industry and an industry that enriches the people in Maoming. In 2021, the city's construction enterprises will exceed 1,000, reaching 1,033, an increase of 295 over 2020, an increase of 40%; the city's total construction industry output value is 122.82 billion yuan, an increase of 19.8%.

Leading the development of the construction industry from a high starting point

The Maoming construction industry originated from the establishment of the first Dianbai construction engineering team in the early 1950s. After more than 70 years of development, the construction industry has become an important pillar industry. In 2016, Dianbai District was awarded the "Hometown of Architecture in China" by the China Construction Industry Association, becoming the first district in Guangdong Province to receive this honor.

At present, there are nearly 150,000 construction workers in Maoming's construction industry, forming a market development pattern with the Pearl River Delta as the center and the Yangtze River Delta, Beibu Gulf, Yun, Gui, Qiong and other markets as the focus, and radiating to the whole country. The footprints are all over more than 20 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) such as Hainan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, North, Shanghai, etc., and the output value of outbound construction accounts for more than 90% of the total output value of the city's construction industry.

In recent years, the municipal party committee and the municipal government have attached great importance to the development of the construction industry, and organized a symposium for outbound construction enterprises every year. The main leaders of the city regularly visit and investigate construction enterprises to understand the production and operation status of the enterprises and the problems that need to be solved.
