Summary · why it matters

The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has issued a notice to strengthen construction market regulation across five areas: market access, project bidding, contract awarding and subcontracting, project payment, and digital-intelligent oversight, accelerating the establishment of a mechanism featuring easy entry, strict supervision, and heavy penalties. The notice calls for separating bid evaluation from contract awarding and implementing double-blind review, fully rolling out project payment guarantees and encouraging the use of surety insurance or bank guarantees to achieve payment on demand, as well as leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance regulatory efficiency. Meanwhile, amid the real estate sector adjustment and construction industry downturn, local construction companies are facing a major earnings test. In 2025, the net profit attributable to shareholders of companies in the Shenwan construction sector fell 23.42 percent year-on-year, with local builders seeing a decline of 34.97 percent. Several local state-owned enterprises, including Shaanxi Construction Engineering Group, Tagen Group, and Chongqing Construction Engineering Group, are expected to report sharp profit declines or losses in the first half of the year.
