3. Institutionalization of One-PMIS Use

Institutionalization of One-PMIS Use
How Seoul Has Done
- Recommends the use of One-PMIS for all of its construction projects
whose total budget exceeds KRW 20 million won, or about USD 18,000.
- Runs a monthly training program for its users and provides
user support through the operation of a call center,
offering remote support service and providing online manual service.
- Seoul has decided (in May 2016) to add a dedicated clause into
the “Special Conditions” section of its construction contracts,
making the use of One-PMIS mandatory for the contract-holders.

23. 22
Institutionalization of One-PMIS Use
Recommendation for other countries
- Enact a national law for the mandatory use of its own construction
management system as part of reform efforts.
- This would minimize the difficulties in the enforcement and
accelerate the implementation speed.
