. development plan for the construction indusiry in the next six years, The general objective ofthis industry plan is to provide a framework for the development of the construction industry hat will set the direction for all sectors concerned in order to maximize its contributions to the economy. Specifically, an assessment will be: made of past developments, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and_ threats by sector with the purpose of addressing, priority issues through the formulation of policies, strategies, programs and projects. This industry development plan is the first undertaking of its kind that will include the major sectors of the industry. It will attempt to integrate the various plans that have been prepared for the different sectors into a coherent whole. ‘The CIAP hopes that this plan will set the direction that policy-makers, planners and decision-makers in the government and the private sector will take to help maximize the contributions of the construction industry to the economy and to national development efforts. tis, also, expected that the plan will strengthen the coordinative linkages between the various sectors of the industry to improve the delivery and quality of its services to its ultimate client, the Filipino people. This industry development plan was formulated cver a period of more than two years through the active support and participation of various government agencies, professional associations and individuals who attended. the consultation meetings and workshops organized by the CAP for the purpose. ‘The need for an industry development plan was an idea which the CLAP has been contemplating even in its early years of creation, It was only last year, however, when all sectors concerned saw the importance of sitting together to address common issues and directions for the industry alongside the preparation of the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan for the Ramos administration. In addition to the inputs obtained from the consultation workshops, the plans commissioned by the Board of Investments (BOI) for the development of various construction materials such a8 cement and steel as well as the Construction Manpower Development Pian prepared by the Construction Manpower Development Foundation and the National Manpower and Youth Council (NMYC) were incorporated and integrated into the industry development plan. ‘The United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) has also prepared a ten-year plan for the development of the architectural profession simultaneous with this industry development plan, 3.0 ASSESSMENT OF PERFORMANCE 3.1 Contributions tothe: Economy ‘The recognition of the importance of the construction industry in economic srowth stems from two major reasons - first, the industry utilizes a sizeable amount of goods and services from other sectors of the economy.( backward linkages ); second, the desired scale of private investments cannot be sufficiéntly realized without the necessary infrastructure providing the stimulus for business activities ( multiplier effect ). As a purchaser of raw materials and services, the construction sector ranked first among eleven (11) industries, posting an index of dispersion of 1.2. ( Source :1985 Input-Output Accounts of the Philippines ), The industry, also, contributes around 9% of Gross Domestic Product, Construction output is induced primarily by investments (89.4% of total demand), unlike other sectors of the economy which register high consumption-induced growth paiterns ( from a low of 44.8% of the mining & quarrying sector output in 1985 to a high ~108-of 99.6% of demand for government services in the same period). ‘The construction industry, likewise, played a dominant role in the production of fixed assets or capital investment as it accounted for an average of 53% of gross fixed ‘capital formation in the last ten years. ‘The industries contribution to total national employment averaged 3.5% per year as it employed more than one million workers in the last year. Exports, on the other hand, account for only 4.2% of industry output despite the fact that’ the overseas construction market holds a lot of opportunities for Filipino constructors/consultants.in the past years, the highest total value of projects successfully completed by Filipino overscas constructors were in the areas of industrial plants and processes ( particularly desalination plants), roads, and buildings, Financial deficiencies, however, limit present overseas operations of Philippine construction firms to labor/manpower supply subcontracts that fail to show the full range of constructing capabilities. Only a few are able to bid as prime contractors. ‘There is very limited access to government guarantees as PHILGUARANTEE was granted only 295 million of its total budgetary requirements of 2900 million, 3.2 Public Investments in Infrastructure Development Despite the acknowledgement by the government of the importance of public sector investments in infrastructure in pump priming the economy and effecting continued economic growth, investments in infrastructure development has not been sustained. This is exemplified by the levels and trend of public sector's Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF). In 1980, real GFCF amounted to #29.8 billion . This, then, increased to #51.5 billion (the highest ever achieved) in 1983. After 1983, GFCF started to taper down until it reached the lowest level of # 19.2 billion in 1987, A slight acceleration in GRCF was registered from 1988 to 1991. In 1988 ,it totaled #20. billion and in 1991 it amounted to 228 billion, The low level of public sector's GFCF , particularly in 1986 to 1991, is attributed to the tight fiscal position of the government, the shift in government's funding priorities in favor of debt servicing, and the poor performance in the delivery of the 1987 ~ 1992 Medium - ‘Term Public Infrastructure Investment Program (PJIP)- a major component of GFCF.Contributory, also, to this is the non-continuity of the PHP; the program is co-terminus with the term of the presiding government administration. In 1980 up to 1983, the Utilities and Infrastructure sector got the biggest share of the National Government Expenditure Program (Obligation Basis) = from a low of 17.9% in 1982 toa high of 31.0% in 1980, or an annual average of 24.0%. In 1984, a shift in priorities in favor of debt servicing occurred. From a four year average of 13.9 % for the period 1980 - 1983, the percentage of national budget obligated to the Debt Servicing Fund soared to 41.7% in 1984 and, up till 1989, continued to receive an annual average of 40.2%. The share of the Utilities and Infrastruture Sector meanwhile was reduced substantially and averaged a measly 10.0% in 1984-1989, a far cry from the 24.0% recorded during the 1980 - 1983 period. During the period 1987-1992, the Program focused on the implementation of small scale, rural based projects and rehabilitation and maintenance of existing facilities to prolong its economic life, New construction were undertaken on a limited scale, -109-3.3. Consulting and Constructing Sector 3.31. 3.3.2. 3.3.3. Financial performance ‘The constructing sector started to generate net income in 1987 and managed to increase the same from 1988 and onwards with the expansion of the domestic market. I, however, incurred heavy losses from 1984 to 1986 ue to a deotine in demand, its inefficiency in the use of assets, and delays in the collection of receivables. ‘There is no available data on the financiat performance of the consulting sector. In one of the meetings of the sub-committees on the design sector, however, the participants agreed that the requirement of project owners to employ foreign consultants puts pressure on the operating costs of local entities since the high costs of hiring foreigners are bome by them, Compstiti In the domestic market, there is sufficient local technical capability in the construction of roads, bridges, irrigation a flood control systems, buildings, and ports, This capability, however, is concentrated in numerous small and medium firms with insufficient financial capability and track record for large projects, ‘There have, also, been complaints of poor quality of work and violation of specifications by constructors. ess Other problems affecting the local constructing sector involve the construction resource base: The high costs and shortages of construction inputs reflect an indifference to the need for over-all planning and coordination among the sectors concerned. Financial deficiencies limit present overseas operations of Fi constructors to labor/manpower supply contracts that fail to show the full range of contracting capabilities. The sector, also, faces unfair competition from labor recruiters in the export of construction manpower., ‘The strengths of the consulting sector are in the areas of structural and architectural design for buildings, roads & bridges, and irrigation systems. They are basically not competitive in power,energy, and electrification projects, There is, however, a disregard by some consultants and construction managers of design and construction quality standards. A perceived limited market for consuitancy has given rise to cut-throat competition among firms resulting in very low and unrealistic bids. Professionalism Efforts to improve the level of professionalism in the industry have been constantly pursued by both government and private entities. Substantial progress as been made in the formulation of professional codes of ethics and standard general conditions of contract for construction. Non-compliance with prescribed rules for professional conduct and a -110~reluctance to adopt fait general conditions of contract, however, have spawned problems in the bidding, award, and implementation of contracts. Contractual relationships in the industry are still mainly characterized by inequities and an imbalance of rights and obligations between contracting parties due to unfair ot one-sided contracts. Unethical practices continue to abound. The submission of incomplete and/or conflicting construction plans ‘by consultants has also been complained about 3.3.4, Social Responsibility Very little attention has been given to the effects of industry operations on the environment, public safety and convenience, and the welfare of construction project workers, ‘The minimum wastage of scarce and environmentally-critical materials, pollution control during the construction process, and the design of energy-efficient structures are major areas of concern in maintaining the ecological balance. The industry also needs to take a serious look into the enforcement of safety standards during construction, minimizing traffic congestion problems near the work site, and promoting public convenience at all times, The plight of construction project workers in terms of social security and other benefits should also be addressed. 4.0 CHALLENGES AND ISSUES The following are some of.the important challenges and issues that have beon identified as critical to the growth and development of the construction industry in the next six years: 4.1 Domestics Construction Investments (Infrastructure) = Limited government. funds for infrastructure devetopment ~ Inability of the private sector to fully participate in financing BOT/BT due to problems in RA 6957 = Uncoordinateq infrastructure development in specific areas/regions due to lack of sectoral coordination and the absence of integrated long-term physical plans for the area ~ Unbalanced regional/physical development due to lack of knowledge on the requirements of needs of a specific area ~ Long and tedious prequaificaion, bid and award procedure for project implementation “ ; = Lack of coordination among dgéncies in" the. implementation of infrastructure plans, programs and projects 4.2. Overseas Markets = Contraction ip traditional markets Such as the Middle East and severe competition from major labor supplier such as India, Pakistan, Banglresh and China = Limitations in access to new markets such as domestic preference schemes applied by host countries and innovations-in procurement policies = Lack of access and high cost of guarantees and other bonding requirements of international guarantors - Absence of tax incentives that has unduly affected competitive edge of Philippine contractors ’ ~ Lack of access to proper and timely inforiation regarding projects for bidding -1l-= Lack of expertise in project and logistics management 4,3 Contracting Sector = Various rules and regulations have limited the participation of contractors in the small and medium category = Non-compliance with prescribed rules for professional conduct and reluctance to adopt fair general conditions of contract = Incquities and imbalance of rights and obligations on both parties 4,4 Design and Consultancy Sector ~ Entry of foreign consultants in areas where there is sufficient local technical capabilities - Submission of incomplete and/or conflicting construction plans by consultants 4.5. Construction Materials = Shortage of supply and high cost of basic construction materials 4.6 Equipment ~ Expensive and limited supply of-equipment and spare parts 4.7 Manpower . ~ Decline in labor productivity levels of construction manpower & poor workmanship ~ Shortage of skilled manpower due to overseas deployment = Lack of protection for safety and welfare of project workers 4.8 Environment and Public Welfare ~ Wastage of scarce and environnientally critical materials ~ Enforcement of safety standards during construction = Minimizing traffic congestion and ensuring public convenience at construction sites 5.0 ,GOALS AND OBJECTIVES On the basis of the assessment of performance and the identification of challenges and issues confronting the industry in the next six years, a framework for development was drawn by t Various sub-committees for the formulation of an integrated plan with the following components: 5 62 Indiistry Vision - A Philippine construction industry that is highly competitive in the doméstic and oveseas markets, operating viably, independently of any government support, professionally and with a sense of social responsibility and ‘a major contributor to Philippine economic development and growth; In the next six years, developmerit activities to maximize the contribution of the industry to the économy will focus on ensuring the infrastructure support for national growth and strengthening the capabilities of the industries to implement projects in the domestic and overseas markets, ov. ‘ALL GOALS: 5.2.1 To accelerate and rationalize the development of the country's infrastructure in order to effectively support the country’s overall goal of A strong and sustained economic growth 5.2.2 To ensure the long-term viability of the consulting and constructing sector ‘of the industry to enable it to contribute to economic development and growth primarily in the provision of construction services for the -112-government and private sector and in the generation of investments, employment and foreign exchinge 5.3.
