Mokuzo Hi-Jukyo Suishin Kiko Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative: Masaki Fukuhara) has launched the "Craft United Initiative," a network that introduces non-residential construction projects such as warehouses and factories to construction companies nationwide. This initiative aims to provide a mechanism that allows even housing-focused construction companies to enter the non-residential wooden construction market.
■Market Background
Japan's housing market is in a long-term shrinking trend due to population decline. On the other hand, demand is expanding in non-residential construction fields such as logistics facilities, factories, and stores.
Especially in recent years, with environmental considerations and soaring construction costs as a backdrop, the use of wooden construction, not just steel-frame construction, is attracting attention.
However, many regional construction companies are not entering the market due to reasons such as:
* Not knowing how to sell non-residential construction
* Lack of expertise in design and structure
* No project information coming in
* Anxiety about handling large-scale projects
* Not knowing where to start
* Lack of time and personnel for sales
This is the current situation where entry is not progressing.
■What is the Craft United Initiative
The Craft United Initiative is a network for regional construction companies to collaborate and challenge the non-residential wooden construction market. It utilizes "Low Cost Kobo," a specialized customer acquisition platform for non-residential wooden construction, to introduce (refer) construction project information nationwide, such as warehouses and factories, to member companies.
This allows housing-focused construction companies to take on non-residential construction projects without increasing their sales burden.
■Features of the Network
The Craft United Initiative provides the following mechanisms:
* Introduction of non-residential construction projects such as warehouses, factories, stores, and offices.
* Sharing of know-how for non-residential wooden construction.
* Full support in specialized areas such as design, application, and structure.
* Formation of a nationwide network among construction companies.
Through this, regional construction companies can develop new markets in collaboration.
■Future Development
The Craft United Initiative aims to build a network of 150 construction companies nationwide over the next 5 years.
By regional construction companies taking the lead and carving out the non-residential wooden construction market, we will create new possibilities in Japan's construction industry.
■ Information Session Announcement
The Craft United Initiative is holding information sessions for construction companies. The sessions will explain the following:
* The future of the housing market
* The potential of the non-residential wooden construction market
* How to acquire non-residential projects
* The mechanism of the Craft United Initiative
Participation Fee: Free
Method of Holding: Online
■ More Information
We launched the Craft United Initiative as a system for local builders to collaborate and challenge new markets. We hope to build a new future of construction, with regional builders at the forefront, together with all of you.
