Will the speed of national housing construction increase? – Tejarat News

According to Tejarat News, according to the latest report of the Statistics Center of Iran on the expenditure and income of urban and rural households, the share of housing, fuel and lighting in the total expenditure of urban households has reached 38.1%, which is an increase of 2.1% compared to last year. has done. Although these days the housing market is suffering from an inflationary recession, but the housing sector can definitely provide high employment opportunities and mobility in most economic sectors by coming out of the recession.

Experts in housing economics believe that if we want to search for the reason for the high share of housing in the total costs of urban households, it should be stated that the reason for this increase is the decrease in the number of constructions in the 90s, unprecedented housing inflation and finally the growth of general inflation.

Of course, the previous government’s inattention to housing construction and not completing Mehr housing units caused the number of constructions in the country to decrease to a great extent. As the number of built units increased from one million and 200 thousand units in 2009 to 320 thousand units in 2016.

This factor, along with the increase in general inflation and the increase in currency prices, has finally caused households to spend a large part of their income on providing housing. That is, even though people have spent a larger share of their income on providing housing, at the same time, their quality has decreased and they have moved towards smaller houses in lower areas of the city.

Every year, the share of housing costs in the household consumption basket increases and people have to skip other expenses in order to have shelter according to their needs. Naturally, buying property and owning a house is much more expensive and in some areas it has become an almost unattainable dream.

In a situation where the share of housing costs in the household consumption basket increases every year and people have to skip other expenses in order to have shelter according to their needs, naturally, buying property and owning a house is much more expensive and in some areas, it has become an almost unattainable dream. .

According to Article 31 of the Constitution, “Having housing that fits the needs is the right of every Iranian individual and family.” The government is obliged to give priority to those who are most in need, especially the villagers and workers, to implement this principle.

These days, the 13th government is trying in different ways to advance the national housing project as fast as possible so that it can partially compensate for this lag in the supply and demand side.

Is there a special plan to speed up the national housing project?

Arslan Maliki, Deputy Minister of Roads and Urban Development and Head of the National Land and Housing Organization, in response to the question, “Is there a special plan to speed up the national housing project?” He says: In the meeting held last week by mass builders with the Minister of Roads and Urban Development, it was decided to strengthen the presence of the private sector in housing production alongside the government with suitable methods.

Maliki said: “In order to speed up the national housing, we need more participation of the private sector and people’s participation in boosting the housing production market.” For this purpose, concluding a contract with mass builders, handing it over to the people, and the cooperative method between the people and the mass builders is a new method that has been notified.

Emphasis of the 13th government on housing construction

He said that the 13th government emphasized housing construction from the very beginning and continued: In order to speed up the national housing, we need more participation of the private sector and people’s participation in boosting the housing production market. For this purpose, concluding a contract with mass builders, handing over to the people, and the collaborative method between the people and the mass builders is a new method for which the instructions have been announced.

Pointing out that we have predicted different models for the participation of banks and investors, which will depend on the other parties, Maliki emphasized: Our effort is to speed up the national housing, so we will proceed with any model of investors.

One of the models brings the people and bank facilities and builder’s share to implement the project and finally the amount of the investor from the built units, which will determine how many residential units will be available to them.

The CEO of the National Land and Housing Organization continued: One of the models is to bring people, bank facilities, and builder’s share to implement the project, and finally, the amount of the investor from the built units, which will determine how many residential units will be available to them.

It seems that the 13th government is trying to use this method to bring in both mass builders and the private sector, who have adequate liquidity and financial resources, as well as high expertise in managing large projects, in order to be able to implement the national housing project as quickly as possible. The program is somewhat behind to operate and deliver.

Even Mehrdad Bazarpash, the Minister of Roads and Urban Development, said in a meeting with mass builders that in the housing production sector, we need more participation of the private sector and mass builders in order to speed up and facilitate the construction, so it is planned to have the private sector participate in housing production with suitable methods. Be strengthened with the government.

These statements show that the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development is trying to use the experiences of Mehr Housing in the national housing industry and promote housing production with legal tools and establishing the necessary regulations in cooperation with the Parliament and other government bodies.

Statistics show that more than one million and 550 thousand residential units of the National Movement are being built, so if the government intends to put these residential units into operation as soon as possible, there is no other choice but to go to new methods and invite the bank. It does not have mass builders.

Statistics show that more than one million and 550 thousand residential units of the National Movement are being built, which are in different stages. Therefore, if the government intends to put these residential units into operation as soon as possible, it has no choice but to go towards new methods and invite banks and builders.

As the Deputy Minister of Roads and Urban Development and the responsible officials of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development have informed, it is planned that the land will be given to mass builders for the production of housing, and the mass builders will be responsible for a part of the housing production for the national movement.

But Shahab Saadatnejad, a member of the board of directors of the Tehran Mass Builders Association, has a different belief and says that as long as the issuance of permits is not facilitated and construction permits are not removed, we cannot be happy about the land being taken over.

Saadatnejad said: “The government’s plan is to build one million housing units annually, and since the first days of this plan, we have repeatedly announced that mass builders and the private sector should also play in this plan.”

In response to the question, will mass builders welcome the new models of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development to speed up the national housing project? He said: The government’s plan is to build one million housing units annually, and since the first days of this plan, we have repeatedly announced that mass builders and the private sector should also play in this plan. Because mass builders have experience like Mehr housing and can be the help of the government.

What is the best way to build housing?

The best way to build housing is to trust the private sector and mass builders, but it will not be possible to hand over suitable land to them without quickly issuing permits.

He continued: “On the same days when the national housing scheme was introduced, we announced that the best way to build housing is to trust the private sector and mass builders, but it will not be possible to hand over suitable land to them without quickly issuing permits.” Therefore, in the meeting we had with the Minister of Roads and Urban Development, we pointed out that one of the obstacles to the complete implementation of the national movement plan is the severe bureaucracy in issuing permits and licenses related to construction, which takes up to a year in some provinces.

Considering that we have more than 40,000 Mehr housing units remaining in the country and currently 1,550,000 National Movement housing units are being built, the government will have a hard time speeding up and completing the Mehr and National housing units. . However, the fact that new methods have been defined for the development of housing production and the acceleration of the national housing project should be taken as a good omen and we should wait and see if the national housing project can enter the market in these days when housing prices have not yet increased. Does the price prevent or not?
