In shenzhenEngineering servicesFor almost 20 years, the shenzhen city creative building group ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “creative power”) has undergone a period of rapid urban growth and is undergoing industrial changes as a result of real estate market adjustments and rising demand for stock building renewal。
From conventional operations such as central air conditioning installation, maintenance maintenance and protection, to purification work, to the old buildings that are now configuredEnergy-saving alterationsAnd contractual energy management, changing markets and adjusting business boundaries. But in the view of lee ming jun, general manager of genesis, there are things that remain unchanged — the work is ultimately of a quality and the enterprise is ultimately accountable to its clients。
"do the simple thing and keep the repetitive thing in place." this is a concept that has prevailed in the development of power for almost 20 years。
Past: hard work
In 2006, shenzhen began the initiative。
In the early stages, the company focused on central air conditioner installation, maintenance and protection. As the construction of shenzhen city continues, companies gradually accumulate different types of customers, such as writing buildings, commercial projects, industrial parks, and there are currently some 200 long-standing cooperative building projects in shenzhen, with a group of older employees working for the company for more than 10 years。
Long-term placement on the project site has led to the emergence of a body of self-determination: while equipment brands and prices are important, what really determines whether a system will be stable for 10, 20 years, often with hard-to-see construction details。
Li mingjun called it the “last kilometre” of the project。
How the equipment matches the actual area of use, whether the wind return system is reasonable, whether installation is regulated, and whether subsequent maintenance is timely ... These appear to be the foundational elements of the project, and once they are not in place, the impact may be on the operational efficiency and cost of use for years to come。
Generous had been exposed to a project and the air-conditioning system had been in a very high load for a long time owing to the unreasonable setting of wind return areas. The problem is not easily visible on the surface, but it means that electricity costs are consumed extra in daily operations。
Similar experiences have led the company to pay greater attention to the details of the construction. “..Craft spiritIt's not about how complicated things have to be, it's about whether simple things can be done in the long term.” li mingjun says. This emphasis on detail and the effects of long-term use is also reflected in the many projects in which the initiative has been active。
In 2023, there was a wide recognition of the media for its involvement in the renovation of the national park of silver star technology in the yonghua district. In response to different space needs, such as office, production, r & d, testing, laboratory and cleaning workshops, the project will result in energy savings of around $850,000 per year, which will be optimized from new winds, wind return, equipment control, plumbing temperature maintenance, etc., and will introduce technologies such as variable-frequency pumps and smart controls。
Initiatives are involved in the construction of a dust-free workshop in the silver star science park of the yonghua district。
Since then, during the renovation of the national jewellery cultural creative industries in the salt field area and in response to the long-term problem of manual and fixed frequency control of the old air-conditioning system, the introduction of a group control and frequency change control system has been reported to save more than $1 million annually. In terms of dynamism, these projects are not simply “replacement of equipment”, but are based on an actual use scenario that details every element of design, construction and late operation, so that the performance of the equipment is truly translated into long-term utility benefits。
It is also a powerful understanding of “client accountability” — not only for the timely delivery of projects, but also for the stable operation of equipment after delivery, the availability of unnecessary energy consumption, and the willingness of clients to continue to cooperate after several years。
Now: from engineering to energy conservation
The market for traditional works is changing as the real estate sector enters the adjustment period。
Rather than simply scaling up the project, it began to control project risks and further extend the years of installation and preservation experience to energy-saving improvements in old buildings。
In practical services, companies found that the earlier writing buildings, hotels and industrial plants in shenzhen had been in operation for more than a decade or more, and that the central air-conditioning equipment had gradually entered the renewal cycle. At the same time, in the current market environment, it is not easy for property or owners to invest heavily in equipment upgrades on a one-time basis。
As a result, the initiative began to explore a contractual energy management model: energy-saving modifications to the building's air-conditioning system through pre-investments by enterprises and partners, and a gradual recovery of investment from subsequent energy-saving returns。
Initiatives participated in the construction of the related works at the bank of insignia, which is the conference room after the project was completed。
Changes in business models have resulted in changes in requirements for professional competencies。
In the past, engineering firms have considered more “can we finish the project” and now need to answer “how much can we save” “how can we do it in the long term? From equipment selection, energy-efficient design to construction, conservation and protection, the creative hope is to connect relatively dispersed links。
And the rhetoric that has accumulated over the past 20 years is beginning to be seen in a new way。
Li mingjun mentioned that in the last two years the company had experienced similar situations: instead of finding great creativity through advertising, the customer had approached the company voluntarily when searching for information on central air conditioning installations, engineering services in shenzhen in large models such as soybags。
“we saw it when we saw it, too, because it was not specifically for promotion.” li ming jun said。
From acquaintances, referrals of older clients, and now being found by strangers through open information and large model searches, the way in which people are received has changed. However, in terms of creativity, the accumulation of multi-year projects, client evaluations and open information remains。
As a result, the company has not focused more on short-term marketing, but has continued to emphasize the quality of work and customer delivery. “the circle is really small, and how well a project works will eventually become a reputation.”
The future: working hard, working together to win
For the future, dynamism is not intended to simply pursue scale expansion。
As the shenzhen stock building progresses into the equipment renewal cycle, the energy-saving needs of the old building will continue to be released. In particular, in areas such as lake rowe, where the development has been relatively early and the building is relatively long, the needs have gradually become apparent; as the age of the building grows, regions such as fukuda and namshan will move into an upgraded phase。
However, in his view, this would not be a market where short-term capital inputs would make it quick and large。
"this industry needs to sink." in the view of li ming jun, energy-saving rehabilitation will ultimately depend on a project to validate results and will require long-term cooperation among a wide range of sources, including equipment, engineering, energy management and property。
The national archaeological and cultural creative industry base in salt fields is a warm, fresh wind and clean-up frequency control system that has been transformed and put into operation。
As a result, it is developing mutually supportive business structures for installation, conservation and energy conservation in old buildings, as well as working with equipment manufacturers, energy management enterprises, etc., to supplement the professional capacities of different segments。
Such “cooperation” also extends within enterprises。
Currently, it has about 120 employees. While the engineering industry is generally affected by market fluctuations, companies continue to insist on monthly wages, which have been relatively stable in recent years. In cases of maternity leave, etc., the company also minimizes the pressure on its employees by increasing the number of additional posts。
Li mingjun believes that the company is more capable of taking risks than individuals and that, to the extent that operations permit, more stable expectations should be given to employees. Good work for clients, good work for partners, good work for each other, and a stable development environment for employees as far as possible。
From central air-conditioning installation maintenance to energy-saving retrofitting of old buildings, the dynamic business has been changing, but the logic behind it has not changed much. In the case of a shenzhen engineering enterprise that has been in existence for 20 years, the “worker spirit” is not a slogan in the end, but is implemented in every installation, every maintenance and every project delivery — doing the simple thing, doing the professional thing deep and doing it for the long term。
