The suspension of Dunchon Jugong construction has been known as a conflict over construction costs.
But the situation underneath was different.
This is an official letter sent by the Reconstruction Association to the construction company right before the construction was stopped.
Although there was a proviso that there was an ex post verification, I wrote that the construction cost would be raised as the construction company had requested in the meantime.
The money problem is practically solved.
However, another condition was attached.
The union presented 19 items and specific companies such as kitchen and bathroom furniture and tiles, saying that it would upgrade the finishing materials.
He even offered to pay more if there was an extra cost.
However, the construction company countered that it was difficult, saying that it had already placed an order for finishing materials according to the existing contract.
[건설사 관계자 : 공사 중간에 이렇게 마감재를 바꾸는 건 처음 봤습니다. 재건축·재개발 현장에서 이런 경우는 거의 없다고 보시면 되고….]
Some members complained that the union did not talk in advance.
[둔촌주공 재건축조합원 : 고급화를 하겠다고 하면 거기에 대한 추가 분담금은 분명히 발생합니다. 거기에 대한 것을 알리고 동의를 받아야 맞는 거고요. 조합 지도부가 일방적으로 시공사한테 자꾸 요구를 하는 거예요.]
The union said it was a ‘mistake’ to ask for a specific company’s product, but said, “The right to use a good product lies with the union.”
[강정원/둔촌주공 재건축조합 자문위원 : 4~5년 전에 결정한 걸 굳이 지금 그대로 적용할 수밖에 없다고 주장하는 게, 사실은 뭔가 있는 게 아닌가 오히려 저희는 거꾸로 의심하는 거고요.]
As mutual trust weakens due to endless conflict, the nation’s largest reconstruction project is likely to be idle for a while.
