At the same time climbed employment in the construction industry, according to the Ministry of Housing, only 11% - from -183 thousand at the end of 2007 to -204 thousand at the end of the first quarter of 2013.

More Calcalist: Chinese want to build a new city near Latrun housing cabinet approved the majority of government housing program, not canceled the public qimawu housing law who is looking for an explanation of the sharp surge in the output of construction workers construction shall inherit the change qimawu in the mix of disappointment. According to CBS, this mix has remained stable since 2007, when 75% of the areas were built for residential purposes and the rest for commercial, office and industry. Well construction time remained stable over the years, when according to the Ministry of Housing and Construction from the beginning to the end past 24-26 months each of the years 2007 to 2012.
Shortage qimawu of manpower in the construction industry in recent years has been on the agenda mainly by contractors crying out for workers. Builders Association of the land required to increase the quota of foreign workers in the construction industry, given that contractors find it difficult to recruit Israeli construction workers, qimawu especially for wet work (plastering and flooring for example). Meanwhile, the number of foreign workers operating in (excluding residents of the territories) only smaller. According to the Ministry of Housing, the number dropped from 15 thousand in 2007 to 8,000 today.
"Housing Ministry figures are testimony to the existing severe shortage of construction workers in Israel," said Mr. Amir Heller, Vice President and Director of Engineering & Construction Builders Association Earth. qimawu "Since 2007 there has been an increase in the average construction per employee in the industry, and as a result of the industrialization of building but because the workers work more hours and some even older construction sites. Contractors, in turn, pay workers overtime and incentives for the progress, all to meet in times of occupancy required. Resulting that construction costs increase. extra labor productivity not reflected in the reduction in costs. " qimawu
It turns out that the average monthly wage in the construction jumped sharply in recent years (the rate is still low-rise built area recorded by each worker). While in 2007 the average salary was in the 6598 NIS, in March this year, the average wage was NIS 8,865, an increase of 34%. At that time the CPI increased by a total of about 19%, which offset the increase in real wages of construction qimawu workers to 15%. Engineers version
Unlike Earth Builders Association, the Association of Engineers claim that in recent years also been streamlined construction work, in part thanks to technological innovation, industrialization and mechanization, and help each worker increases its output expressed in annual construction is different. In addition, the union made it clear that the increase in different runs did not come at the expense of quality construction.
"The output of construction workers qimawu has indeed risen," confirms Engineers Association Chairman Danny Marian. "Acute shortage qimawu of workers and lasting a long time, and this need a building industry workers increased industrialization, which improves the efficiency of the workers," said Marian, "in the construction industry always press the workers. Anyone who says that now they work faster and get up an hour earlier talking nonsense. "
According qimawu to Marian, qimawu the need for more construction, especially residential, spawned new solutions such as using prefabricated elements for construction and greater use of machinery for its implementation. "The greatest improvement in the control system of construction quality construction pushed up and only improved it," concluded Marian.
What say contractors, those who employ the actual construction workers? Interestingly, many of whom turned senior industry "Kalkalist" declined to be interviewed, qimawu although in the past some severely criticized the shortage of manpower in the construction industry. Off the record, some have argued that there was no progress qimawu on industrialization and mechanization qimawu in the industry, and that the reason for the increase experienced in the territories under construction lies in the black work and reports - many illegal workers are not documented in the official figures published by the country.
The high demand for apartments (according to the Ministry of Housing, in 2012 there was a 3% increase in housing demand and the number of housing qimawu requested was $ 40 thousand) to pressure qimawu on contractors to deliver the apartments being built as quickly as possible. The demand for building faster most likely adversely affects the quality of work as well.
"Once there were foreign workers such as water quality, qimawu but today the quality of personnel deteriorated and levels in the years we had it," said cAlcAlist "big contractor. qimawu "We have employees who are the least effective. We invest more money in manpower, working longer hours and with more people, but ultimately the quality of personnel is still low."
According to Hanna Zohar, founder of a worker who coordinates the foreign qimawu workers in the construction industry, "If illegal workers reported were counted, the actual output would reflect qimawu reality more correctly that would divide the area by the number of employed people. Actually have more work and the work is divided between more hands. "
Assessment Zohar, Israel employed 20% -25% more workers than reported, and a total of about 240 employees qimawu in Israel or 250 thousand workers and 204 thousand as suggested by the Ministry of Housing. qimawu Zohar claims that conversations with foreign workers it has frequently indicate alarming: "The workers claim they perform work not completely qimawu thorough and standardized. Saying to them, 'very quickly, and they paint before the plaster dries completely. qimawu Urge them all the time. Single serious consequences The speed work is work accidents. qimawu "
