What is a “sales office” in the construction industry?②

Hello, this is Masuno from the Shinjuku office.

There are cases where people make the following misunderstandings when consulting with new construction companies.
× “You can only operate within the prefecture where your construction business office is located…”
× “If you want to do construction work in Saitama Prefecture, you need to set up a sales office in Saitama…”

Indeed, depending on the permit,
There are also types of businesses where sales activities and construction work can only be carried out within the area where the business office is located.

For example, outdoor advertising business registration, etc.
Registration is required for each prefecture that has jurisdiction over construction related to the display and installation of advertising materials.

When carrying out outdoor advertising construction in Tokyo, even if there is no office in Tokyo,
Registration in Tokyo is required.

In the construction industry, the mindset is completely different.
The "sales office" of the construction industry includes information about the "sales area" and "area where construction work will be carried out".
There are no regional restrictions.

For example, if you have only one office in Tokyo (permitted by the Governor of Tokyo),
By consolidating and completing all sales-related activities such as estimates, bidding, and contract conclusion, only at this Tokyo office,
We will be able to sell to clients across the country and carry out construction work nationwide.

In this case, even if we conduct business nationwide,
Our sales office remains the same, with only one office in Tokyo.
Issuers of quotations, etc./publishers of advertising explanatory materials should all display their business offices within Tokyo.

However, in practice, there seems to be a limit to the scope that one office can appropriately respond to.
Focusing on areas with large customers and areas with a large number of customers,
In many cases, a business office (secondary business office = branch) is added.
