Kajima is Japan's leading firm in the field of civil engineering.
The mission of the Company's civil engineering business is to facilitate economic
growth and secure safe and comfortable living spaces for all citizens through
maintenance and improvement of social capital such as railways, roads, ports,
airports, power plants, and liquefied petroleum gas storage facilities.
Through constant development and application of new construction
methods, the Company has reduced environmental impact, shortened construction
time, and lowered costs through seamless integration of design and construction
operations. Today, Kajima holds 2,731 patents, more than any other company in
the Japanese construction industry.
Market Conditions and Business Performance
In recent years, investment in civil engineering construction in Japan, especially
in public works, has declined sharply, and it is not expected to exceed 60% of
its 1995 peak. Impacted by this trend, the total value of Kajima's civil engineering
contracts in Japan had been on the decline since 1996, but in the term under review,
Kajima's intense efforts resulted in a 4.8% increase to  278
billion.
Future Outlook and Priorities
Securing new sources of earnings is one of Kajima's key strategies to counter
the effects of the contracting civil engineering market. The Company is increasing
organizational capacity in priority fields such as the environment, renovation,
and PFI, and expects to win more contracts in these areas.
In its environmental business, Kajima is developing new technologies
for recycling of construction waste, soil remediation, and water treatment, aiming
to increase orders in these rapidly growing fields. The market for renovation
work already accounts for more than 20% of the overall construction market. In
this market, the Company aims to win a wide range of contracts, ranging from preliminary
assessment service to repair work, by working with its subsidiaries and affiliated
companies. Kajima is also making a company-wide effort to win more bids on PFI
civil engineering projects.
