The ERA Super "Public" Craftsmanship Skills Competition has been held continuously for many years, becoming a benchmark event in the field of home decoration and water and electricity, and the popularity of participation has been increasing year by year. In the daily routine of homework, the original intention of frontline plumbers has never been eroded, but has become increasingly firm - this is also the original intention of the event's establishment: to build a platform for frontline workers and artists to exchange, compete, and improve, to continue the inheritance of craftsmanship spirit, to let professional craftsmanship bloom value, and to help the high-quality development of the home decoration industry.
01 A grand event, discussing the inheritance of craftsmanship together
At the kickoff meeting, leaders from both ERA Group and Ande Decoration gave a profound exposition on the spirit of craftsmanship, skill improvement, and high-quality development of the industry.
Tao Jinrui, General Manager of the Home Decoration Division of ERA Corporation, has sent a message to the craftsmen to invest their practical skills and 100% craftsmanship spirit into this competition and exchange, to improve new craftsmanship, practice new standards, and establish new benchmarks, so that the value of craftsmen can shine in the places where they are most needed, and to make the craftsmanship spirit shine in "Made in China".

Cao Chenglong, President of Ande Decoration Group, stated in his speech that this competition is not only a top-level skill exchange, but also a grand event for exchanging craftsmanship standards, construction experience, and craftsmanship spirit. He put forward three expectations to the participating craftsmen: adhere to the original intention, compete with integrity; Strive for excellence and compete to the extreme; Learn from each other, grow together, truly achieve the goal of promoting learning, training, and development through competition, and demonstrate the responsibility and commitment of hydropower workers in the new era. Cao Chengxue, Chairman of Ande Decoration Group, emphasized from an industry perspective that hydropower work is not only physical labor, but also the ultimate technical work.


02 Three major upgrades, building a hardcore foundation for the competition
The significance of the competition lies not only in the competition on the field, but also in integrating standardized craftsmanship, craftsmanship, and healthy domestic quality into the home decoration of thousands of households: during construction, it ensures the living experience of homeowners. In order to further meet the needs of the industry: to meet the requirements of real-life construction and upgrade the professionalism of the competition, this competition has completed a systematic upgrade around the three core dimensions of standards, competition system, and judges based on the mature experience of previous competitions, comprehensively consolidating the professional height and industry credibility of the competition.

For a long time, the market has often had inconsistent construction standards and vague process definitions for home decoration construction, which are also the most concerning home decoration problems for homeowners. This competition directly addresses market pain points, abandons vague evaluation criteria, and takes national construction standards as the core assessment basis, thoroughly answering the question of "what is standardized hydropower construction". Based on the professional accumulation of deep participation in the compilation of multiple national construction standards by ERA, the entire competition is benchmarked against national standards, making the assessment more authoritative, standardized, and in line with market demand.

At the same time, the competition breaks the single skill assessment mode, focuses on the key points, difficulties, and doubts in real home decoration construction, integrates real construction scenes into the competition assessment system, innovatively creates a comprehensive evaluation of "theory+practice+emergency response", adopts the dual forms of "cultural examination" and "martial examination", and comprehensively tests the comprehensive driving ability of craftsmen to new standards, new processes, and new scenes.
standard upgrade
The entire competition will be assessed in accordance with national standards and regulations such as the "Design Standards for Building Water Supply and Drainage" (GB50015-2019) and the "Technical Regulations for Plastic Pipe Engineering in Building Drainage" (CJT 29-2010) to ensure the authority and standardization of the evaluation system and promote the implementation of construction standardization.
Upgrade of competition format
For the first time, a dual form assessment of "civil examination+military examination" was adopted, with the civil examination focusing on technical standards as the test questions, helping the foreman to more professionally master the requirements of national standards and technical specifications; The martial arts examination tests welding skills, construction techniques, and the ability to adapt to changes on the field through practical exercises.
Judges open the level
Three major industry strength judges, invited authoritative standard setting: expert review to ensure fairness in the competition.
Through three major upgrades, every foreman can truly understand the standards in the competition: standards, master standards, and internalize standards. Transforming 'precision delivery' from a slogan to a practical and verifiable construction habit, linking 'good materials' and' good home decoration '.

03 A mission landing in thousands of households
Behind high-level competitions lies a profound industry accumulation and firm industry commitment. Water and electricity construction is the foundation of home decoration and comfortable living. High quality products, standardized processes, and professional craftsmen work together to build the core foundation of healthy home decoration.
On the product side, from raw material selection and structural design to process optimization and scene adaptation, ERA responds to real home decoration pain points with technological innovation throughout the process, continuously outputting high-quality and highly adaptable home decoration products.

On the standard side, ERA has extended its capability radius to lower level fields and has been deeply involved in the preparation of multiple national and industry construction regulations, such as GB50015-2019 Building Water Supply and Drainage Design Standards and GB50303-2015 Code for Acceptance of Construction Quality of Building Electrical Engineering. With a professional perspective on standard revision, it promotes the standardization of pipeline construction.

A skills competition never ends on the field. Every craftsmanship and standard calibrated by the foremen on the field ultimately needs to be returned to thousands of families. This is exactly the concept that "Good House" follows: relying on technological and standard advantages, through professional construction, to bring high-quality experience to every family.

In the future, ERA will continue to focus on product innovation, standard guidance, and craftsmanship cultivation, serving thousands of households with the brand vision, professional capabilities, and responsibility of "making mobility worry free and the world a better place".
