The time cost is reduced by nearly half, and nearly 300 billion yuan is saved every year——

Significant streamlining of the approval process for construction projects

  How difficult was it to complete the approval of an engineering construction project?

A CPPCC member in Guangzhou drew a "Long March Approval Map". According to the picture, the approval of construction projects requires companies to go to more than 20 departments and complete more than 100 procedures.

  With the continuous deepening of the reform of the approval system for construction projects across the country, the situation of difficult and slow approvals has been greatly improved.

The reform of the examination and approval system for construction projects is an important part of deepening the reform of "delegating management and service", transforming government functions, and optimizing the business environment.

From the implementation of the pilot reform of the construction project approval system to the comprehensive implementation of the reform throughout the country, my country has basically established a unified national construction project approval and management system, achieving a unified approval process, a unified information data platform, a unified approval management system, and a unified supervision method , The approval time has been reduced from an average of more than 200 working days to 120 working days.

  Nowadays, approval of construction projects has not only reduced the time significantly, but also effectively reduced the economic costs of enterprises.

"A lot of things have been merged, and the materials have been simplified a lot. The certificates that could not be obtained for more than a month can now be obtained in one week." As a data clerk in running projects for many years, Zhang Chaoning is handling Shizuishan, Ningxia The city’s old city sewage plant project planning permit was deeply touched, “This alone can save us nearly 20 days of construction period, which is too useful for areas with relatively short construction periods in the north. Only completing this project for approval can save us more than 80,000 yuan in service costs."

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, my country's global ranking in the World Bank's business environment assessment for building permit indicators has continued to rise, from 172nd in 2018 to 121st in the world in 2019, and to the world in 2020 33rd place.

In the World Bank's assessment, for the construction permit index, the time for the whole process in my country was 248 days. After the reform, it was 111 days, a decrease of 137 days.

According to estimates, it saves nearly 300 billion yuan in capital costs for market entities each year.

  The reform has also significantly reduced the approval process for project construction, making it easier for enterprises to handle affairs.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, all localities refer to the national-level engineering construction project approval process and list of items to streamline and standardize the approval items and conditions of construction projects in the region, and the entire process of approval items has been reduced to an average of 66 items.

All localities implement the “one-window acceptance” for engineering construction project approval. Through the engineering construction project approval management system, the whole-process online online office is vigorously promoted. Enterprises no longer need to go to different department windows. Many regions vigorously promote project housekeeping and assistance services, etc. Facilitate the approval of enterprises.

During the epidemic, many regions used approval systems, video conferences, and other methods to achieve non-face-to-face approval, which effectively guaranteed the implementation of projects.

  After the reform, the satisfaction of market players has increased significantly.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the third-party evaluation of the reform of the construction project approval system showed that more than 85% of the enterprises indicated that the approval procedures and time have been effectively reduced after the reform, and the work is more convenient.

In the 2020 "Business Evaluation Environment for Ten Thousand Private Enterprises" organized by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, companies are also highly satisfied with project approval.

  "The reform of the engineering construction approval system has basically established a unified national engineering construction project approval and management system, and the whole process of approval is standardized and standardized." The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said, "The reform of the engineering project approval system effectively promotes government functions. And the transformation of management methods to promote the formation of a unified and open domestic market."

  First of all, the reform of the approval system for construction projects has effectively eliminated the obstacles that hinder the establishment of a unified and open domestic market.

Through the reform of the construction project approval system, the national construction project approval process and list of items have been unified, and the entire process of approval items have been included in the comprehensive window and construction project approval management system management, forming a closed and mature approval management mechanism, which is conducive to eliminating investment and construction Institutional obstacles to cross-regional mobility and reasonable allocation.

  At the same time, it promoted the transformation from the previous departmental fragment management to the government's integrated management.

The reform of the construction project approval system is a reform that covers the entire process. It changes the past reforms for a single item and a single link. The entire process is divided into 4 stages, and the preliminary project planning and generation, parallel approval, joint review, and joint acceptance are fully implemented. Relying on the construction project approval management system to realize the full-process online approval, effectively breaking down departmental barriers, and forming a departmental collaborative approval mechanism.

Shanghai and other places have adopted the establishment of one-stop examination and approval centers to fully implement "only one door", "only one window" and "only one department", and promote the "overall government"-style government service mechanism.

  In addition, the reform has promoted the transformation of project approval from strict, loose control, and light penalties to lenient, strict control, and heavy penalties.

The reform of the approval system for construction projects has effectively streamlined the approval items and links, and has further lowered the threshold for enterprises to handle matters by promoting the "list system + notification and commitment system".

At the same time, through measures such as strengthening the double random and one disclosure, establishing the red and black lists for approval of construction projects, and improving the credit supervision mechanism, we have continuously strengthened supervision during and after the event.

In many regions, through strengthening the information sharing of the construction project approval management system and related supervision systems, and smart construction sites, they have effectively strengthened the linkage of review and management, and truly realized "releasable and manageable".
