Accelerate the separation of enterprise's main business and engineering design and construction business, and simultaneously strengthen the work of engineering design review, construction supervision, and completion acceptance to ensure the quality of the project.
Actively promote the "one-stop" processing and "Internet +" service model, and promote "one-window acceptance, one-net-communication, and one-stop settlement" such as application for installation, maintenance, transfer, payment, and issuance of invoices, and further reduce the processing time limit and encourage The regions where conditions permit promote the entry of relevant service matters into the government service hall.
