The "reform of the approval system for engineering construction projects" has drawn widespread attention and emphasis from society. Shenyang has issued the Implementation Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Approval System for Engineering Construction Projects in Shenyang, specifying measures such as the "One Blueprint" and "Multi-Plan Integration" business coordination and deepening the "Regional Assessment" reform. With engineering construction approval "submitting materials only once" as the driver, "handling all matters on one network" as the implementation path, and "one matter handled at one time" as the main lever, it advances the transformation of government functions and the optimization and reengineering of approval processes. After the plan is implemented, the overall approval time limit will be cut to within 40 working days, more than 50% of new industrial projects will achieve "start construction upon land acquisition," and 100% of low-risk industrial building projects will implement the architect responsibility system.

Highlight: Overall approval time limit cut to within 40 working days
In accordance with the relevant arrangements of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government and the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government on advancing "handling all matters on one network" and "submitting materials only once," Shenyang has established an office of the leading group for the reform of the approval system for engineering construction projects to coordinate reform-related work. The Municipal Business Environment Construction Bureau, as the lead department, with engineering construction approval "submitting materials only once" as the driver, "handling all matters on one network" as the implementation path, and "one matter handled at one time" as the main lever, continues to optimize approval processes, streamline approval steps, strengthen interim and post-event supervision, and improve service efficiency on the basis of existing reform achievements. After the plan is implemented, the overall approval time limit for engineering construction projects from project initiation to completion acceptance and real estate registration will be cut to within 40 working days.

Interpretation: How "one-time handling" of engineering construction project approval works
For the first time, plans for regional assessment, municipal pipe networks, underground infrastructure, sponge cities, 5G communication facilities, and other new additions are incorporated into planning and dynamically updated. Plots that do not meet the conditions for cleared land will not be announced, ensuring "transfer of cleared land." The construction conditions, assessment content, approval matters, and applicable processes of proposed projects will also be formed into "one list," with construction key points pushed via a "list system," and the "regional assessment" reform will be deepened.
In streamlining and optimizing approval steps, nondiscriminatory acceptance is implemented. Construction project land use pre-examination and site selection opinion letters are issued uniformly. Quality supervision registration procedures are no longer a precondition for construction permits, and archaeological exploration is no longer a precondition for engineering planning permits or construction permits. Municipal public utility departments involved in engineering construction projects, such as water, electricity, and gas, are uniformly stationed at the Municipal Government Service Center. The limits of approval stages are broken down, and a "nondiscriminatory acceptance window" for engineering construction project approval is set up. Departments rely on the engineering approval system to implement parallel approval, practicing "comprehensive acceptance at one window, one-time submission of one form, and full-process handling at one time."

Supervision + Insurance: Full-process quality risk control
To ensure the implementation of the "reform of the approval system for engineering construction projects," a project supervision and inspection mechanism based on different risk levels is established, supervision of high-risk projects is strengthened, and at the same time, the inherent defect insurance system for engineering quality is explored and promoted, with third-party risk management institutions hired by insurance companies providing full-process quality risk control services for engineering construction projects.
A sound credit system for the construction market is established and improved, and credit evaluation is fully applied in fields such as engineering construction project approval, bidding, and qualification access. Interim and post-event verification is strengthened. If an applicant is found not to have fulfilled its commitments, the government service department may terminate processing, order rectification, revoke decisions, impose administrative penalties, and include the matter in credit records.
