Strive for a two month construction period for Bilibili's New Era Industrial Park! Why are major projects such as Yangpu Binjiang advancing rapidly? Yangpu District Construction Management Committee | Project | Duration
Yangpu Binjiang, Bilibili New Era Industrial Park is under construction in full swing, and the project has entered the main basement construction phase. In the neighborhood of Station B, Meituan, CECEP, CCCC, Tiktok and other leading enterprise projects are also stepping up construction. After the completion of these major projects, 2.7 million square meters of commercial and office space will be released to help build a "hub for the intersection of world innovation elements, a charming waterfront that blends history and future, and a Shanghai style community for outstanding talents to live in.".
"At the beginning, our preliminary procedures were severely lagging behind. If it weren't for Gao Jian's help in obtaining the construction permit in advance, the project progress wouldn't have been so fast." Li Yong, the general manager of Huan'an Bicheng Company, the construction party of the B station project, said, "I estimate that at least two months of work time was saved."
Gao Jian is the Deputy Director of the Yangpu District Construction Industry Management Affairs Center and also the "Chief Attendant" of the Yangpu District Construction Management Committee. He led his colleagues to build a new model of full process approval services, promoting the early start and completion of a number of major projects, and received widespread praise and recognition. Colleagues say that Gao Jian is "willing to study" and "daring to innovate", and the service recipients evaluate Gao Jian as "very professional" and "sincere". Gao Jian has also won the honorary titles of "Gold Medal Shop Waiter" for optimizing the business environment of Shanghai's building permit indicators in 2020, and "exemplary individual of the National Housing and Urban Rural Construction System" in 2022.
Bold pilot city wide promotion
At the beginning of last year, Gao Jian received a phone call. Can the foundation pit retaining piles be included in the scope of "pile foundation first"?
According to the policy at that time, "pile foundation first" was limited to major projects, and measures such as retaining piles for foundation pits were not included. But Gao Jian did not simply reject the other party. He thought that with a reasonable arrangement of construction flow operations, this could significantly improve efficiency and shorten the construction period. When some companies asked, it was clear that there must be a large number of companies with the same demands.
Gao Jian immediately organized a team to analyze and judge, determined that the risks were controllable based on expert argumentation of the foundation pit design scheme and construction drawing review, and formulated safeguard measures to prepare for small-scale trial implementation. Upon learning that the progress of the Bilibili project was lagging behind, he proactively called the construction party to inform them of the new policy that could be piloted.
"At a time when he was at a loss, Gao Jian's phone call was like 'timely rain'." Li Yong said that on June 28th last year, at 4 pm, the project had just received approval for the planning plan. Gao Jian followed up and guided the entire process through phone and WeChat, urging the design unit to produce and transmit drawings, reviewing the system's filling materials in advance, and contacting the review agency to accelerate the construction drawing review. "At 11 pm that night, Gao Jian called again to say that the construction permit was processed. We couldn't believe it was so fast at first, until we actually downloaded and printed the 'hot' construction permit."
The next morning, a pile driver was erected on the construction site of the B station project, becoming the first pilot project in the city to include foundation pit enclosure measures in the scope of "pile foundation first", truly achieving seamless connection in all aspects of engineering construction.
Tao Jianjun, Deputy Secretary of the Yangpu District Construction and Management Committee, introduced that this year the Yangpu District Construction and Management Committee has issued an action plan on system integration, precise implementation, and improving the business environment in the field of engineering construction, which includes 12 measures such as expanding the scope of "pile foundation first" and phased completion acceptance, and encouraging architects to take responsibility for the pilot system. "This innovative pilot has been solidified as a regular policy and promoted in key areas and projects, which can shorten the construction period of each project by several months. After understanding it, the municipal department also recognized this innovative breakthrough and has been piloted and promoted in other districts of Shanghai."
Actively exploring optional actions
The successful implementation of the "pile foundation first" expansion pilot project is inseparable from Gao Jian's long-term in-depth research on the reform of the approval system for engineering construction projects.

"I was transferred to the position of Minister of Market Services in 2018, and I happened to witness the entire process of optimizing the business environment and reforming the approval system for engineering construction projects in this city, from version 1.0 to version 6.0 this year." Gao Jian said that in the past six years, he has actively contacted relevant departments at the city level to understand the direction of reform in advance; After the policy is introduced, we will learn and research the operational path as soon as possible, identify pilot projects, and accelerate the implementation of reform measures in Yangpu.
Xiang Zhihong, Director of the Market Service Department of the Yangpu District Construction Industry Management Affairs Center, told reporters that when he first took over the market service work, Gao Jian held a thick business guidance book every day and was the first to study and research the latest reform documents, striving to fully understand new measures, new methods, and new requirements. "On the basis of implementing the 'prescribed actions' first, combined with the actual situation of the district, he actively explored the' voluntary actions'."
In the second phase of the Internet Treasure Land project in a large-scale commercial complex, Gao Jian boldly attempted to carry out phased completion acceptance for unit projects that have already met their functional requirements. It is understood that the project has an investment of 6.6 billion yuan and a total construction area of over 250000 square meters. It has settled in several leading companies in the industry, including Meituan, Dewu, Ford, and Ouyelianjin. The project was originally scheduled to be completed and delivered in April last year, but due to the epidemic, the construction period was delayed, which had a significant impact on the subsequent tenant relocation plan.
After learning of the situation, Gao Jian actively coordinated the final construction and completion acceptance work after the resumption of project work. In response to the delay in the progress of outdoor supporting engineering and the overall comprehensive completion acceptance of the project, the phased completion acceptance not only helps the project construction unit solve the problem of project delay, but also saves time for subsequent tenants to carry out secondary decoration, saving nearly two months compared to the conventional approval method, and has received unanimous praise from all parties of the project.
Remote services are widely recognized
Last year, Yangpu District launched the "Chief Waiter" enterprise service brand, striving to strengthen cross system and cross departmental linkage, and better serve market entities. Gao Jian became the "Chief Attendant" of the Yangpu District Construction Management Committee, leading the consulting services for major construction projects, key investment attracting enterprises, and leading construction industry enterprises in the region.
Gao Jian learned from a daily contact with the "Chief Attendant" that Shanghai Electric Power Installation First Engineering Co., Ltd. is transitioning towards the municipal and new energy sectors due to the shrinking market of traditional thermal power projects, resulting in a certain decline in the company's output value. The company is considering expanding its market in multiple directions. Gao Jian immediately led a team to connect with the company's handling personnel and relevant functional departments, explaining in detail the qualification application process for the company, as well as the requirements for professional and technical personnel such as builders and engineers. This helped the company successfully apply for three qualifications: Level 2 for building decoration and decoration engineering, Level 2 for fire protection facilities engineering, and Level 2 for waterproof, anti-corrosion, and insulation engineering, creating favorable conditions for the company's transformation and development.
In order to further improve the convenience of handling affairs and ensure that "more data runs, less people run", Gao Jian has taken the lead in establishing and improving a full process online consultation service mechanism of "management system+consultation phone+WeChat network". As long as enterprise staff complete project information submission or make consultation calls in the management system, they are included in the scope of online consultation services, without the need to run offline physical windows, truly achieving "no meeting, zero running, paperless" approval. Through this mechanism, a total of 204 construction permits were obtained last year; As of the end of April this year, 69 construction permits have been issued.
Sometimes, when a company encounters unclear issues, Gao Jian adds the other party's WeChat and provides one-on-one remote guidance to solve the problem through photos, screenshots, video connections, and other forms. Gao Jian said that it is best not to let enterprises travel far and wide, but it must not affect the quality and effectiveness of service. Many projects did not meet with Gao Jian until the completion of the project, but they all recognized this "netizen" very much. Even if they encounter problems with projects in other regions, they immediately think of consulting Gao Jian. And Gao Jian always knows everything and speaks endlessly, and also carefully reminds the other party of potential problems that may arise in the future.
"There is no best business environment, only a better one," said Gao Jian. "As an ordinary member among the many 'waiters' in Yangpu, I will continue to focus on my own position, make every effort to promote the implementation and effectiveness of reform policies, and do everything possible to help enterprises overcome difficulties and accelerate the construction of major projects." Gao Jian said.
