Goheung-gun, Efforts Stand Out in Confirming and Evaluating Key Policies for Budget Savings and Prevention of Substandard Construction

2020 Major Project Review and Evaluation Resulted in 4.7 Billion Won Budget Savings

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Chunsu] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 31st that it saved 4.67 billion KRW in budget through pre-review processes such as contract review before project orders and design changes, routine audits, and special audits for 1,016 major projects this year.

The contract review examined cost estimates for 562 cases, eliminating 4.51 billion KRW worth of budget waste factors.

Routine audits reviewed 408 project implementations, saving 50 million KRW and preventing poor quality factors, while special audits contributed to sound construction by saving 110 million KRW through 46 design changes and participation in preliminary completion inspections.

In November, experts were invited to provide training on cost calculation methods and work understanding for practitioners, forming an evaluation team for 10 major policies and conducting confirmation evaluations through discussions to enhance work completeness.

Additionally, a manual for preventing poor construction in building works was produced and distributed, and quality management was strengthened through weekly inspections of various projects, operation of a poor construction reporting center, and joint inspections of 13 large-scale facility projects.

A military official stated, “We will continue to faithfully perform confirmation evaluation tasks such as contract reviews, operate a design consultation window and a data room within the administrative portal as new policies in 2021, and improve administrative efficiency and reliability through self-inspections of implementation status.”
