Jinju City Hall, Gyeongnam.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju-si, Gyeongnam Province, has been operating its own joint design team for resident inconvenience relief projects in eup, myeon, and dong from the 19th of last month until February 3rd next year to expedite next year's construction projects and reduce detailed design service costs.

The joint design covers 495 resident inconvenience relief projects in eup, myeon, and dong, including village roads, agricultural infrastructure, rivers, disaster risk areas, sewage facilities, and resident participation budgets, with a total project cost of 15.87 billion KRW.

It is expected that the joint design team's in-house design will save 990 million KRW in design service fees and contribute to revitalizing the local economy through prompt project ordering.

The joint design team is organized under the overall responsibility of the Director of the Urban Construction Bureau, consisting of 30 civil engineering officials from four teams in the main office and eup/myeon offices. They will conduct preliminary surveys, current status measurements, preparation and review of design documents, and plan to start construction before the farming season to minimize farming inconveniences caused by the construction and accelerate prompt financial execution.

The city plans to actively collect residents' opinions from the preliminary survey stage and reflect them in the design, and by unifying the design standard unit prices, it aims to secure the reliability and objectivity of the design documents.

A city official said, "The operation of this joint design team will not only quickly resolve resident inconveniences and reduce detailed design costs but also significantly help new civil engineering officials with limited design experience acquire technical skills and strengthen their work capabilities."
