This achievement comes four years after winning the Grand Prize in 2021, once again demonstrating the excellence and leading administrative capabilities of Goyang City's construction administration.

The Construction Administration Soundness Evaluation is an annual initiative conducted among 31 cities and counties in Gyeonggi Province. It is designed to promote comprehensive development in the construction sector and is carried out through an objective expert assessment, which includes 26 quantitative indicators and qualitative evaluations. The purpose of the evaluation is to identify outstanding policies and to encourage soundness and institutional improvements in construction administration.

In this year's evaluation, the city received consistently high scores across all aspects of construction administration, earning recognition for its excellence.

In particular, the city was highly rated for: proactively identifying outstanding policies in the construction sector by improving procedures for pre-assessing the suitability of building sites; strengthening safety and quality management through joint expert inspections at construction sites; actively participating in key provincial policies; and holding workshops and in-depth meetings with local architects to enhance staff capabilities.

Additionally, by addressing institutional and technical limitations of the construction administration system (Seumter), the city improved issues such as the lack of management for unique site histories and insufficient updates to designated roads, thereby enhancing convenience for civil petitioners and improving administrative efficiency.

Building on the results of this evaluation, the city plans to further strengthen the substance of its construction administration and continue efforts to provide construction services that citizens can truly experience.

Mayor Lee Donghwan stated, "Winning the Grand Prize is official recognition of the professionalism and reliability of Goyang City's construction administration," adding, "We will continue to pursue innovations in construction administration that citizens can feel, and do our utmost to foster an advanced architectural culture through strengthened public-private cooperation."
