SOEs' construction of residences, roads, grids seen speeding up development

On a residential construction site close to Xueyuan Road in Beijing's Haidian district, more than 400 workers from China Construction Second Bureau Decoration Engineering Co Ltd delivered exterior decoration materials, installed a sanitary sewer system, and adjusted the height of luminaire for 1,101 apartments of between 20 square meters to 120 sq m. The housing project is scheduled to be completed and ready for acceptance inspection in August.

These apartments can meet demands of single white-collar workers living alone, and also take care of the actual living needs of second-child families in need of large spaces, said Huang Wei, project manager of the company's Beijing branch, adding that his team conducted a one-month-long closed-loop management operation when Beijing experienced a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in May to ensure work progress.

Since many apartments are designed with different spaces, the management team requires all the workers and site managers to confirm drawings before undertaking the construction work, he said.
