The payment standard for civil air defense engineering relocation construction fees is unclear, and the civil air defense approval cannot be passed.

Civil air defense engineering construction is an important component of national defense construction. According to Article 22 of the Civil Air Defense Law, new civil buildings in cities shall, in accordance with relevant national regulations, construct basements usable for air defense in wartime. The implementation rules formulated by various provinces and municipalities under the Civil Air Defense Law further clarify the area ratio for constructing air defense basements in civil buildings. In terms of problem manifestations, the construction unit misunderstands the calculation rules for the ancillary construction area of civil air defense engineering, incorrectly including or omitting building types that should not be counted in the ancillary construction base. The construction unit is unfamiliar with the payment standards for off-site construction fees or mistakenly uses outdated payment standards, resulting in insufficient payment amounts. The supporting documents provided by the construction unit when applying for off-site construction are insufficient, causing the Civil Air Defense Office to reject the off-site construction application. In terms of legal consequences, for projects that fail to construct air defense basements as required or fail to pay off-site construction fees in full and on time, the competent civil air defense department will not issue approval opinions for civil air defense engineering. According to Articles 48 and 49 of the Civil Air Defense Law, those who neither construct basements usable for air defense in wartime nor pay off-site construction fees shall be given a warning by the competent civil air defense department of the people's government at or above the county level and ordered to construct or pay within a specified time limit. In terms of operational impact, the direct consequence of failing to pass civil air defense approval is the inability to obtain the construction project planning permit. From a cost perspective, understanding in advance and accurately calculating civil air defense off-site construction fees and incorporating them into the project total investment estimate—thereby avoiding idle labor and increased capital costs caused by approval delays—is a highly cost-effective compliance management measure. The core measures to resolve such issues include proactively coordinating with the local competent civil air defense department during the design phase to obtain written confirmation opinions, commissioning a professional design institute with civil air defense design qualifications to carry out preliminary design, and incorporating civil air defense off-site construction fees into the project total investment estimate with proper reserves in the funding plan. From the perspective of systems engineering in engineering management, resolving this issue requires the coordinated advancement of four dimensions: institutional design, process control, technical support, and cultural development. At the institutional design level, clear responsibility boundaries and operating procedures must be established, translating regulatory requirements into executable job responsibilities and work standards. At the process control level, full-lifecycle quality supervision and dynamic correction must be implemented to ensure that the work results of each stage meet expected objectives. At the technical support level, information-based methods and intelligent tools should be actively introduced to improve management precision and efficiency. At the cultural development level, quality awareness and compliance awareness must be cultivated among all staff to foster an organizational atmosphere pursuing excellence. Only by organically integrating these four dimensions can the recurring common quality defects and persistent management issues in engineering construction be fundamentally resolved, achieving continuous improvement and outstanding performance in project management.
