Before acquiring land, companies need to complete four tasks:

(1) Environmental Approval

Engage a professional third-party agency to prepare an environmental impact assessment report and coordinate with the Environmental Protection Bureau to initiate the approval process. Approval from the environmental authorities is typically obtained within 2–3 months;

(2) Planning and Construction Approval

Before acquiring land, you must submit a site layout plan and relevant parameter information. While you can handle the initial stages yourself, you will need to engage a specialized design institute or agency for the subsequent implementation. As long as the plan complies with the local master plan, the approval process is relatively straightforward.

(3) Geological Survey

Geological exploration, simply put, involves surveying the current status and geological conditions of the plot you intend to purchase. This must be conducted by a company with independent qualifications.

(4) Land Transaction

Here, you simply need to participate in the public bidding process. First, register with the land administration department and win the bid. Then, confirm the land transaction, pay a 20–25% deposit, and sign the land use rights contract. After receiving the payment notice, pay the full land transfer fee to complete the transaction.
