Workshop on Building Basic Construction Unit Price List
(Baonghean.vn)-The workshop took place on the morning of November 18, chaired by Mr. Huynh Thanh Dien, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, Chairman of the Provincial Construction Price List Compilation Council; Mr. Huynh Thanh Canh, Deputy Director of the Department of Construction, Vice Chairman of the Compilation Council. Attending the workshop were representatives of relevant departments and associations; People's Committees of urban districts and some construction enterprises in the province.
Currently, in Nghe An province, the unit prices of construction works have been announced in a number of decisions issued for a long time. Many contents of the above norms have been adjusted, supplemented, and replaced by the Ministry of Construction to suit the actual construction and increasingly developed construction technology. On the other hand, the labor costs of the previous construction works were calculated according to the old salary scale, which was abolished from May 14, 2013. On March 25, 2015, the Ministry of Construction issued a circular guiding the determination of labor costs in the management of construction investment costs. The current provincial construction works unit prices are no longer suitable when making estimates, and must be based on the instructions of the Department of Construction. At the same time, in reality, many new types of construction materials, machinery and construction equipment have appeared.
