Top General Contractors & M&E General Contractors in Vietnam 2021

October 4, 2021October 4, 2021

Since the beginning of 2020 until now, construction enterprises have been continuously faced many difficulties due to objective factors such as: rapidly rising price of materials, which is directly affected by social distancing requirements leading to the demand for the construction industry dropped sharply in the residential, commercial and industrial real estate investment segments. Facing the above situation, professional associations and representatives of a number of enterprises have made recommendations to remove difficulties for construction enterprises such as: proposals for tax exemption and reduction, extension of time to repay bank loans, bank loan interest rate exemptions and reductions are proposed by construction contractors to the Government, State management agencies…

However, the solutions mentioned above only provide temporary pain relief, but cannot solve the main dilemma of the industry, which is the unfair competition in the market that tends to increase negative sides. Profit margin has been increasingly “shrinking” in recent years, according to HOUSELINK’s report in the past 2 years, 100% of the leading construction general contractors in Vietnam interviewed said that: Profits are no longer worth much, many projects have suffered very heavy losses due to the pressure of having to work to maintain the system, cash flow, etc. They had to suffer accept very low bids to compete with the competitors as newly established contractors.

The reasons for this situation are:

The barriers to entering the industry are not large, leading to an explosion in the number of contractors in the market, but the information and construction quality and performance capacity of these contractors have not been properly verified and transparent.
The construction industry is a specific industry: the final product is only formed in the future. Therefore, it is a fact that many investors, especially foreign investors who are not familiar with Vietnam’s construction industry, do not have enough information or suffer from business tricks, complicated relationships, etc, making it very difficult for them to evaluate and distinguish the capacity between contractors, the quality of the bid documents, as well as anticipate the risks during project implementation. Therefore, the only factor they let them choose is the bid price. As a result, the Vietnamese construction industry market is increasingly distorted, as well as the quality of construction works has not improved much.

If we can solve these core causes, along with the positive outlook of Vietnam’s construction industry in the coming years. Certainly, capable businesses will have many opportunities to transform as well as the Vietnamese construction industry can develop sustainably.
