Up to now, the construction contractor has submitted to the investor for approval the steel VAS brand of Nghi Son Iron and Steel Joint Stock Company that meets the requirements of the design documents and standards applicable to the project.

Mr. An asked, in the above case, can the investor approve the brand of steel materials for use in the project? If so, is it necessary to redefine the new steel price and sign an addendum to adjust the contract price?

The Ministry of Construction responded to this issue as follows:

The content of Mr. Nguyen The An's question did not specify the law applicable to the contract, so the Ministry of Construction did not have enough grounds to provide specific instructions.

In case the construction contract falls within the scope of the Government's Decree No. 37/2015/ND-CP dated April 22, 2015 detailing the construction contract, the package contract price shall be implemented. according to the provisions of Article 15 of Decree No. 37/2015/ND-CP and other relevant legal documents.
