The project cost structure is as follows: compensation cost: 0 billion VND; equipment cost: 14.5 billion VND; construction cost: 1.5 billion VND; project management cost: 0.3 billion VND; consulting cost: 0.5 billion VND; other costs: 1.5 billion VND; contingency cost: 1.8 billion VND.

Mr. Thanh asked, with the cost structure in the total investment as above, is his unit preparing an economic-technical report on construction investment for the project in accordance with the spirit of Clause 2, Article 12 of Decree No. 35/2023/ND-CP?

Regarding this issue, the Ministry of Finance has the following comments:

Clause 1 and Clause 2, Article 5 of Decree No. 10/2021/ND-CP dated February 9, 2021 of the Government on management of construction investment costs stipulates the construction investment costs of the project in the total construction investment.

Clause 3, Article 5 of Decree No. 175/2024/ND-CP dated December 30, 2024 of the Government detailing a number of articles and measures to implement the Construction Law on management of construction activities stipulates cases where construction investment projects only need to prepare a construction investment economic-technical report.

Mr. Thanh is requested to base on the above provisions to implement. In case of any problems, Mr. Pham Trung Thanh is requested to send a document to the Ministry of Construction for consideration and resolution.
