Responsibilities of construction contractors

Responsibilities of construction contractors according to Article 13 of Decree 06/2021/ND-CP include:

• Manage construction site, protect landmarks and construction boundaries, comply with construction site regulations.
• Establish and notify the investor and relevant parties about the contractor’s construction management system, including the organizational chart and assignment of responsibilities to each individual.
• Submit to the investor plans such as testing, quality control of materials, products, construction progress and labor safety.
• Identify dangerous areas during construction and organize appropriate human resources and equipment.

The role of construction contractors

• After receiving the contract, the construction contractor becomes the investor’s reception point, where the two parties can discuss, exchange and agree on the construction plan and the division of functional areas in the house.
• Role of construction contractor: The contractor will apply for a construction permit if the project requires it according to regulations, especially for large projects.
• After agreeing on the design, the construction contractor will contact material suppliers to consult prices and make an estimate suitable for the scale of the project.
• If you have knowledge of construction and materials, you can purchase materials yourself without the help of a contractor.
• The contractor is the unit that carries out the construction of the project. Each contractor usually has its own team of construction workers, but there is always supervision from the contractor to ensure the progress and quality of the project. The contractor provides the necessary machinery, scaffolding, and construction equipment.
• Construction Supervision: Finally, the contractor will supervise the construction process and ensure the completion of the project. They will carry out the procedures of measuring and drawing up the as-built drawings, then submit the documents and receive the drawings when the project is completed.

Construction management sequence

The construction management procedure according to Article 11 of Decree 06/2021/ND-CP includes the following steps:

• Receive construction site and manage construction site.
• Management of materials, products, components and equipment used for construction.
• Manage the contractor’s construction process.
