Hello my wife have some land in da nang and we are looking to build a home there but terrified of the difference in construction and legalities there? We have contacted a architect and construction company but wanted some outside help and advice in what we need to know to protect ourselves.
Some key points:
We know that vietnam have different quality standards with construction. We know we have to watch out for concrete mix being mix incorrectly and to double check plumbing and electrical work. Such as sewer pipes with no back flow and p trap in all sinks, breaker on each floor.
Our other concern is warranty on the construction and other contractual agreements clauses we need to be aware of and what we need to have in the contract?
We got an estimate based on square footage, but we have had heard where suddenly the estimated price goes up as the construction is being done? I understand material may go up depending on market supply and demand but what can we do to protect ourselves if the contractor starts charging more for stuff?
Thanks ahead of time we are newbies at this
