3. Detailed instructions for applying for a factory construction license
To obtain a factory construction license, customers need to follow the following steps:
- Step 1: Approving the factory construction decision
The approval of the factory construction decision involves the endorsement of the construction decision through legal documentation for investment in the construction project. This decision will be approved by the Director or the Board of Directors of a company or enterprise. The decision should specify details such as the project name, investor’s name, construction objectives, location, scale, facility area, total investment amount, management method, and other information.
- Step 2: Conducting geological survey drilling
The geological survey drilling process involves going to the proposed construction site to research and gather information about the geological conditions. Customers can propose suitable construction techniques using this method to guarantee the development of a high-quality facility.
- Step 3: Executing the construction design
Customers must work with a qualified and experienced entity to move forward with the design of the factory construction. The construction design process must comply with all legal requirements stipulated by the government. Current standards and laws must be strictly followed in the design documentation.
The construction site, land area, built-up area, green space area, internal road area, as well as the scale of each facility component, should all be depicted in the design drawings. The design dossier must encompass construction design drawings, a detailed report describing design elements, and an estimated budget for construction execution.
- Step 4: Design evaluation
This process will be carried out by a third-party entity with expertise, experience, and compliance with legal regulations as stipulated by the government. The design evaluation process aims to inspect and assess to ensure that the design dossier meets all requirements, including the correct scale and funding for the project, the type and level of construction to be executed, and adherence to current regulations regarding factory construction requirements.
- Step 5: Applying for Environmental and Fire Protection Certificate
The design plans have been submitted to specialized agencies and departments to apply for Environmental and Fire Protection Certificates. These are crucial types of certificates that need to be included in the application dossier for the construction license.
- Step 6: Submitting the Construction License Application
After preparing all the necessary documents and construction dossier based on the information above, the project investor will apply to the Receiving Department and receive the construction license application results at the People’s Committee of the province or city where the project is implemented. The receiving unit will conduct a preliminary evaluation before proceeding with the process. Subsequently, they will provide a written notification of the dossier reception, which also serves as an appointment for the results of the construction license application.
- Step 7: Inspecting the document
The province’s or city’s Urban Management Department will receive the document. Relevant agencies and departments will review and inspect the documents to ensure compliance with current regulations. Subsequently, the document will be submitted to the People’s Committee of the province/city for review and approval.
In cases where the document does not meet the requirements, feedback will be sent to the project investor. The document will specify the additional information so that the investor can complete the construction license application.
- Step 8: Construction license issuance
The authorized unit will issue the construction license after receiving approval from the agency or unit’s head, as the government requires. Subsequently, the company applying for the factory construction license will receive the result and the decision at the Receiving and Returning Construction License Results Department under the People’s Committee of the province or city where the document was submitted.
4. Some considerations when applying for a factory construction license for some industries
Every industry has unique characteristics. To apply for a factory construction permit, there are some considerations that investors need to pay attention to for the licensing process to proceed more smoothly. Let’s explore some notes for obtaining a construction license in the leather shoes, garment, and automotive manufacturing industries with Pebsteel.
4.1. Leather shoes and garment industry
- Analyzing infrastructure requirements: For the leather shoes and garment industries, having convenient and suitable infrastructure is crucial. Customers need to ensure that the construction site meets the specific requirements of this industry, such as the efficient use of water, electricity, and raw materials.
- Considering environmental requirements and technical standards: The leather shoes and garment industries often impose strict ecological standards, especially regarding handling chemicals and waste materials. The factory construction project must comply with these standards.
4.2. Automobile manufacturing industry
- Specialized technical infrastructure survey: The investor needs to examine technical infrastructure, including electrical infrastructure, water supply, wastewater treatment, air conditioning, and ventilation systems, in line with the requirements of the automotive manufacturing process.
- Compliance with automotive safety standards: Customers must ensure that the entire construction and design process adheres to the safety standards of the automotive industry, including requirements for materials and techniques.
In addition to the aforementioned specific points, investors in these two industries, as well as in other industries in general, should pay attention to:
- You should seek a specialized legal support unit to promptly complete the licensing process in compliance with regulations. Additionally, choosing a construction contractor that assists in obtaining construction permits is a prudent solution.
- Main contractors must clearly understand the information, regulations, and necessary documents required to prepare the construction permit application dossier. This helps prevent situations where the dossier is incomplete, thereby avoiding the need for subsequent adjustments or supplements, saving time and effort.
