🌱 Lesser-known insights when building green factories/workshops

1. Wind direction & natural lighting can decide 30% of operational efficiency

• Many investors only focus on land size, forgetting orientation. Aligning buildings with prevailing southern winds keeps factories cooler and reduces ventilation costs.

2. Smart foundations help save energy

• Using reflective floor materials instead of plain concrete lowers surface temperature by 2–3°C, improving the microclimate.

3. Double walls and insulated roofs do more than reduce heat

• With proper design, they also minimize noise from machinery, creating a more comfortable and productive workspace.

4. Green belts and water features should be planned from the start

• Many factories only add landscaping at the end. But integrating trees and ponds early can naturally cool the entire facility.

5. Green construction costs less than you think

• Over a 10–15 year lifecycle, reduced operating costs outweigh the initial investment.

“A green factory blueprint is more than steel and concrete.

It channels fresh breezes, welcomes natural light, and positions green spaces right from the drawing board.

That’s how an industrial building can breathe with nature 🌿”

You can build a factory in months.

But keeping it strong for 20 years takes much more.

Speed brings contracts.

Sustainability carries the future.

As HCMC Expands, Binh Duong Becomes the Promised Land for Factories

There’s a quiet but powerful transformation happening. As Ho Chi Minh City grows, Binh Duong is becoming the new “industrial heart” of Southern Vietnam.

🏭 Why are so many businesses choosing to build factories here?

Spacious land, affordable costs, and modern infrastructure.

Close to HCMC but with lower operating expenses.

Well-planned industrial zones ready to support both FDI and local enterprises.

✨ A modern factory is not just a place of production – it’s the foundation for global growth.

If you’re considering a new project, think of Binh Duong – where success stories begin.

✨ A small story in the journey of building a factory

Starting a new project feels like planting a seed. I once witnessed a factory grow from the very first pencil lines on paper into a strong steel structure. The fascinating part was that all this success came from those early design discussions. When everyone sat down, adjusting even the smallest details, the future of the project was already being shaped.

I share this as a reminder: never underestimate the design phase, because it’s the true “root” of a successful project.

“Just got your foundation design stamped? Or stuck midway due to new regulations? ✍️

👉 Decree 175/2024 now clarifies the legal pathway:

• Survey → foundation design → appraisal/approval → construction permit.

• If no change to the main structural solution, old designs are still valid.

• Facing weak soil? Check TCVN 9362 for ground treatment methods.

Apply correctly for durability and efficiency.”

🔍 Key Legal Updates (Decree 175/2024/NĐ‑CP)

• Decree 175/2024, effective from late 2024, provides detailed guidance on design, appraisal, and approval of construction designs (including foundations) under the 2014 Construction Law and the 2020 amended version.

• Foundation design is part of the technical design after the basic design stage and must follow the process: survey → design → appraisal → approval → permitting, under the authority of provincial People’s Committees or the Ministry of Construction.

• If the basic design was approved before the decree took effect, and the structural solution (including foundation) remains unchanged, it can still be used without re‑appraisal.

• Design adjustments that do not change the main structural solution (e.g. the type of foundation) may be appraised by the investor. But if the main structural solution changes, re‑appraisal is mandatory.

🧱 Key Foundation Design Guidelines

• Must comply with TCVN 14177‑1:2024 (concrete structures) and TCVN 9362:2012 (foundation design).

• Geotechnical survey is mandatory: soil type, density, bearing capacity, and choice between isolated, strip, raft, or pile foundations.

• Three bases of design: geotechnical & hydrographic survey, climate conditions, and experience from similar projects.

• The foundation drawing must include: dimensions, depth, construction method, materials, and soil treatment solutions (if ground is weak).
