Factors Influencing Benefits of Projects

Most construction projects begin with recognition of a need for a new facility. Long before designers start preparing drawings and certainly well before field construction can commence, considerable thought must go into broad-scale planning. Elements of this phase include conceptual analyses, technical and economic feasibility studies, and environmental impact report.

Mr. Dang Viet Cuong made a study to address the limited factors affecting the economic efficiency in the work of the project feasibility study and proposals, solutions to ensure effective project. Including the issues such as the follows:

-  Select location and content requirements of the Project Owner

-  Market Research Project

-  Solutions of design

-  The related costs

His thesis deeply analyzed how the plans of design influence to efficiency of the project and make appropriate recommendations, and adjustments to ensure the economics of the project. The purpose of the research is to systematize the implement of setting up the investment projects started from the selection of location, market research, solution design and construction measures for the purpose of ensuring economic efficiency project.

Conclusion

Based on the market studies of this project, requirements of investors as well as the solution design, the difficulties and advantages of the project are evaluated as follows:

Difficulties:

-   The efficiency of hotel investment project is low.

-  The Scale of works is large and complex, so process requires well-organized of security, sanitation, management.

-  Features links between building blocks reduce privacy and about the process for green to win.

-  The costs of maintaining the fitness center, swimming pool and sauna will be very high: Costs of swimming pool maintenance, costs of sanitary pipe, personnel costs of continuous inspection and maintenance of sanitation in areas.

Advantages:

-  Characteristics of the population: there is area of developed community, higher living conditions.

-  Large scale projects will help to achieve a better deal and reduce maintenance costs per unit area.

-  The ability to combine and save costs if we use and share the system control, security, administration ... between the works together.

-  To ensure the economic efficiency of the project, we should focus on two main issues as follows:

1.         Development orientation of the project:

-  It is necessary to have a scientific and long-term orientation for the entire project in accordance with the assessment, analysis of market demand to avoid given the subjective, impulsive orientation.

-  This project only made the security design and costing investment but not to set up the business plan and for the restore process. This is very important and must have been studied from the beginning to achieve synchronism for project.

2.         Research the safety design

  The Underground:

-  Redistribute the land boundary between the office block, apartment, hotel (from basement to ground floor) and determine the use of each function areas.

-  Review technical planning area, M & E.

-  Divide the number of parking spaces to fit over the block.

  The Hotel:

-  Change of use from hotels to apartments to suit the needs of the market.

  The Office:

-  Necessary to determine a standard office class A or B in order to have adequate choice in types of materials complete

-  Adjust the design to increase the use of performance floor – Office area with the aim of achieving the efficiency 85%.

  The Apartment:

-  Adjust the design to increase the use of performance floor - Apartments aiming to achieve the efficiency 85%.

-  Adjust the structure, proportion and number of apartments to suit the market demand. Specifically reduce the number of large apartments, increase the number of apartments under 120m2 to suit the large segment of the market.

-  Decrease the investment rate to reduce the price, which increase the liquidity to meet the needs and generate greater attention for the product of apartment projects

+ Social investment growth: 17-20%/year.

+ Telephone density: 85-95 telephone/100 people.

+ Scale of population: from 3.6 million to 3.7 million people.

+ Public transport meeting 30-35% people’s demand.

Hanoi is proud to be a wealthy economy, with young & active human resources having great aspiration of their city and country, as well as an environment with more and more increasing encouragement policy though it is still on development.

In the stable economics and consumption development, the need on properties is more and more increasing with remarkable speed. Due to the increasing income, the demands on better accommodation, commodities and recreation goods also increase. The interest of foreign foreign enterprises in making business in Vietnam also more and more increases, especially when Vietnam has become a WTO member. As a result, it leads to the urgent and great demand on high-quality Office, Residence and Hotel.

Therefore, the development of high-grade International-standard senior Hotel, Office and Apartment in Hanoi is very essential and with economic efficiency. By this way, it contributes to bring the comfort to foreign investors to Vietnam, meeting the necessary demand to social life.
