2. With respect to a particular construction project, calculation of all or some indices stated in clause 1 of this Article shall depend on purposes and requirements of administration of investment and construction expenses.

Article 3. Principles for determination and administration of construction price indices

1. Once already being determined, a construction price index must reflect any fluctuation in local market prices in a fair and appropriate manner.

2. Determination and public disclosure of construction price indices must be timely and conformable to regulations on administration of construction investment expenses.

3. It shall be obliged that a particular list and quantity of representative construction works are defined before calculation and public disclosure of a construction price index.

4. A construction price index is calculated according to a mean formula during the specified period of time without taking into account several costs of compensation, support and resettlement, lending interest incurred during construction period and initial outlay. A construction price index is expressed in percent (%).

5. Cost structure used for calculation of construction price indices must correspond to the cost structure covered by regulations on administration of construction investment expenses, be based on statistical data and be used in a stable manner until there is any change in a benchmark point of time.

6. Management and use of construction price indices must comply with regulations related to management of construction investment expenses.

7. During the process of determining price indices, entities specialized in construction need to carry out review and assessment of these price indices by using information about those of adjacent regions or localities in order to ensure they adapt to tendencies of fluctuation in the regional market and there is none of great difference between local price indices.

2. In order to determine a price index for use in a particular construction project, the project owner shall rely on progress and conditions for implementation of that project to decide on the proper benchmark or comparison point of time.

Article 6. Listing of construction work or project classifications and selection of input cost factors

1. Quantifying and listing out classifications of construction works and projects by their types before publication thereof shall be subject to administration requirements, regulations on administration of investment and construction projects as well as construction investment expenses, and particular characteristics of local construction projects. Provincial-level People’s Committees shall rely on the Classification List of construction works or projects in Appendix 3 hereto to decide to choose the classification list of construction works or projects as subjects of calculation of construction price indices to be publicized within their remit.

2. In order to calculate a construction price index for a type of construction work or project, it shall be obliged that construction works or projects typical for such type must be chosen. The number of construction works or projects typical for a building type shall be determined, depending on particular local conditions, but shall not be less than 3. Typical construction works or projects are those commonly developed out of others of the same type at a locality.

3. If a price index is determined for a particular construction work or project, such work or project is a typical one.

4. Typical input cost factors are costs of main building materials, labor and machinery used by a single construction work or project, or construction works or projects of the same type. Main building materials, labor or machines are selected for the purpose of calculation of construction price indices according to the principles in which costs thereof must be greater in proportion than costs of corresponding ones used for construction works or projects (80% in total).

Article 7. Collection and processing of data and figures needed for calculation of construction price indices

1. Requirements concerning collection of data and figures needed for determination of cost structures:

a) Data about construction investment expenses, including total investment, cost estimates, finalization of construction investment costs incurred upon completion of construction works or projects (if any), which obtain approval must include expense-related entries and accounts.

2. Requirements concerning information about market prices of input factors:

a) Costs of building materials: Building material costs shall be calculated as per Ministry of Construction’s Circulars providing instructions on computation and administration of construction investment expenses. Building materials qualified to be listed as input values for use in calculation of construction price indices must be identical in terms of their types, formations and product markings or labels. As for calculation of construction price indices for construction works, building material costs shall be the same as those specified in local notices. If there is none of such local notices, these costs shall be market costs which are relevant to construction sites and appropriate in terms of types, formations, markings and labels of building materials used in these construction works, and conform to requirements concerning determination of building material costs in accordance with Ministry of Construction’s Circulars providing instructions on determination and administration of construction investment expenses.

b) Construction labor costs shall be calculated according to unit labor costs publicized by provincial-level People’s Committees. If there is none of public notices of such unit labor costs from provincial-level People’s Committees, construction labor costs shall be determined according to the method of determination of construction labor cost that is specified in the Ministry of Construction’s instructions.

c) Building machinery and equipment cost per shift may be determined according to machinery costs per shift, or costs of hiring of building machines and equipment, which are publicized by provincial-level People’s Committees. If there is none of public notices of the latter from provincial-level People’s Committees, the former shall be determined according to the method of determination of building machinery and equipment costs per shift that is specified in the Ministry of Construction’s instructions. Machines and equipment qualified to be listed as input values for calculation of construction price indices must be identical in terms of their type, capacity and origin.

3. Processing of data used for calculation of construction price indices:

a) Processing of figures and data used for determination of cost structure: Processing of collected data and figures shall include review, checking and correction of data, figures and estimated cost structure. Figures related to estimated cost structures must be converted according to the estimated cost structures regulated at the benchmark point of time. Data on total investment, cost estimate and final accounts of costs incurred upon completion of construction and investment projects (if any) must be converted to price levels determined at benchmark points of time.

b) Processing of information about input costs: Collected figures and data pertaining to input costs must be checked, reviewed and corrected in the following specific regulations: Costs of input materials of different kinds must be checked to ensure conformity in terms of their types, formations, markings and labels. Costs of input labor of different kinds must be checked to ensure conformity in terms of construction labor classes and ranks. Costs of machinery and equipment of different kinds per shift must be checked to ensure conformity in terms of their type, capacity and origin.

Article 8. Methods of calculation and determination of construction price indices
