I. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. This Circular guides the
adjustment of cost estimates for the volumes performed from January 1, 2008,
under state-funded works or bidding packages (referred to as work construction
cost estimates) for which the investment deciders have not yet decided to
switch the management of work construction investment expenditures under the

Work construction investment
projects funded with other capital sources are encouraged to apply regulations

2. Work construction cost
estimates formulated using construction, installation and construction survey
unit prices set by provinces or centrally run cities on the basis of wage
scales of the wage table A.1.8 promulgated together with the Government's
Decree No. 205/2004/ND-CP of December 14, 2004, with the minimum wage level of
VND 450.000/month, will be adjusted as prescribed in the Appendix to this
Circular.
3. For works for which separate
unit prices or machine-shift costs have been formulated using the minimum wage

construction investment projects implemented under the Government's Decree No.
99/2007/ND-CP of June 13, 2006, on management of work construction investment
expenditures, investors shall use contingency funds for price increase to
adjust the expenditure structure in the work construction cost estimates.
II. SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Work construction cost estimates
formulated using construction unit prices set by provinces or centrally run
cities on the basis of the minimum wage level of VND 450,000 per month and wage
scales in the wage table promulgated together with the Government's Decree No.
205/2004/ND-CP of December 14, 2004, are adjusted as follows:
1. Adjustment of construction
cost estimates
1.1. Adjustment of labor
expenses
Labor expenses in construction
cost estimates formulated using local construction unit prices will be
multiplied by an adjustment coefficient (KDC NC) in conformity with
the adjustment of the common minimum wage level or region-based minimum wage
level.
The adjustment coefficient (KDC
NC) is determined as being equal to the new minimum wage level or region-based
minimum wage level divided by the minimum wage level used for unit price
calculation (VND 450,000/month).
1.2. Adjustment of construction
machine expense
Construction machine expenses in
construction cost estimates formulated using local construction unit prices
will be multiplied by an adjustment coefficient (KDC MTC) in
conformity with the adjustment of the common minimum wage level, region-based
minimum wage level and fuel and energy prices in January 2008.

According to the above-said
principle, the coefficient (KDC MTC) for adjustment of construction
machine expenses in construction expense estimates made by provinces and centrally
run cities will comply with the enclosed Appendix. The coefficient applicable
to provinces or cities with a particular construction structure will be decided
by provincial/municipal People's Committees.
For works which are built in
lines running through several provinces or centrally run cities for which
separate machine-shift price tables have been formulated, investors shall
calculate and report adjustment coefficients to investment deciders for
decision.
1.3. Expenses calculated in
proportion (%) to construction cost estimates

common expenses, pre-calculated taxable incomes, value added tax amounts,
expenses for makeshift houses at construction sites for accommodation or
construction administration as prescribed.
2. Some other expenses
Expenses such as those for
management of work construction investment projects, project elaboration and
construction work designing are calculated in a percentage (%) as prescribed.
Labor expenses in construction
survey cost estimates will be adjusted using an adjustment coefficient (KDC
NCKS) prescribed in Table 2 in the Appendix to this Circular.
Particularly, pre-tax cost estimates
for elaboration of urban construction planning will be determined on the basis
of the construction planning expense limits promulgated together with the
Construction Minister's Decision No. 06/2005/QD-BXD of February 3, 2005,
