Architect Vo The Duy (CTA | Creative Architects) will guide you through four effective ways to save money on construction costs. Clearly define the necessary space needs First, the homeowner needs to assess the needs of the space used for clarity. In addition to the sleeping space, the kitchen, living room or separate toilet space for each room can be reduced or eliminated depending on the case. Besides determining the space the family really needs, homeowners should think about grouping common spaces (spaces with similar functions together), such as kitchen – dining, or guest – eating, studying. – common activities… The grouping of spaces is valuable when choosing a covering solution. For open spaces, common living, the covering solution can be eliminated, both saving costs and creating a ventilation environment for this area. The less space, the more economical and quick the construction and maintenance. A model of love housing groups spaces, dividing areas that need to be covered and not covered to limit the wall area. Prioritize main space With a tight budget, you should not spread the investment to every space in the house. For example, most Vietnamese people are interested in the living room, so we can invest money for finishing materials or furniture for chairs, tables, lamps… for this area. The remaining spaces such as bedrooms, bathrooms save costs, use sparingly for design. For some individuals who prioritize sleeping space, on the contrary, they will prioritize investment in beds, cabinets, glass doors, lighting… Choose a simple solution, easy construction The simple selection of materials and construction methods will reduce the cost of materials, accompanying construction equipment, quality control, etc. Besides, it also saves construction and travel time. Calculating the optimal use of materials, limiting redundancy is also a way to save construction costs. Wall house (CTA | Creative Architects) uses burnt brick walls – defective products to reuse for facades, reducing costs for materials as well as finishing and maintenance. Take advantage of the available, natural element Using old materials such as bricks, tiles, wood, old doors or using local materials will save money on buying materials and transportation costs. Taking advantage of the surrounding landscape for works with vacant land is also very important. For example, taking advantage of the shade of trees and lakes to get shade and cool the wind.

The Covid-19 rapid test machine is located at Becamex International Hospital, My Phuoc General Hospital, Tan Uyen Town Medical Center to support and increase testing capacity to screen suspected cases. Becamex IDC Corporation signed a contract to support the Covid-19 epidemic prevention fund for Binh Duong province. Earlier, during the launching ceremony of the peak donation campaign to support the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic called by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Binh Duong province, Becamex IDC Corporation donated an amount of VND 25 billion. This money has been used to support epidemic prevention, especially in hot spots and isolation areas in the province. The leader of Binh Duong province said that this epidemic is more complicated and likely to last, so the support of individuals, units and businesses is needed to carry out epidemic prevention work. After launching, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province received nearly 90 billion VND in cash and medical supplies. The province is committed to fully synthesizing donations, making them public and transparent, and using them for the right purposes and achieving practical results. Recently, a number of businesses in Binh Duong had workers infected with Covid-19. To reduce the risk of spreading the disease among workers, for businesses with high risk of infection, the Binh Duong Health Sector will organize screening tests (can use the form of a pool of 10 people/sample). ; at the same time, calling on businesses and the province to vaccinate all workers with Covid-19 vaccine.

Using the bracelet to manage people in Covid-19 isolation. Emphasizing that the need for isolation monitoring in Vietnam is very large and urgent, the Ministry of Information and Communications pointed out that it is necessary to soon introduce digital technology solutions to implement automatic monitoring, improve monitoring efficiency, and reduce the load on staff. isolation areas and functional forces. In the world, there are a number of countries that have exported solutions to monitor quarantined subjects. But the Ministry of Information and Communications believes that using available foreign solutions will lead to many limitations in mastering and customizing to suit the Vietnamese context. Buying foreign solutions is also dependent on the production capacity of partners, which can significantly affect Vietnam’s Covid-19 prevention and control plan. Through the survey, Vietnamese enterprises now also have solutions (owning technology and data stored in Vietnam) and sufficient production capacity, ready to deploy on a large scale in a short time. Proposing an option to apply a dedicated bracelet to manage people, the Ministry of Information and Communications said that this device uses GPS technology to record locations, the battery runs for 30 days, has Can send an alert if vandalism is detected or out of the quarantine area. The Ministry of Information and Communications proposed that the National Steering Committee on Covid-19 Prevention and Control assign the Ministry to assume the prime responsibility for, and direct a number of domestic enterprises to research, produce and test using the socialization budget. It is expected that the time to research and customize the product to suit the requirements and mass production in large quantities is about 4 weeks after the technical plan and policy is approved. Currently, the solution of using specialized bracelets in the prevention of Covid-19 has been applied by a number of countries and territories around the world. The two main functions of the dedicated bracelet are: Proximity detection based on Bluetooth low energy technology (with the same operating mechanism as tracing applications); Compliance checking of subjects undergoing mandatory medical isolation based on GPS positioning technology. The use of a dedicated bracelet will overcome some disadvantages such as: Users do not have or cannot use smartphones, users actively turn off Bluetooth or GPS, users do not carry smartphones with them or turn off smartphones. Depending on the needs and methods of epidemic prevention and control of each country and territory, the use of bracelets with either or both of the above technologies is prescribed. For example, Singapore has put into use both close contact detection equipment and equipment to support mandatory isolation monitoring.

Mr. Vu Anh Minh, Chairman of the Board of Members Railway Corporation Vietnam (VNR) has just issued an urgent petition to the Prime Minister “calling for help” on issues related to the development of a National Project on management, use and exploitation of railway infrastructure assets. The State invests and the allocation of resources for management and maintenance of real estate assets.

From 1955 to now, VNR is the only 100% state-owned enterprise established by the State with the purpose of assigning the management, exploitation, use and direct trading of all railway infrastructure assets. (KCHTĐS) in the form of excluding capital components in the enterprise.

VNR leaders said that with 3,143 km of railways going through 34 provinces and cities, in the absence of funding for the management of real estate assets, VNR has organized an asset management system from the General level. companies to member units and joint stock companies with dominant capital contribution.

Up to this point, due to the long and unusual effects of the Covid-19 epidemic as well as the construction of an investment package of VND7,000 billion belonging to medium-term capital, in single track conditions, both train and construction. , The railway industry is in a very difficult period.

Along with that, according to Mr. Vu Anh Minh, problems with funding for the maintenance of national real estate infrastructure in 2021 have not been resolved according to the direction of the Prime Minister, 20 companies perform the task of system maintenance. The national real estate infrastructure currently does not have the budget to buy materials to put into the project, regular expenses and especially to pay employees in the first 4 months of 2021, seriously affecting the lives of nearly 25,000 workers in the VNR. .

“The high risk is that 11,315 workers on the road patrol, bridge week, tunnel patrol, guarding the crossroads … will quit their jobs because they have no income. This issue has pushed businesses to the end, difficult to sustain. until the end of April 2021 “- President of VNR stated in the petition.

According to VNR, the project on management and use of national railway infrastructure assets submitted by the Ministry of Transport (MOT) to the Prime Minister up to this point continues to create many levels of management intermediaries, many administrative procedures. in the management, maintenance and exploitation of real estate assets, increasing licensing, and approving the subproject (sub-license). In particular, it is still proposed a mechanism to assign cost estimates for maintenance to the Vietnam Railway Administration (the agency only performs the advisory function under the Ministry of Transport and does not manage the assets of the real estate infrastructure).

“The proposal of the Ministry of Transport in the Project not only fails to overcome difficulties and problems in production and business activities, but also causes a lot of stagnation and congestion for VNR, pushing businesses to the risk of bankruptcy. , the risk of eliminating railway transport in the transportation system “- VNR leader said.

According to the VNR leader, in order to manage and maintain the assets of the national real estate infrastructure, VNR must organize a comprehensive and coherent human resources system from the parent company to the base units along the railway lines with a total of 11,315 employees were employed, including: 1,241 workers in bridge, road, and tunnel patrol; 915 indirect workers; 6,278 workers perform maintenance and quality control of maintenance work and 2,881 workers guarding the crossroads to ensure safe train operation.

Meanwhile, at present, the organizational apparatus of the Vietnam Railways Administration has only over 100 staff members (most of them are officers of the railway office and the railway traffic safety inspection force), so if the plan is implemented according to the Project, the Ministry As proposed by transportation, VNR still has to fully allocate the above 11,315 human resources to perform the tasks of asset management and the maintenance of national railway infrastructure assets.

“VNR will become an intermediary agency to delay, cause congestion in the process of maintenance and operation of transportation, directly affecting train safety” – VNR leader explained.

Based on the provisions of relevant laws, international experience and especially the practice of managing and operating operations, VNR believes that the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister have chaired meetings with Ministries many times. , departments to analyze the legal basis and have the conclusions and announcements. The Ministry of Justice also appraised the legality in Document No. 193 / BTP-PLDSKT dated January 22, 2021, which confirmed that the delivery of KCHTDS assets and cost estimate for maintenance to VNR Corporation is correct. current laws (including the State Budget Law).

From the above explanations, the Chairman of the Board of Members of VNR sincerely proposes to the Government, the Prime Minister to: Direct the Ministry of Transport to seriously, fully implement the direction of the Prime Minister in the document. 1956 / VPCP-CN dated March 24, 2021 on the management, use and exploitation of national real estate assets.

VNR also proposed to the Prime Minister to direct the Ministry of Transport to continue to assign estimates of economic causes for the management and maintenance of national real estate assets for the period from 2021 onwards to VNR as in previous years.
