In which there is a section on supervision costs for these equipment items determined according to the percentage norm of equipment installation supervision costs issued in Table 2.22 attached to Circular No. 12/2021/TT-BXD mentioned above.

In case it is not in accordance with regulations, he proposed that the Ministry of Construction soon provide guidance on how to determine the estimate for the supervision of these equipment so that localities have a basis to implement the management of construction investment costs to ensure current regulations.
The Ministry of Construction answers this question as follows:
According to Clause 39, Article 3 of the 2014 Construction Law:
Equipment installed on a construction site includes construction equipment and technology equipment. Construction equipment is equipment installed on a construction site according to a construction design. Technology equipment is equipment located in a technology line installed on a construction site according to a technology design.
Thus, for construction investment projects with parts of equipment installed on the project according to the design, the cost of monitoring and installing equipment is determined according to the provisions at point 8.3, item 8, chapter II, part II, Appendix No. VIII of Circular No. 12/2021/TT-BXD of the Minister of Construction on promulgating construction norms.
