In early December, Hoa Binh Construction Group Joint Stock Company (the contractor for the Capital Square 3 Urban Area project) reported on a sinkhole on Nguyen Cong Tru Street, Da Nang. By 4:00 p.m. on December 8, all work to fix the problem and restore the status of drainage culverts, roadbeds and road surfaces had been 100% completed.
However, up to now, affected households are still waiting for compensation plans.
According to Ms. Phan Thi Lua, a resident on Nguyen Cong Tru Street, her family's house is threatened by large cracks on the floor and beams. The strong shaking from the construction site at night made her afraid of the safety of the project, forcing her to evacuate to her daughter's house to take shelter. More worryingly, this situation will probably last until the time of Tet, causing all plans to repair and renovate houses to be delayed.
Sharing the same concern, Ms. Nguyen Thi Van reflected that the construction unit has repeatedly recorded the current state of damage but has not yet had a specific solution. According to Ms. Van, although the contractor's representative mentioned organizing a dialogue meeting with households, up to now, the people have not received an official notice.
Mr. Nguyen The Vinh, another resident on Nguyen Cong Tru Street, said that the contractor and the functional unit have set a time frame of March next year - the time to complete the foundation of the project - to conduct a comprehensive inspection and propose a compensation plan.
Mr. Vinh further explained that the process started from people submitting petitions to the Ward People's Committee for specialized agencies to coordinate in implementing. According to him, waiting for the foundation to be completed to settle compensation is to avoid further damage during the construction process, ensuring the completeness of the documents. However, he also expressed concern about safety issues when construction equipment such as cranes often reach out to residential areas throughout the project implementation process.
According to Lawyer Le Xuan Canh, Executive Director of CTTT and Associates Law Firm (Da Nang City Bar Association), to request compensation, collecting evidence is the top priority step.
According to Article 589 of the Bank for Industry and Trade, people who are damaged by violated assets have the right to request compensation for items such as damaged or destroyed property values; benefits associated with the use of lost or impaired assets and reasonable costs to prevent, limit and remedy the damage.
Therefore, vehicle owners who are automobiles can request compensation for repair costs, rescue costs and costs arising from travel and travel during the vehicle repair period... Vehicle owners need to collect and store documents and payment invoices as a basis for compensation requests.
As for people with cracked and sunken houses and construction works, it is necessary to proactively take photos and record videos to record the current damage in detail and contact a specialized construction unit to assess the damage, solutions and costs to overcome the damage.
