The Minerva villa, constructed in 1927, stands as a testament to timeless elegance and architectural significance.

Our engagement in the Minerva project has afforded us invaluable insights into advising clients on contractor selection, particularly regarding the intricate process of reinstating heritage buildings. This includes collaborating with nominated subcontractors experienced in restoring artwork, such as fresco paintings. Our meticulous approach involves thorough research and understanding of the necessary restoration works, enabling us to provide accurate costing and budgeting for the project. 

Through our dedication to preserving and revitalizing heritage sites, Structon demonstrates its commitment to safeguarding cultural treasures and ensuring their longevity for future generations to enjoy.

Our involvement in hotel and resort projects has been extensive, collaborating with reputable hotel operators such as Marriott International, Hilton, InterContinental Hotel Group, Accor, and Hyatt. Projects with esteemed brands like Crowne Plaza, Pullman, JW Marriott, Park Hyatt, and Banyan Tree showcase our vast experience in the hospitality sector.

In addition to our understanding of each brand’s guidelines and requirements, we also possess comprehensive knowledge of the availability of materials and equipment in the local construction market.

Our comprehensive understanding of infrastructure requirements, coupled with our commitment to excellence, ensures that each project is executed to the highest standards, meeting both client expectations and industry regulations.

Villas and landed houses encompass a wide array of design variations, complexities, and development requirements, all tailored to meet market demands. Despite this diversity, project budgeting remains stringent, adhering closely to client financial plans. Structon has played a pivotal role in numerous outstanding projects, including over 600 landed house projects in Eco Villages and the completion of more than 1000 villas in various projects within Ciputra Hanoi.

From the project’s inception, we actively contribute to establishing designs and maintaining cost control throughout the design phase.

We provide pre-tender estimates that accurately reflect construction values before tendering, ensuring project viability before launch. This process necessitates market insight and continuous cost data to uphold project feasibility and cost-effectiveness, ensuring the success of each endeavor.

Mixed-use and multi-tower projects are a significant part of our portfolio, ranging in construction floor area (CFA) from 100,000m2 to 500,000m2. These projects integrate various functionalities, including residential, commercial, retail, and recreational spaces, into cohesive developments tailored to modern urban living.

Structon has a proven track record of successfully delivering diverse mixed-use and multi-tower projects. For instance, we have contributed to the development of 11 towers at Vinhome Central Park (C1, C2, C3, L1 to L6, and P1), showcasing our expertise in managing complex, multi-phase projects. Additionally, our involvement in high-end developments such as Grand Marina Saigon, JW Marriott, and Marriott underscores our ability to deliver exceptional results in the construction of prestigious multi-tower developments.

Notably, we have collaborated on landmark developments with renowned designers like Foster & Partners, including the Techombank towers in Hanoi (44 Ly Thuong Kiet) and the headquarters in HCMC (23 Le Duan). These projects demand extensive materials knowledge for accurate costing and budgeting, a challenge we adeptly navigate to ensure project success. Structon also boasts extensive experience in the banking sector, with a strong understanding of banking requirements demonstrated through projects such as Techomank in Vietnam and Yoma Bank in Myanmar.

Our company has extensive experience in airport projects, notably including the extension of Tan Son Nhat International Airport. This project presented numerous challenges, particularly in coordinating with various stakeholders such as the international airport consultant JAC, local contractors, and the state-owned department ACV.

Our team navigated these challenges with expertise and dedication, ensuring that our Bill of Quantities (BOQ) not only met international standards but also could be verified and understood by the state-owned department. This involved meticulous attention to detail and clear communication throughout the project lifecycle.

By effectively collaborating with all parties involved and adhering to rigorous quality standards, we successfully contributed to the seamless extension of Tan Son Nhat International Airport, playing a key role in enhancing its infrastructure to meet growing demands and international benchmarks.

Structon played a pivotal role in the development of the Bear Sanctuary in Ba Vi, providing meticulous cost monitoring and control throughout the project. This unique sanctuary spans 30,000m² of semi-natural outdoor enclosure space and features five double bear houses, each containing two rows of concrete dens. The facilities include large outdoor areas equipped with pools, trees, and various play structures designed to aid in bear rehabilitation.

Additionally, the sanctuary boasts a polytunnel area with cages for housing bears recovering from surgery and temporary quarantine housing areas. Designed to receive confiscated bears from wildlife trades or poachers, this facility emphasizes the importance of animal welfare and rehabilitation. Structon’s involvement ensured that the project was completed efficiently, maintaining both budgetary constraints and the high standards required for such a specialized environment.
