A construction project is a designed product made up of labors, materials, and installations in the project positioned on the ground and may include the underground and ground section, and the section in water or on the water surface. It is a civil, industrial, transport, agricultural and rural development, infrastructure, or some other. A key phase in the life cycle of these construction projects is the implementation when building products are made directly with workers, equipment, materials, and managers. If there is a lack of management experience, information, and problem-solving solutions to tackle the risks faced by contractors, especially foreign ones, will fail in controlling the project’s cost. This study was conducted with investigations, discussions, and evaluation of the factors that lead to cost overruns in the construction projects of international contractors in Vietnam. The principal component analysis (PCA) showed that those factors that influence cost overruns these construction projects fall into five general groups, including factors related to (i) the owners, (ii) the foreign contractors, (iii) the subcontractors and suppliers, (iv) state management, and (v) the project itself. Besides, the study proposes solutions to limit cost overruns in construction projects and improve the profitability of international contractors in Vietnam.

The purpose of this study is to measure the cost-benefit of a road construction project in Vietnam through international development cooperation, which includes private grants and Official Development Assistance(ODA). In developing countries, it is difficult and costly to use data on markets, the CVM(Contingent Valuation Method) to measure the WTP(Willingness-to-Pay) as the benefits of road construction are used. A total of 232 villagers in 16 villages of Lao Cai Province in Northern Vietnam have been surveyed. It is found that the Benefit-Cost Ratio(B/C) in all 3 models are found to be well over 1.0, ranging from 2.8 to 3.64 with the discount rate of 0.06. These BC ratios imply the road construction project in Lao Cai can be justified. Also, it is found that the shortened travel time is the most relevant factor for WTP among direct benefits and the enhanced academic achievement of the children is the most relevant factor among indirect benefits, due to easier and faster access to schools, which in turn increase the school attendance rate. The result of this study can be used to justify other similar projects in Vietnam, even though the benefits may have to be reassessed in other countries.

본 연구에서는 건설폐기물의 발생단계, 즉 건축물의 신축이나 해체현장에 투입하여 활용할 수 있는 이동식 혼합건설폐기물 분리･선별 장치를 개발하였으며, 이를 활용하였을 때 예상되는 건설폐기물 처리비용의 변화를 분석하였다. 이동식 혼합건설폐기물 분리･선별 장치는 1일 8시간 작업기준으로 16 ton의 혼합건설폐기물을 처리할 수 있게 설계하였다. 주요 처리시스템으로는 트롬멜을 사용하였으며, 1차적으로 무기물질과 유기물질로 분리･선별한 후, 무기물질은 다시 재활용 용도의 효율성을 고려하여 입형별로 15 mm 이하, 15~30 mm, 30 mm 이상으로 구분하여 분리할 수 있게 하였다. 유기물질 또한 1차적으로 무기물질과 분리･선별된 후 최종적으로 폐목재와 기타 가연성물질로 분리할 수 있도록 제작되었다. 이와 같은 사양을 가진 이동식 혼합건설폐기물 분리선별 장치의 제작비는 제작사별로 일부 차이가 있겠지만 1대당 약 75,000천원으로 산정되었으며 연간유지관리비는 약 101,600천원으로 책정되었다. 해체현장을 대상으로한 혼합건설폐기물의 처리 비용변화를 살펴보면, 현행 톤당 35,526원 이었으나 본 장치를 활용할 경우에는 장치 제작비 및 운영에 소요되는 비용과 재활용 처리비용까지 포함하면 51,480원으로 기존 처리방식 대비 약 45%가 증가하게 된다. 따라서 자원의 실질 재활용율을 높이고자 하는 측면에서는 오히려 현행의 매립비용의 상승이 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 영국의 사례와 같이 매립비용을 고형연료화 등의 자원 재활용 비용보다 높게 책정하여 시장에서의 자원재활용율을 높이는 정책적인 지원이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study is necessity for waterproofing construction using a Life Cycle Cost(LCC). On the purpose of expanding the technology to build and optimize leakage prevention design reasonable selection of center performance evaluation system and possible economic evaluation system.
