Going Global in Vietnam: 80 Senior Architects & Project Managers Reveal the Secrets of Office Fit-Out in Vietnam

Company News

Kunity’s local execution team in Vietnam consists of over 80 senior architects, engineers, and project managers, with strategic offices in both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. We have delivered more than 150 office projects across Vietnam, and our database covers over 2,000 Grade A, B, and C office buildings. We provide you with professional insights into office interior design and construction in Vietnam.

Establishing an office in Vietnam often involves a far more complex interior fitting process than companies expect. Unlike the domestic market, office fitout in Vietnam requires not only space design and construction but also simultaneous compliance with multiple requirements, including fire safety approval (PCCC) and building management board (BMB) inspections. Any oversight in these processes can lead to project delays and disrupt normal business operations.

1. Professional Breakdown: Full Office Fitout Process in Vietnam

Stage 1. Pre-Project Planning & Concept DesignRequirement Definition & Site Survey:

(1) In-depth consultation on functional needs, with on-site measurement and condition assessment.

(2) Space Planning & Visual Presentation: Optimize spatial flow with functional layout plans and visualize the design style via 3D renderings.

(3) Technical Documentation: Complete detailed construction drawings to provide precise guidance for subsequent works.

Stage 2. Pre-Construction Preparation & Site Mobilization

(1) Safety Training & Inspection: On-site safety inspections and operational procedure training.

(2) Site Protection: Covering and barricading to protect public areas.

(3) Setting Out & Marking: Floor marking and initial acceptance to ensure strict alignment between design and actual site.

Stage 3. Construction Implementation & Process Management

(1) Phased Construction & Inspection: Carry out construction works with staged inspections and testing at each stage.

(2) Transparent Reporting: Daily construction progress reports to keep clients fully informed.

(3) Client Approval System: Key milestones require client approval before proceeding, ensuring quality meets expectations.

Stage 4. Fire Safety System Approval & Inspection (PCCC)

Fire approval is a critical part of fitout projects in Vietnam, and Kunity’s local team has mature experience in this process:

(1) Document Submission & Filing: Submit documents to PC07 (Vietnam Fire Department) at the start of construction. Approval runs in parallel with construction, typically taking 30–60 days (depending on project scale).

(2) On-site Inspection: Government officials conduct on-site inspection approximately 7–10 days after construction completion.

(3) Certification & Handover: The official Fire Safety Inspection Certificate is issued via the public service portal about 15–20 days after passing inspection.

Stage 5. Completion, Handover & Property AcceptanceJoint Acceptance & Training:

(1) Final inspection with the client and provision of equipment operation guides.

(2) Building Management Board (BMB) Approval: All internal construction must be reviewed and approved by the BMB before the space can be officially put into use.
