Vilai Viet began collaborating with the Institute of Construction Economics (VKT) in 2021 to train personnel in BIM implementation. Through relentless efforts and overcoming numerous challenges, Vilai Viet has successfully built a proficient BIM team, ready to coordinate with VKT on large-scale projects.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities

BIM, or Building Information Modeling, is a methodology that optimizes the design, construction, and operation of building projects. While BIM is not a new technology globally, in Vietnam back in 2021, not many construction companies were confident in executing BIM projects that met foreign direct investor requirements.

The rising standards of FDI enterprises, coupled with the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Vietnamese construction industry, created an urgent need for transformation. In response, Vilai Viet made a bold decision: to embrace change and grow.

During social distancing, instead of waiting for external conditions to improve, Vilai Viet focused on strengthening internal capabilities, laying the groundwork for further development in the future. The company partnered with the Institute of Construction Economics (VKT), the governing organization of the National BIM Program, to train a specialized BIM team. A group of young engineers from Vilai Viet participated in months of intensive training led by VKT experts, equipping them with the skills to take on complex BIM projects.

Collaborating for Sustainable Success

After a year of intensive training, by 2022, Vilai Viet’s BIM engineering team was officially established and ready to take on new projects. Continuing its partnership with the Institute of Construction Economics (VKT), Vilai Viet successfully collaborated on the ParkCity Mall – The LINC project. The 22,000m² construction was completed with BIM implementation, meeting the investor’s rigorous standards for project management and optimization.

From 2023 onwards, Vilai Viet remained committed to BIM training, providing opportunities for hands-on practice and upskilling its workforce. By 2024, BIM was applied to a ready-built warehouse project for the globally renowned investor Frasers Property. Entering 2025, Vilai Viet has now incorporated BIM into most of our projects, marking a significant transformation in our operational approach.

Through four years of continuous development and overcoming numerous challenges, Vilai Viet has successfully transitioned to meet the demands of top-tier investors. The long-term collaboration with VKT has not only paved the way for a series of successful BIM projects but has also empowered a new generation of engineers at Vilai Viet—fostering a culture of innovation, adaptability, and forward-thinking.

The enduring partnerships with trusted strategic allies have been a key factor in Vilai Viet’s sustainable growth. Always ready for transformation and committed to staying at the forefront of technological advancements, Vilai Viet continues to turn challenges into opportunities, striving for excellence alongside its partners on the journey to sustainable development.
