EVN sets eight key requirements to improve construction consultancy quality

Overview of EVN’s construction consultancy conference, held on March 13, 2026.

Based on recent implementation, EVN outlined eight key requirements:

1. Prioritize investor interests and overall project efficiency, ensuring accuracy, objectivity, and cost control throughout consultancy activities.

2. Improve the quality of surveys, design, and appraisal, addressing shortcomings in data accuracy and design documentation.

3. Accelerate project preparation, particularly for grid projects, to avoid delays and planning or land clearance issues.

4. Promote the application of science, technology, and digital transformation in consultancy work.

5. Increase the use of specialized software for design, calculation, and project management.

6. Strengthen training and development of high-quality human resources.

7. Develop long-term strategies to enhance the capacity and competitiveness of consultancy units.

8. Improve mechanisms for evaluating consultancy quality, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Chairman Dang Hoang An emphasized that consultancy outputs reflect not only project performance but also the credibility of consulting units, requiring a high level of responsibility and professional integrity.

EVN CEO Nguyen Anh Tuan stressed that unit leadership must take primary responsibility for implementation, while addressing challenges such as rising quality standards, tight project timelines, resource constraints, and the need for greater technology adoption.

EVN also called for stronger coordination among departments, consultancy units, and project management boards to improve processes and minimize risks from the early stages of project development.
