During the period when there is no specific guidance in Circular No. 06/2016/TT-BXD, the determination of general item costs can be applied but must not exceed the general cost level according to the guidance in Circular No. 04/2010/TT-BXD.
Instructions for payment of general item costs
According to Mr. Le Cuong (Hanoi City), when Decree No. 32/2015/ND-CP of the Government on management of construction investment costs took effect (May 10, 2015), the cost of general items was separated into other costs in the budget structure. However, the cost of this general item according to the Decree has not yet been guided in detail for calculation.
Mr. Cuong asked, so from May 10, 2015 until before Circular No. 06/2016/TT-BXD guiding the determination and management of construction investment costs takes effect (May 1, 2016), can the preparation of detailed estimates be applied according to Circular No. 04/2010/TT-BXD and how is the general item cost calculated correctly?
The Ministry of Construction responded to this issue as follows:
The determination of project estimates established after the effective date of Decree No. 32/2015/ND-CP dated March 25, 2015 of the Government on management of construction investment costs is implemented according to the provisions of this Decree.
For general item costs, during the period when there is no specific guidance in Circular No. 06/2016/TT-BXD, the determination of these costs can be applied but not exceeding the general cost level according to the guidance in Circular No. 04/2010/TT-BXD dated May 26, 2010 of the Ministry of Construction guiding the establishment and management of construction investment costs.
