During the renovation (fit-out) process of an existing factory, compliance with legal regulations is not only mandatory but also an important factor in ensuring safety and efficiency for the project. Below is a detailed guide on the procedures and necessary documentation for applying for a renovation construction permit (fit-out) for factories in Vietnam.

Ensure that the factory renovation project does not impact the surrounding environment by obtaining an environmental permit from the environmental management authority.

The decision on investment project approval is evidence that the investor accepts and authorizes the implementation of the factory renovation (fit-out) project.
- Design Documentation (Architectural, Structural) Reviewed by a Third Party:
Ensure that the design documentation has been reviewed by an independent third party to ensure objectivity and quality of the project.
- Design Justification:
The documentation should include detailed justifications for the selected design options and the reasons for those selections.
- Third-Party Design Review Report:
A report from a third-party reviewing the design ensures that the proposed solutions are reasonable and reliable.
