Delivery models
This page is about general contracting and construction execution: the investor has the design, World Steel builds it.
The owner has completed the design, usually with a design consultant, and appoints World Steel as general contractor to build it. World Steel executes the construction scope of the contract.
Design and construction in one contract
World Steel, or a joint venture or partner, is responsible for both the design and the construction within the scope of the contract.
See this modelEngineering, procurement and construction
Engineering, procurement and construction under the responsibilities agreed in the EPC contract.
See this modelManagement and coordination of construction
World Steel manages and coordinates construction by other contractors, under the corresponding contract model.
Responsibilities follow the contract and the delivery model agreed for each project. Design & Build and EPC have their own pages.
Complete industrial construction scope
Twelve construction packages, each line marked with how World Steel delivers it.
A stable, accessible and drained site before structures start
We prepare the site to the levels, compaction and drainage of the approved design, and set up the access the rest of the works depend on.
Foundations sized for building, crane and equipment loads
We build the foundations shown on the approved drawings, with special care for anchor bolts, equipment and machine foundations that later work depends on.
Concrete structures built and recorded to the drawings
Columns, beams, slabs, walls and platforms built with inspected reinforcement and formwork, tested concrete and proper curing.
World Steel Group owns its steel fabrication facility
Our main structural package: steel made in our own factory, delivered in erection sequence and erected by our site teams. The factory and the site work from the same drawings and schedule.
A weather-tight envelope suited to the climate and the process
Roofing, wall cladding and accessories installed to keep the building dry, ventilated and maintainable in Vietnam’s climate.
Floors designed and built for the loads and traffic of operation
Concrete and finished floors built to the flatness, joints and resistance the process, forklifts and racking need.
Building services installed and tested with the building
MEP installation to the approved design, coordinated with structure and envelope. We take on only scopes that match our actual capability and the legal conditions of each system.
Fire systems by qualified, licensed units
Design, installation and acceptance of fire protection must be carried out by units that meet the conditions of current Vietnamese regulations. World Steel coordinates these units within the construction programme and the building works they depend on.
Process utilities to the plant’s technical requirements
Scope depends on the plant and its technical requirements. High-risk specialist systems are carried out by units with the required capability and legal conditions; World Steel coordinates them with the building works.
Roads, yards and networks that make the site work
External works to the site plan: traffic, drainage and underground networks connected to the industrial park.
Offices and technical rooms ready to use
Finishes for offices, amenities, technical and control rooms inside the industrial building.
A planned close-out, not a last-minute file
Inspection, testing and documentation are planned from mobilisation, so that the facility is handed over with complete records and trained staff.
The marks show the usual arrangement. Your proposal and contract state who performs each item on your project.
Industry-specific construction
Each sector brings its own requirements for the building, the structure, the services and fire safety.
Clean, stable and well-powered production halls
Electronics plants need controlled environments, reliable power and floors that support sensitive equipment.
Building requirements
Heavy halls with cranes and process lines
Automotive and component plants combine large production halls, cranes and heavy foundations.
Building requirements
Hygienic buildings with demanding utilities
Food and beverage plants need hygienic finishes, wash-down areas and dependable water and steam.

Infrastructure and factory buildings for developers
Industrial park developers need infrastructure and standard buildings delivered in phases.
Building requirements
Flexible factory buildings for future tenants
Ready-built factories must suit many tenants: flexible grids, adequate loads and services ready for fit-out.
Building requirements
Standard warehouses ready for logistics tenants
Ready-built warehouses need clear heights, flat floors, docks and fire protection for typical storage.
Building requirements
Building next to a plant that keeps running
Expansions and retrofits are built beside or inside operating plants, so safety, phasing and tie-ins come first.
Building requirements
World Steel manufacturing advantage
The structural steel of your project is made by World Steel, not bought in.
As general contractor with its own fabrication facility, World Steel controls the steel package from shop drawings to erection: production is scheduled with the site, inspected in the factory and delivered in erection sequence.
Figures from World Steel’s company profile, confirmed by the company. Industrial steel structures
Fabrication is planned and controlled by the same company that builds on site.
Inspection under the factory’s certified quality system before steel leaves the factory.
Shop drawings, connections and erection sequence agreed between engineers, factory and site.
From mill certificate to marked member, recorded for the quality dossier.

FAQ
Answers to the questions investors ask most about general contracting.
Schedule a technical consultationAn industrial general contractor builds the facility from the investor’s approved design: it plans and manages the construction, executes its own packages, coordinates specialist subcontractors and hands over the completed facility with its records.
Under general contracting, the design is done by the investor’s design consultant and World Steel builds it. Under Design & Build, World Steel or its partner is also responsible for the design. Both are explained on their own pages.
Yes. We can review the design status, list what is missing for construction, or propose a Design & Build or EPC arrangement if that suits the project better.
The construction scope section marks each item as direct (our own teams and factory), partner (qualified specialist subcontractors under our management) or coordination. Your proposal states the split for your project.
Through prequalification, a defined scope, a subcontract, and monitoring of progress, quality and HSE. They work under World Steel’s site plan and procedures.
Responsibility follows the contract and the delivery model. Where subcontractors are engaged by World Steel, World Steel manages them towards the investor under the main contract.
Fire protection is designed, installed and accepted by units that meet the legal conditions. World Steel coordinates them within the programme; appraisal and acceptance are procedures of the investor with the fire police.
The investor is the applicant for permits and appraisals. We prepare construction records and support the procedures, but we do not approve them.
Each change is recorded with its cost and time impact and goes to the investor for approval before the work is done.
Daily, weekly and monthly reports in the format agreed in the contract, plus the quality dossier and handover records.
Project documents can be in English or bilingual, and your investor desk can support communication in your language.
Drawings and specifications, the BOQ if available, the site location, the target schedule and the scope you want us to take on. The request form on this page asks for these.
