An effective park site visit must run on a structured checklist instead of the sales team’s guided route, because the most expensive problems usually sit outside the prepared itinerary. Management usually faces this question only after the event, while the cheapest handling always lies in file preparation and a compliance calendar from the year’s start.
Legal basis to settle first
In principle, each procedure in the project chain has its own statutory processing time: investment under Investment Law 143/2025/QH15 (replacing Law 61/2020/QH14 from 01/3/2026), construction under Construction Law 50/2014/QH13 as amended in 2020 and Decree 15/2021/ND-CP, fire protection under Fire Prevention and Rescue Law 55/2024/QH15, and environment under Environmental Protection Law 72/2020/QH14. Real total time exceeds the sum of statutory limits because files run sequentially and depend on each other; the enterprise should build a critical-path schedule from the site-survey stage.
Applying the rules to your project
- The 30-point checklist splits into six groups of five foundation checks. The six groups are land legality, technical infrastructure, environment and fire protection, labor and living, contract commerce, and operating risk; each group’s five checks can be verified by documents or on-site observation in one trip.
- Questions for the developer must force document-and-figure answers. Open questions like whether infrastructure is good only draw marketing answers; right questions ask for spare capacity, 12-month incident counts, legal document lists and milestones that can enter the contract.
- Warning signs include file avoidance and contradictions between sources. A developer unable to produce the land allocation decision, avoiding operating figures or answering differently from current tenants are red flags; good parks proactively introduce existing tenants for the newcomer to interview.
Recommended actions for the enterprise
- Print the checklist as a scoring form, carry the park map and require the developer to answer each point in writing after the trip.
- Prepare figure-based question lists per checklist group in advance and minute the answers on site.
- Cross-check every important item from at least two independent sources before shortlisting the park.
Conclusion for decision-makers
On 30-point site visit checklist industrial parks before lease signing, enterprises lose most not because the law is unfavorable but because they discover the problem late; a periodic review calendar costs far less than crisis handling.
