Comprehensive Support for Hirochiku Group's First Factory Project in Vietnam, from Tender Support through PM and Construction Supervision

In July 2026, the "HIROCHIKU FACTORY PROJECT" was successfully completed at Phu My 3 Specialized Industrial Park in Tan Phuoc Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (formerly Phu My City, Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province). HIROCHIKU ASIA VIETNAM CO., LTD. is the Vietnamese subsidiary of Hirochiku Co., Ltd., which provides a wide range of services including the construction of industrial furnaces and incinerators, refractory works, and plant construction. The Vietnamese subsidiary was established in August 2024.

Plus PM Vietnam ("PPMV") joined the project in 2024 and provided comprehensive support for Hirochiku Group's first new factory project in Vietnam, covering tendering and selection of the design-build contractor following the conclusion of the land contract, design management, and project management (PM) and Construction Supervision (CS) during the construction stage.

During the construction stage in particular, PPMV acted as the Client's construction consultant. In addition to daily construction monitoring by on-site staff, PPMV's back-office engineers reviewed drawings and related documents, monitored the construction schedule, and conducted regular site audits. Where discrepancies with the design documents or the Client's requirements were identified, or where quality concerns arose, PPMV coordinated with the contractor and requested the necessary actions and corrective measures. PPMV also supported the Client's decision-making regarding changes during the project.

Through these PM and CS services, PPMV supported the appropriate implementation of the Japanese Client's requirements in the construction work in Vietnam and helped establish a project management framework that enabled the Client to maintain visibility over quality and schedule throughout the project. PPMV manages factory construction and other construction projects in Vietnam from the Client's perspective, with a particular focus on quality and schedule. Whether working with Japanese or local general contractors, PPMV supports the appropriate implementation of Japanese clients' requirements in local design and construction, taking into account the project characteristics and each contractor's organizational structure, to help clients achieve better value from their construction investment .
