Accordingly, the Dong Nai Province Construction Investment Project Management Board requested Hoang Thanh Investment and Trading Joint Stock Company (subcontractor for construction package No. 26) to coordinate with the supervision consultant and the main contractor to review and confirm the completed volume. At the same time, hand over the site for the main contractor to continue implementation. Hoang Thanh Investment and Trading Joint Stock Company fulfilled its contractual obligations between the main contractor and the subcontractor as prescribed.

For the main contractor of construction package No. 26, Tan Nam Joint Stock Company, based on the signed construction contract and contract appendix, the entire unfulfilled volume of the subcontractor must be recovered to implement the construction.
