Mechanical and Electrical Construction Quotation 2025: Detailed Analysis and Updates

The quotation for Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) construction is a crucial factor in construction planning, providing detailed information about labor and materials costs for electrical and plumbing projects.

M&E construction pricing per m2

Determining the pricing per m2 helps optimize labor costs in the installation of M&E systems. For new construction projects with directly adhered wiring, costs range from 160,000 to 180,000 VND/m2. When using rigid conduits, the price may start at 180,000 VND/m2. These figures provide a reference base, especially in residential electrical projects, where labor and material costs play a key role.

Electrical and Plumbing Installation and detailed pricing

Electrical and plumbing installation is a vital aspect when constructing M&E projects in Vietnam. The construction price, assisting in labor cost optimization, can vary depending on the type of project and applied construction method.

• Installation and repair of completed electrical systems: Current electrical system repairs cost about 60,000 VND/m2 for labor only. New wiring installations cost 75,000 VND/m2, focusing on labor without materials and VAT.
• Installation of completed electrical and plumbing systems: Completing new electrical and plumbing installations reach 160,000 VND/m2, considering labor only, excluding materials and VAT.
• New house electrical installations: Costs may rise to 220,000 VND/m2 for complete new setups, excluding materials and VAT.

Pricing by construction method

• Directly adhered wall wiring: This method is priced at 100,000 VND/m2, dependent on actual conditions.
• Wiring through spiral plastic conduits (flexible tubing): More convenient and flexible, this raises costs slightly to 110,000 VND/m2.
• Wiring through rigid plastic conduits: Provides the best protection quality but can cost up to 135,000 VND/m2.

Construction pricing for completed plumbing per room starts at 2,000,000 VND/room, excluding VAT. For repairs or replacement of old pipes, costs may reach 2,600,000 VND/room.

Reference pricing for M&E systems

The construction price for M&E systems by project type must be scrutinized closely. New constructions with direct wiring range from 160,000 to 180,000 VND/m2. For rigid conduit applications, costs can vary from 180,000 to 200,000 VND/m2. These prices encompass systems such as electrical, plumbing, cable television, and internet, not including materials and VAT.

Specific cases may see price adjustments based on project scale, complexity, and geographical areas like Hanoi. Final prices will be adjusted following field surveys to best suit the project.

Whether dealing with electrical wiring or overarching M&E system-related tasks, considering appropriate materials for electrical and plumbing construction is essential for cost-effective management.

Full package price for M&E systems

The full package price, including both materials and labor, is a flexible choice for electrical and plumbing projects. For instance, residential electrical installations with simple devices like fluorescent bulbs start at 150,000 VND/m2. Complete M&E systems in smaller spaces like individual homes optimize process and resources.

Full package electrical and plumbing construction pricing

The pricing for full package M&E systems is divided based on quality levels as follows:

• Standard electrical and plumbing systems: 400,000₫/m2
• Good electrical and plumbing systems: 550,000₫/m2
• Premium electrical and plumbing systems: 750,000₫/m2
• Premium plus electrical and plumbing systems: 1,250,000₫/m2

This pricing may vary depending on materials used, design schematics, and the technical complexity of the M&E system. These are popular options in electrical installation services.

Labor costs for electrical and plumbing systems

The labor costs for installing electrical and plumbing systems are determined by the construction form of the project:

• New construction with direct wiring: 160,000 – 180,000₫/m2
• Renovation, repairs with direct wiring: 160,000 – 180,000₫/m2
• New construction with rigid conduit wiring: 180,000 – 200,000₫/m2
• Renovation with rigid conduit wiring: 180,000 – 200,000₫/m2

This labor cost covers the installation of electrical systems, plumbing, cable television, and internet.

Pricing for light electrical systems

Light electrical systems in construction include installation services like networking, cameras, and automation control at a reasonable price:

• Complete adhered wiring installation: 75,000 – 80,000₫/m2
• Complete conduit wire installation: 95,000 – 100,000₫/m2

Opting for light electrical systems is a cost-saving solution suitable for basic installations.

Cost determination by specific plumbing and electrical categories

The table below outlines detailed pricing for each construction category within the electrical and plumbing system:

Construction Category	Unit	Price
Directly adhered wall wiring	m2	100,000₫
Wiring through spiral plastic conduits	m2	110,000₫
Wiring through rigid plastic conduits, wall recessed	m2	135,000₫
Plumbing installation and completion (excluding waterproofing)	room	2,000,000₫
Repair, replacement of old plumbing pipes	room	2,600,000₫

Specific prices will be adjusted after conducting an actual project survey.

Design costs for M&E systems

Designing an M&E system depends on the scale and nature of the project. Different projects like shopping centers, office buildings, apartments, villas, or resorts have tailored pricing to match technical requirements and complexity.

Bathroom Plumbing System Repair

Bathroom plumbing systems often require maintenance or repair to ensure smooth operation. Repair costs range from 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 VND/room, including labor and drainage works. Updating the system helps avoid unexpected incidents, maintaining a healthy living environment for users.

Repairing the bathroom plumbing system is vital for maintaining safety and convenience. Initially, plumbing system surveys are necessary to identify causes of issues such as leaks or blockages. Technicians use advanced detection equipment to avoid unnecessary breakage, optimizing repair processes.

Following the survey, cost estimations and repair proposals for plumbing are presented. Customers must agree on these proposals before proceeding with plumbing system construction. Upon agreement, construction will commence by shutting off the main water supply and safely repairing damaged parts.

Upon repair completion, testing and acceptance of the water system take place. This step is crucial to ensure no errors like leaks or blockages remain. The construction site is cleaned post-repair, and customers receive guidance on usage and maintenance for efficiency.

Methods for repair typically involve two main choices. Using adhesive or tape for minor leaks is cost-effective. For severe damage, replacement or welding of damaged parts ensures long-term durability and efficiency.

Waterproofing the bathroom is an essential step to prevent mold and leaks, thereby maintaining health and keeping the bathroom area dry. Waterproofing methods, either coating or installation, are chosen based on water exposure levels and the area to be treated.

Generally, repairing the plumbing system not only saves costs in the long run but also enhances safety by preventing unforeseen risks in bathrooms.
