Overcoming numerous difficulties along with challenges, in 2025 the construction sector in Dak Lak province made concerted efforts aimed at basically fulfilling the assigned targets plus tasks, thereby laying an important foundation ahead of entering 2026 with a spirit marked by proactive adaptation, innovation as well as stronger determination.

Notably, the construction sector played a core role in providing policy advice for, and organising, the implementation phase of the “Quang Trung Rapid Campaign”. Within housing development, the sector actively put forward proposals regarding the rollout of key projects, thereby contributing toward realisation of the scheme aimed at building at least one million social housing units.

Efforts will continue to tighten management regarding construction order, particularly within central urban areas, architectural as well as landscape conservation zones, alongside locations facing landslide risks. Provincial leaders have requested the sector examine a transition from manual inspection toward real-time data-based monitoring, apply technology for early incident warnings, and establish mechanisms enabling receipt of feedback from citizens plus businesses via digital platforms.
