On 21 August 2026, at the Vietnam Institute for Building Science and Technology (IBST) under Vietnam’s Ministry of Construction, Phu Nguyen Steel and its partners signed a research cooperation agreement on a low-carbon multi-storey prefabricated housing model.
Partners represented at the ceremony included IBST, VTN Partners, Knauf and Dulux Professional, together with Phu Nguyen Steel. The agreement brings research institutes, material suppliers and manufacturers to the same table around one goal: making multi-storey prefabricated housing in Vietnam low-carbon by design.
More than a signing ceremony
For us, this was not simply a signing ceremony. It is an important step in connecting technology, materials, standards and industrialised manufacturing to create a new way of building in Vietnam.
Why multi-storey prefab needs serious research
A multi-storey prefabricated building has to do much more than simply go together on site. It needs rigorous research into structure, materials, durability and performance, and above all into its carbon footprint across the entire building life cycle.
Our contribution
Phu Nguyen Steel is proud to contribute to this journey with our capabilities in G550 light gauge steel framing, industrialised manufacturing and prefabricated construction solutions, developed over two decades at our 20,000 m² ISO 9001:2015 certified factory.
Looking ahead
Today it is a research agreement. But we believe steps like this will help create a new generation of Vietnamese buildings that are faster to build, more precise, more resource-efficient and greener.
Industrialised construction is no longer a story about the future. Step by step, it is becoming reality in Vietnam.
