1. Introduction to the Company
1.1. History of Delta Corporation
Entrepreneur Nhat Thanh Tran established civil engineering companies and
industrial DELTA in 1993. Shortly after the operation, DELTA Corporation had
participated in numerous major projects, several of which are the construction of
Press Club Center (Hanoi), Saigon Domaine (HCMC), and Hanoi Hilton Opera
Hotel. Since 2001, DELTA has constructed a series of foundation construction, the
barrette wall and the basement on the different geological background, such as
Bitexco Tower, Vincom City, and Keangnam Landmark. For more than 20 years of
DELTAs development, Thanh and his management team, technical staffs and
specialized teams have built the DELTA brandname, which has been valued by
customers as the leading company in the civil construction industry. The
company's building constructions implemented across the country are always
outstanding and complex works, which requires advanced technology.
1.2. The projects of the company
Since its entrance in construction market, DELTA has successfully
implemented numerous key projects, including the Keangnam Tower foundations
and Bitexco Financial Tower. The company also became the major bidder of large
projects such as the Royal City and Times City, thanks to which DELTA has
reconfirmed its leading role in the civil construction area and earned higher trust
from customers.
However, the damage to the building market is that public enterprises have
many advantages in bidding for the infrastructure construction works which

involve public budget. This issue may reduce the effectiveness of bidding and
significantly influence the quality of construction works when the contractors do
not have adequate implementation capacity.
The bar chart below reveals the expectation of the growth rate of the
construction major and the total investment. Although the investment amount of all
construction majors fluctuates sharply recently, it is forecasted that along with the
steadily increasing growth rate of total investment in construction, the amount
spent for the three majors will ultimately converge at around VND 2 million
billions during the 2020s.
Weaknesses
1. Labor productivity.
2. Marketing activities.
Threats
1. The economic crisis.
2. Competition in the industry
3.1. Strengths
- Product quality: DELTA Corporation is one of the leading construction
companies in Vietnam, so the quality of the work is the most important factor.
6| Marketing Plan Individual Assignment
Tuan Hung Le
Product quality of DELTA has been clearly proven through the completed such
as the Royal City, Times City and Bitexco Financial Tower. DELTA always
strives the best to deliver excellent performance with higher quality of
construction.
- Equipment and technology: DELTA has invested in the most updated and
advanced machinery and equipment in the world in the execution of public
construction such as RCD drilling rigs and diaphragm wall excavator. Besides,
a modern computer system with scientific advances, such as the Osterberg
device, Koden test equipment, Top-down method, Bottom-up method, etc., is
also applied to check the quality of the work
- Human resources: DELTA employs young staffs with dynamic, innovative and
enthusiastic personality. Furthermore, these staffs are always inspired and
rewarded accordingly to contribute to the company's development. Therefore,
company has a stabilized foundation from the staffs.
- Production costs: Thanks to the connection with the suppliers of products and
services domestically and internationally, the production costs are tightly
controlled, so the costs are maximum saved.
3.2. Weaknesses
- Labor productivity: Although the company possesses a strong workforce, not
many capacity building activities are undertaken for the company to harness the
power of human resources. Thus, the performance is not at the highest possible
level.
- The system of marketing: marketing activities have not been effectively
promoted. A classic example is the obvious lack of information, which is
essential for contractors and consumers, on the Corporations website.
3.3. Opportunities
- Policy reform: Since 2013, the housing law and law on tenders and property
values (36/TT-NHNN) have been changed considerably in various contents.
This encourages the demand for housing and the amount of foreign investment
in the industry. Therefore, DELTA can take its advantage to expand and develop
further projects.
- Interest rate: interest rates of lending and savings have dropped to 8% and 6%,
respectively, which are at the lowest levels in recent years. When the expense

3.4. Threats
- Economic crisis: the global economy is facing an arising economic crisis. The
upsurge in inflation leads to the escalating price of raw materials, which in turn
will cause a burden for DELTA to balance its price policy to compete with other
competitors.
- Competition in the industry: The more and more intensive participation of
Vietnam in the process of globalization has led to the appearance of many
construction companies which pose a great threat of competition to DELTA. It
may be increasingly fierce competition on prices, quality, service, and time, etc.
4. Recommendations
4.1. Target Market
As mentioned above, the industrial construction is the industry responsible
for low value structure in the construction industry, which accounts for only
18.3%. Currently, the amount of capital investment in the industrial construction
8| Marketing Plan Individual Assignment
Tuan Hung Le
has occupied the highest structure in FDI (40-50%), equivalent to the amount of on
average 4-5 billion USD disbursed each year. Besides, because of the
globalization, the demand for the industrial construction are increasing at higher
and higher speed, promising huge profits for qualified construction companies.
Therefore, the prospects of industrial construction are evaluated positive in the
next few years. This is expected to be a potential new market for DELTA to expand
its projects in terms of both scale and scope because they never participates in the
industrial construction market. Customer focus of the company's is the contractors,
domestic and foreign investors in the industry areas, including Samsung, Intel,
Nike, and Adidas, etc.
4.2. New product description
- Product: For industrial construction market, the DELTA Corporations new
product is the projects with superior quality, where the most modern equipment
and advanced technologies of DELTA will be applied to ensure safety, quality
and timely progress.
- Promotion: DELTA Corporation will promote industrial construction building
capacity to the investors through promotional campaigns, including both mass
media communication tools (TV, posters, website, etc.) and direct
communication events (exhibition, press conference, etc).
- Price: Based on the sustainable relationship of DELTA Corporation with
suppliers of construction raw materials, the production costs of industrial
construction works will be minimized. However, during the early participation
of DELTA in industrial construction, it is expected that the company will have
to invest more in specific technologies and to adapt its resources to the new
market segment. Quality is still concentrated to meet the requirements of the
investors and will be the key distinct advantage of DELTAs products.
Therefore, the price policy of DELTA in this phase is to balance at the average
level in the market.
- Place: The main distribution area of the new products is the largest industrial
parks in the country such as Binh Duong, Thai Nguyen, Bac Ninh, etc., or the
newly arising industrial zones in Quang Ninh, Thanh Hoa, and Dong Nai, so on.
- People: New products will be designed and built by engineers and workers who
have more experience and have core capacity. DELTA will also have to arrange
some training sessions or send its employees to advanced courses designed
specifically for industrial construction to enhance their capacity.
- Processes: The works will be built and designed according to the requirements
of investors. All these projects will meet the criteria of quality, safety and
