Alexander Glimbovsky: "Let's build a terminal in Lviv no worse than in Borispol
- First, to win these tenders, we do not get used. For example, last year the company in the group "Altis-Holding, won the public tender. I am referring to our company "SpetsBudBeton, which began work on the device-gate terminal complex at the airport" Borispol ". As for investors, there are different situatsii.Prezhde all it concerns domestic investors - is mostly young companies that do not have enough experience in such projects. This means that the implementation is almost always changing the concept of building tenants change, the technical problem. And any deviation even at the level of the concept lead to major changes in the construction process.
- If you go back to the theme of Euro 2012, what are the main challenges for the construction you see here today?
- Construction in general now needs to be supported. I
am referring to accelerate decision-making on the construction of
facilities for EURO-2012. This applies to sports facilities and
infrastructure. In 2009, virtually nothing has been
done. Tenders for the construction of roads and infrastructure
have been started in almost August, when the frost is not far off.
It's a crime if the money is available, project documentation
is, and tenders are conducted when there is no time for
delivery.
We have a huge amount of time spent on calls. We must act
immediately to ensure that not only do the training for Euro 2012,
but also support our construction company. For example, the
experience of the EURO in Portugal showed that support for the
government has significantly helped the Portuguese companies. Today
they have evolved to larger sizes, it is quite competitive in
Europe, come to us. After all, the Portuguese government gave them
a priority opportunity to participate in international tenders. And
we have the tender conditions prescribed for some reason,
exclusively under the foreign companies. Well come to us 10 of
their engineers and 20-30% of the funds will go abroad, and Ukraine
will only have cost price. I want to say that without the help of
the state will solve this problem. This is the main critical
moments, decisions on which povinnni be taken immediately.
- It's no secret that 2009 was one of the most difficult for the construction industry. How crisis might affect your business and how you think you can survive in such situations and ensure success?
- Yes, 2009 was very difficult for the builders ... Of course, we assumed that the crisis may occur, but not so fast. Most of the projects Altis - Holding still belongs to the commercial real estate. Impact of the crisis on the industry is less because it is not associated with mortgage lending, as we are building through targeted lending. Construction - this is a great mechanism that can not stop, for example, to freeze an object, we need a few weeks and then once a month to unfreeze it. We are mobilizing our efforts to meet with our investors, explain the situation, looking for compromises. So this crisis is for us is a great lesson. Over the last 5-7 years due to the market situation Ukrainian construction companies to relax a little. But business, like life itself, is cyclical: ascending inevitably fall, then rise again. There will be hard for everyone, but particularly - to small companies do not have access to credit resources and years of accumulated credit reputation.However, I can say that the market situation is complicated, but manageable.
- In conclusion, whether in Lviv finally a modern, European-comfortable room terminal?
- As for us, we are quite able to build in the capital of Galicia's terminal facilities as good or even better than in Borispol. There would have been on the funds and imperious will, above all, committed to its manufacturer and builder.
