On 6th of October, 2022 the National Association of Consultant Engineers in Construction (NACEC) and Kazakhsky Research, Development, and Design Institute of Construction and Architecture, JSC (KazNIICA) will conduct the Eurasian Construction Congress within the business program of the World Construction Championship II.

The Congress has not been conducted before; and it is intended to become a part of realization of the Resolution on arrangement of the single construction service market referring to the EAEU countries. The Resolution was adopted in December, 2021 by the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council.

The Eurasian Construction Congress is a global event uniting international experts, heads of state and large private companies, as well as social agencies and allowing the discussion of questions on contractual, technical, and digital regulations of the single construction market within the territory of the EAEU countries, as well as on practices of import substitution in the EAEU.

Among the topics of discussion in the Congress there are the following: arrangement of construction service market and development of integration processes within the territory of the EAEU countries (including those intended for import substitution purposes); development of clear rules “for the game” related to investment and construction business; construction engineering of the new digital technologic nature; and ensuring of freedom of movement of building resources within the territory of the EAEU countries.

The World Construction Championship II scheduled for the period from 5th till 8th of October, 2022, and to be conducted in Kazan, corresponds to all current requirements to a communication platform. The industry requires discussion of working issues within rapidly changing conditions.

“In 2022, despite the current situation related to a number of foreign countries, Russia’s companies actively develop large-scale projects required by different industrial spheres in Russia and overseas.

Meanwhile, due to the focus on import substitution of goods and technologies, we can notice higher demand for modernization and technical upgrading of a number of existing industries, as well as for construction of brand new enterprises. This will involve more professional specialists.

The ongoing World Construction Championship will help us to establish cooperation and arrange partnerships with experts and specialized companies from different countries. In particular, from the EAEU countries that will be able to cooperate with us and establish the single construction service market with no barriers, limitations, extra requirements or conditions.” Said first Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing, and Utilities of the Russian Federation, Mr. Alexander Nikolaevich Lomakin.

“The necessity to develop the single conceptual framework that would be clear for all EAEU countries and intended for regulatory and technical documentation, as well as development of a single classification system within the shared construction regulations (including the regulatory structure and control/supervision/correspondence evaluation system) will require integration of the EAEU and CIS countries’ technical regulation systems.

Integration processes will provide a transformational push to the innovative economy and development of the construction industry. Besides, such processes will favor practical realization of the concerted construction policy of the EAEU countries.

In turn, it will ensure direct benefits to citizens, including training of human resources, scientific/applied researches, startup supporting, transferring of modern technologies, and will allow realizing of large shared projects supported by the EAEU countries.” Outlined general director of Kazakhsky Research, Development, and Design Institute of Construction and Architecture, JSC, Mr. Begman Bakhitovich Kulbaev.
