You are currently viewing Government Action Plan for 2021: What about construction?

On March 24, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the Government’s priority action plan for 2021 (order No. 276-r)

The development of the construction industry involves a number of tasks that will be implemented by one or another ministry. We have analyzed this document and highlighted those issues that relate to our activities in one way or another.

The National Expert Construction Alliance of Ukraine began implementing some key areas of this plan last year. First of all, this concerns the digitalization of the expert industry.

We have developed two practical tools that expert organizations have been using since last year’s quarantine. This is a digital expert report with electronic signatures and seals of experts and digital protection of expert reports.

We also began to implement the Building Information Model (BIM) among design and expert organizations.

The Alliance’s plans for the current year largely coincide with the Government’s action plan. First of all, this is the further implementation of digital tools in construction expertise and the Building Information Model (BIM), increasing the criteria for the work of experts and expert organizations, self-regulation.

We also actively cooperate with the relevant Ministries, the Verkhovna Rada Committee, the expert community, public organizations on issues of reforming the State Agency for Construction and Housing, updating the outdated housing stock, and many others.

This year, the Government has ambitious plans in many areas of development, including those related to construction. In particular, we are talking about the further implementation of digital tools, legislative changes in the field of urban planning, standardization and technical regulation in construction, housing policy and improvement, etc.
