The Construction Market Faces Challenges: Criteria of Low Price and the Wave of Project Accumulation
The article discusses the challenges in the Polish construction market, particularly focusing on the issues arising from the low-price criterion in tenders and the anticipated wave of project accumulation.
The construction market in Poland is currently facing several significant challenges, especially due to the low-price criterion that often undermines the quality and sustainability of construction projects. This has been a topic of considerable discussion, particularly during the recent conference where industry leaders addressed the negative implications of such a model in public tenders. The call for reforms is increasingly urgent as stakeholders recognize that the existing practices may not only jeopardize project quality but also strain relationships between contractors and clients.
Furthermore, the anticipated wave of project accumulation presents both challenges and opportunities for the industry. As indicated by experts at the conference, this accumulation could lead to increased competition among builders, potentially driving prices down further. However, it also offers a chance for significant engagement and investment in the Polish construction sector, especially in the context of rebuilding efforts in Ukraine and other regional developments. The report highlighted by Deloitte sheds light on shifting sentiments among large and small construction companies, indicating a landscape that is rapidly evolving.
Lastly, the engagement of key industry figures, including Filip Czernicki of the CPK and Tomasz KwieciÅski from GDDKiA, signifies a concerted effort to address these issues. The discussion around local content and strategic projects such as Port Polska also underscores the potential impact of governmental policies on regional industrial development. The insights gained from the latest Deloitte report could serve as a guiding framework for stakeholders aiming to navigate these turbulent times successfully.
