Alexander Subbotin: "In construction matters, it is especially important to run ahead of the problem; this is a socially significant issue."

In construction matters, it is especially important to run ahead of the problem; this is a socially significant issue. This was stated by the Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, Alexander Subbotin, during a meeting of the regional executive committee, where the issue "On the fulfillment of construction and commissioning targets for residential buildings in 2025" was considered. The Chairman of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus, Igor Sergeenko, and the Chairman of the Board of the National Bank, Roman Golovchenko, took part in the meeting.

– Construction is one of the main markers by which the development dynamics of any region are assessed. For the Vitebsk region, for the fourth year in a row, the assigned indicators for commissioning residential areas have traditionally been growing, – noted the head of the region. – And we are fulfilling them. For 2025, 424 million rubles of investment in fixed assets have already been used for housing construction, including almost 60 million for the construction of utility networks. For 2025, the Vitebsk region has been set a challenging target for commissioning housing in the amount of 400 thousand square meters. It is important to identify problems that arise during the fulfillment of the target, and to determine where positions need to be strengthened to cope with the tasks set.

As practice shows, noted Alexander Subbotin, there is a reserve in the construction industry in the Vitebsk region, and high-quality construction can be carried out here on time. Special attention should be paid to the delays in the design of apartment buildings. Therefore, before a house is planned to be built, funds for pre-project documentation should be provided in the district budgets, and thus, we should run ahead of the problem, concluded Alexander Subbotin.
