How do you view the economic crisis, the head of construction companies, straddling the middle of Europe? Construction is to be an indicator of economic health …
So in particular – the crisis is not about construction. Economy of construction, although not separated, they are continuous vessel, as well as can not be seen separated the banking sector, however, have noted that the crisis occurred and was caused in the field, which should be the nejopatrnějším, most conservative and safest in the whole economy, namely in the banking sector. At the same time on all of the following three rules violated, and today it transferred to the entire economy. It is difficult to assess and sounds stupid when I say that everything we have, only that the economy does not work somehow. The crisis is not from the overproduction or lack of demand – demand and sales would be, at least according to our experience, but lagging behind the financing, it is now the biggest problem.
Yet we can not tell people – it is not about money, so you can not give up yet … Do you have your own sources of funding?
For example, IBM would not need the bank, had its own resources and see how they are released. My nepropouštíme yet, and I hope that even there. Yet we are not out of problems, because at least the clients are mostly dependent on banks. Whether it’s building construction, which was given from the crisis it were full of action: apartments, houses, residential construction. The second sector is the construction of industrial and other, third, civil-engineering of infrastructure – road, rail and waterways. The first and second sector, to banks or self, in both cases, problems arose and persisted. So the engineering construction, massively funded by governments or funds. So this is the part of construction, which should continue to operate and prosper, especially since the Government should realize that if he fell and the construction sector, then the problems got much further, maybe the economic sphere.
And if someone thinks that this is artificial, then answer that it is not: it is objectively necessary to make substantial investments in the entire infrastructure, both to the road network and in railway corridors and all the equipment, and then there is also quite neglected waterway transport. In doing so, the future could well play a greater role, but in terms of water, a lot of investment required and the distribution itself, I think water and sanitation. In the future, the drinking water will be applied gold! Because oil definitely time you replace, you will find other energy sources, but the water – easy! But when you ask for you or for us, had been over the last two decades built the dam – will you zero!
The crisis will not last forever, whatever the year or two – but eventually expire and will require the development of energy. But the construction of new energy sources is not a matter of one year, as well as construction ditribučních routes – at the end of gas, we tried it all this winter, the water I have already spoken. In these areas I see for our company, respectively. our company, literally the space boom … And we are ready, we have to be!
Control firms in the two countries that were once contiguous and once today but are in two different systems of currency – the euro in Slovakia, this is the national currency. How this reflects on the proceedings?
Control up to much mind, this is OK, but hurts foreign exchange losses, yes. As a person from “both sides” I can, I think, little to judge the benefits of both routes and I think this win to Slovaks. The truth is that we were also lucky – we caught five minutes to twelve, and in addition to us, paradoxically, helped crisis – Slovakia is the only country that after the changeover forfeited living standards, rather the contrary. But it is certainly easier to work with the euro, everything is transparent – after all, you have to be all many do not realize it, but you also have the euro, the secret – all the resources from EU funds are of course the euro and the fluctuations in the crown is more than the loss of profits …
Let’s go to the building – this fair is the topic of savings, efficient building … How do you see the savings you? You do not have the impression that sometimes saving at any cost?
Like everything – it is complex. For each of our contract is the first client, the second designer – and to us it is just to compile bid because the project is where dodge. But then we say that we are dear, but if in the case of contracts, there are alternative approaches, the project, the path closes! Of course there are ways to save – for example, when a client comes with a view straight to us and we will ensure the project – of course, will be built taking into account the maximum possible synergies, from the logistics and choice of materials and thus ending technology. Of course, while maintaining the output parameters works. Point out that over half of our turnover in Slovakia to 56%, takes place in line construction, ie construction of highways.
Even better way to save is the name of PPP projects, where we get a contract, for example, the road route, and the other is on us – from the evaluation to the implementation and operation of maintenance and repair. Probably does not make sense to argue with much here nepoučenými objections that the construction company would hold all the cards in the hands of a předražovala – rather the opposite is true. In this case, namely we have to be able to guarantee, for example, quality repairs and maintenance to thirty years in advance in the price of the contract – and who you work today nacení thirty years ahead? As regards the other segment of our business – cost-effective building to include the building, which for us constitute the smallest part of the production, industrial objects again have their own strict rules, and you obviously must be respected and my designer.
And if we want to talk about road construction and other savings options – think of the environment … Do you have any to post?
So of course, that even in our company is dedicated to environmental issues. And I think what we have to offer – for example, both use obalovaných colorless mixture with a new type of binder Végécol. It is the natural basis, without the use of petroleum products and it is also used to color additives. This material we have supplied and even to Prague for repair park roads in the park Grébovka. Now you will only verify the customer, as the surface cold wait, but we are sure that great. And also do a horizontal marking on the carriageway of crushed mother-of-pearl from shells, a waste material in its own way, and we do třetice cold mixture to the breaking of ground – water-based mixture that perfectly začela surface of the road and within two hours after the ride can turn is an important element we can protect the environment: reducing detours, minimize the impact of any transport collapses …
Finally – how do you like Building Fairs Brno?
If they like, we should not be here, logically. Yes, I am happy – the players on the market are here, the tradition continues and the potential to grow the fair – yes, it is meaningless.
