Meet BK Construction - Citadeli's partner
- How is the construction sector evolving, what are the market challenges and how does BK Construction respond to them?
BK Construction is a leading construction company with 30 years of experience.
The company has decades of experience working on projects of varying complexity and specifics.
The company has successfully completed projects such as branded 5-star and boutique hotels, office space, residential complexes, shopping centers and other civil engineering construction.
This experience has led to many ongoing projects. BK Construction is currently constructing 700,000 sq. ft.
BK Construction currently employs 1,200 people, including engineers, specialists and other qualified personnel.
The biggest problem we and other companies in the construction industry are facing right now is the lack of qualified personnel.
- Tell us about the basic principles that BK Construction has served faithfully for decades?
For 30 years BK Construction has been striving to set the highest standards of construction in the Georgian market, and only such a company with such high standards enjoys sufficient credibility and has the resources to implement such large-scale projects.
- What, in your opinion, determines the quality of the final product?
In construction, many factors are important in order to get a quality product in the end. I would especially like to mention qualified personnel and quality building materials.
We replenish the resource of qualified personnel from our own construction college Construct2 which we founded in 2017 together with the Ministry of Education and Science.
Studying at Construct2 is paid, on-campus housing is also paid for, and students receive a scholarship while studying. In the next phase, during the practical sessions, BK Construction provides students with accommodation in Tbilisi and pays their salaries.
After a total of 4 months of theoretical and practical training, all successful students are hired by BK Construction, although I will note here that they have a free choice between us or any other construction company.
As for the second important factor - construction materials, I would like to note that our company uses only quality materials that meet international standards and certificates. In "Citadeli" such products are presented. The company offers many international exclusive brands. This in itself is an important factor for the development of the industry.
- Despite the competition in the market of construction materials, by what criteria do you choose your partner and, in general, how important do you think Citadeli's positioning/presence in the market is?
Citadeli offers high quality products that are certified and meet international standards.
Good partnerships, along with high-quality materials, also determine delivery times.
"Citadeli” is a time-tested, important partner for our company.
- And finally, tell us about BK Construction's plans for 2023.
As I said, we currently have about 20 ongoing projects that include a total of 700,000 square feet of building space. Our goal is to successfully implement the current projects and fulfill the promises we made to our partners before the projects were implemented.
