Today, the most relevant in the professional are the problems of maintaining the volume of housing commissioning and the implementation of state programs and maintaining the volume of mortgages. The time of crisis revealed that good sales and income during the operation period are demonstrated by those projects where business processes were initially organized correctly. Such ideas were presented in their reports by Vladislav Voronkov, Director General of the SRO NP PZhK MezhRegionRazvitie, Director of the Production and Technical Department of YIT St. Petersburg, Alexey Brius, and Honored Architect of the Russian Federation, Vice President of the St. Petersburg Union of Architects, General Director of OOO Architectural Workshop Kaplunova V. Z. Valery Kaplunov.
The audience listened with interest to the report of Alexey Zakomoldin, General Director of FLIMA ENGINEERING, who recorded changes in the expectations of low-rise construction customers in the 90s, early 2000s and recent years. The accumulated experience shows that there is an opportunity to build beautiful, high-quality and at the same time inexpensive housing.
Representatives of educational organizations are convinced that it is not so much technology that helps to translate projects into reality. Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of SPSUACE Alexander Panin and senior foreman of industrial training at METROSTROYA College Eduard Simonyan called for the revival of the best practices of the Soviet era and the renewal of the principle of mentoring for students. This will further interest students and improve the quality of design and construction work.
Many conference participants remembered the report of the manager of the ANCOR Business Solutions recruitment agency Yulia Poleshchuk, who spoke about the options for solving the problem of interaction with "star" specialists.
A series of reports on various technologies and solutions was opened by Alexander Lokochinsky, chief specialist of KB "High-rise and Underground Constructions". During his speech, he spoke about the experience of improving the quality of design and improving the qualifications of project personnel through training and the introduction of modern software products.
Yulia Chetvertkova, head of the design and technical department of ICEm Glass, presented a practical solution for insulating the stylobate parts of the building and operating roofs. Previously, it was not easy to solve these problems, since traditional heaters are either flammable or hygroscopic and do not have sufficient ability to withstand loads. Foam glass solves these problems and is more cost-effective.
Irina Bondareva, Product Manager of KNAUF, told the builders about the advantages of using AQUAPANEL cement slabs for outdoor work and decoration of rooms with high air humidity, as well as for rooms with increased requirements for structural strength.
General Director of CEST LLC Sergey Startsev prepared a report on the shortcomings of the traditional method of sealing interpanel joints using polymer mastics and proposed a radical solution: the surface-painting-seam system, which includes seam insulation, restoration of concrete panels, painting and coating of facades with hydrophobic composition. The materials used have high vapor permeability, which allows the panels to dry out and restore the design thermal performance. PCA technology can extend the life of a building and improve the architectural environment.
Mikhail Efimenko, an employee of LSR - Wall Materials North-West, presented modern versions of clinker bricks and autoclaved aerated concrete blocks.
