☑️ Chairman of the Board of Directors of the CBU participated in a conference within the framework of KyivBuild Ukraine

On February 20, Oleksandr Rotov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the CBU, took part in the conference "Reinforced Concrete and Innovations: New Horizons of Industrial Technologies," held as part of KyivBuild Ukraine 2025.

📍Organizers: ProfBuild magazine and KyivBuild Ukraine exhibition, in partnership with the Confederation of Builders of Ukraine.

👤 During his welcome speech, Oleksandr Rotov emphasized the importance of modern construction methods, particularly the use of prefabricated structures, which allow for faster and higher-quality construction. This is especially relevant for the creation of industrial enterprises, housing for internally displaced persons, and the reconstruction of destroyed cities.

☝️Among the key challenges facing the construction industry, he highlighted the large-scale destruction of housing stock, labor shortages caused by the migration of specialists abroad, or their participation in defending our country on the frontlines.

In his opinion, once large-scale reconstruction begins, Ukraine will need to develop industrial construction, which will enable rapid infrastructure recovery while involving fewer workers.

💬 "CBU, as an association of active market players, will make every effort to contribute to the development and rebuilding of our country," summarized Oleksandr Rotov.

During the conference, participants discussed prospects, technologies, and strategies for the development of industrial construction.
