GK Roskomstroy: "Low-Rise Housing Becomes Affordable"

Until recently, residents of high-rise buildings were confident that suburban real estate - the prerogative of wealthy people. But the builders have already proved the opposite. Within the framework of the national project "Affordable and Comfortable Housing for Russian Citizens", in 2007 the State Duma adopted a bill "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation on the Development of Low-Rise Housing Development in Territories". Simplification of many processes for obtaining permits for construction in low-rise buildings is designed to stimulate the implementation of the priority program "Affordable and Comfortable Housing".

Many people admit that they dream of living in their own house with a small garden, in silence and away from the city noise without problems with parking spaces. And today the low-rise building on the criteria of the ratio of price, convenience and quality is fully capable of competing with panel and monolithic city skyscrapers.

The head of the development department of the Roskomstroy Group of Companies, Zubkin Andrey Yurievich, talks about the advantages of building low-rise housing: "The construction of a foundation and preparatory work for the construction of low-rise buildings requires much less financial costs. A small number of floors significantly shortens construction time. Since this type of housing is being built outside megacities, that is, in nature, then the environmental situation in this case is much more favorable. "

Indeed, when building entire blocks of low-rise housing at the same time, all the necessary engineering, transport and social infrastructure is created. It is worth noting that modern low-rise buildings are characterized by an increased level of comfort, and modern architecture is able to satisfy any requests. Often such houses assume a free planning, that is, people get the opportunity to organize a living space in such a way that the wishes of each member of the family are taken into account.

GC Roskomstroy implements projects on housing construction not only in Moscow, but also in the territory of the Moscow region. Specialists of the company say: "In the suburbs, unlike the capital, the land is much larger, and the prices for it are lower. Despite this, low-rise construction in the region is just beginning to develop. In our opinion, this direction is extremely promising, however, in order to realize the task set by the government, it is necessary to work on eliminating bureaucratic obstacles. Undoubtedly, the development of low-rise construction will be a good platform for the introduction of innovative technologies that will reduce energy losses in the construction and operation of houses. Further increase in the pace of construction using the technologies of the last century will inevitably lead to increased costs for heating and house maintenance. The development and implementation of new materials and technologies will ensure that low-rise housing will be really affordable for families with low income. "
