These are the features of important competition advantage allowing to market members to keep and build up their potential capacities in the future.
The trend of price reduction and construction cost development seen by the round table participants in combination with the discussed amendments to the Federal Law 214 leading to developer projects financing growth, will likely lead to situation when it is a problem to reach the level of developer capital cost-effectiveness adequate to branch risks. In such a situation it is worth thinking how to relieve developers of functions incidental to them including the creation of social and transport infrastructure that is theoretically the function of the state, and the creation of places of work application: the latter is most effectively made by the market. As the status quo will unlikely change within the nearest future those developers will be a success within the on-coming period of stagnation and GDP insignificant growth who will be able to optimize prime costs and, that is the most important, to design scientifically grounded and complete product ensuring totally new living and comfort standards for its inhabitants, Mr. Alexey Zuev summarized.
