Why do builders avoid Riga?
Investments worth millions of euros are leaving Riga in the direction of Vilnius, as the businessman calculates the necessary construction permits and the time it will take in Riga. 27 permits and at least a year to start construction was the reason to choose another city and country. Why is Riga losing investors due to construction permits? From January 1, the new Construction Information System (BIS) has started operating in Riga, most designers, builders, even the Riga Construction Authority praise the new system – it is said to be much easier to work, disputes are actually not possible, because everything is electronically registered, and yet half a year until entering the construction site is the best deadline, later it turns out that a year also happened, but for someone – one and a half. “The Riga construction board looks hard, and how can it not look! One of them is on the defendant’s bench. They look reasonably and assess firmly. If everything is in order and the project is well prepared, then there are no problems and the answers are on time. Six months until construction is exceptionally good the time that needs to be spent in Riga to prepare the project well and get all the permits,” the chairman of the board of a large house construction and design engineering company revealed his opinion anonymously to the magazine “Dienas Bizness”. see the full version of the article here!
