Rauta Group LLC (the Rauta trademark, Kyiv), which designs and assembles pre-fabricated houses, in 2019 doubled sales of Ruukki sandwich panels, while in general the market of imported panels in Ukraine showed a 10% decline.
“The total consumption of imported sandwich panels in Ukraine decreased from 1.01 million square meters in 2018 to 0.91 million square meters in 2019. Industry experts attribute this result to a temporary slowdown in the investment activities of developers due to the general economic situation in country,” Rauta reported.
Thus, the share of Rauta of the market of imported sandwich panels has doubled, to 4.4%.
“Given the current trends in increasing the energy efficiency of commercial buildings, we expect further growth in sales of sandwich panels,” Rauta director Andriy Ozeichuk said.
At the same time, according to him, one of the challenges this year could be the introduction of regulation No. 305, which will significantly affect this market.
“In the long run, the appearance of declarations and self-regulatory organizations will create the prerequisites for the mass application of sandwich panels that comply with State Standards of Ukraine EN 14509 with the highest possible energy efficiency and durability,” the company said.
Kyiv-based Rauta Group LLC, which deals with design and installation of fast-track buildings, has received a license for construction of the building with medium and high consequence class (CC2, CC3).
“Obtaining a license is a logical continuation of the company’s development in the highest quality construction materials supply and services provision,” the company quotes Rauta Director Andriy Ozeichuk as saying.
Now in addition to the supply of European produced sandwich panels, facade cladding and steel structures, the company carries out a full list of construction and installation works, as well as a general contracting.
Rauta Group was founded in 2014. Ozeichuk is a 100% shareholder of the company.
Energy-saving innovations from Rauta, applied in the construction of Novus shopping mall, have been recognized by market experts in the nomination “Best technical solution”.
The awarding of the «Construction Atlantes» best projects was held on November 23 during the II National Forum on the construction projects management RED PM DAY 2018.
Rauta received an award for the Novus project in the nomination “Best technical solution”, in which the award jury and the forum participants evaluated technologies that make it possible to simplify the construction and maintenance of buildings. The Novus shopping center in Kiev became the first real estate in Ukraine to build with the new generation of Ruukki sandwich panels – Energy series.
“Only by using such sandwich panels commercial buildings with nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) are being built in the EU countries,” said Andriy Ozeychuk, Rauta Director. “Advanced energy efficiency panels make it possible to save an additional 20% on heating and air conditioning of the real estate and to achieve the A-level of building energy efficiency”.
It should be noted that using Ruukki sandwich panels of the ENERGY series allows the commercial property to obtain higher rates for LEED, BREEAM and FM certification systems.
