Straw bale walls are gorgeous and houses made of this agricultural by- product will save you money year after year. Besides, working with straw is fun.<br />
<br />
If you have never thought before about living in a straw bale house maybe now it is the time to consider this option for at least the two reasons mentioned above. There are more advantages though and experts are optimistic about this construction trend, but they also show the downside of this type of building.<br />

First of all straw bale construction is affordable. Straw bale homes cost almost exactly the same amount of money to build as traditional stick-frame homes.<br />
<br />
Straw bale homes are more fire retardant than traditional stick-framed homes. The idea behind the material’s resistance to fire comes from the concept that the bales are so tightly packed that oxygen cannot enter in between the straws and fuel a fire. However, there are still numerous factors that will allow a straw bale house to burn, especially during construction.<br />
<br />
Building with straw helps the planet in many ways. For example, straw is a waste product that is either burned or composted in standing water. By using the straw instead of eliminating it, we reduce either air pollution or water consumption, both of which impact the environment in general. Straw is an annually-renewable resource, not at all like lumber which can take decades to produce. It takes almost no extra energy to harvest bales, as opposed to the transportation costs of lumber. Compared with other building products like wood, concrete or steel, bales are extremely light and easy to transport from the field to the construction site. And unlike lumber, concrete and steel, straw is produced in almost every state of the union, thus saving fuel costs and less travel time to a work site.<br />

Straw houses will save you money, year after year. A well built straw bale home can save you up to 75% on heating and cooling costs. The walls are thick and will give you a cool house in the summer, a warm house in the winter. It has a natural “trombe” effect, in other words it soaks up the coolness or the heat of the inside and stores it and releases it like a giant heater or an efficient refrigerator. <br />
<br />
<b>Well insulated homes</b><br />
<br />
Although it may seem difficult to believe, straw bale walls are very well insulated, when built correctly. The quality of insulation that a straw bale wall provides depends on a number of factors including the way the bales are stacked, the way the bales mesh with the roof’s insulation, the type of post-and-beam structure, the type of plaster used, the quality of the plaster work, and the design of the house itself, among many others. But if the bales aren’t stacked properly, there can be small gaps in the walls that create thermal break-points in the otherwise well insulated walls.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8YUL92oZ1T55yub7CqAB3jW5SCthGXhPYTGWpAlc2BrS-xQSBDFdKDTH2FG1ce03n2aJ4egLidMS2C_HJVQefQQiN_AGucb0wb8MMs8IdvUUDTyVr2uJ8znI8ujvc6egOlhupbpjHaR3O/s1600/mainroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8YUL92oZ1T55yub7CqAB3jW5SCthGXhPYTGWpAlc2BrS-xQSBDFdKDTH2FG1ce03n2aJ4egLidMS2C_HJVQefQQiN_AGucb0wb8MMs8IdvUUDTyVr2uJ8znI8ujvc6egOlhupbpjHaR3O/s320/mainroom.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The use of straw as insulation means that the standard insulation materials are removed from the home. Standard fiberglass insulation has formaldehyde in it, a known carcinogen. Bale walls also eliminate the use of plywood in the walls. Plywood contains unhealthy glues that can off-gas into the house over time.<br />
<br />
<b>The other side of the coin</b><br />
<br />
Building with straw is not fully-accepted as method of construction in many countries.It may take more time to acquire a building permit for a straw bale structure than it would for a conventional one.This is more to do with the social conception of the material, rather than the material itself.<br />
<br />
Straw bales will harbor both insects and mold. Of course, a conventional house will also easily host insects and is susceptible to mold, too, if not built right. But straw is more sensitive to such things than wood-constructed and fiberglass-insulated structures.<br />
<br />
Because of the thickness of the bales, you will lose square-footage inside a home. So that extra-thick wall will indeed eat up some of your interior space. But designing the house a bit bigger will add some costs to the construction of the house: you’ll need some extra concrete in your foundations, for example, and you’ll need to make your roof trusses a bit longer.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10118394169253100107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791119775892927858.post-7076974958522975962015-06-19T01:42:00.000-07:002015-06-19T01:42:24.230-07:00Is Dubai's ambitious construction projects putting a strain on the environment?<div style="text-align: left;">

Dubai has been in the past 15 years one of the
most exciting holiday destination for those fascinated by architecture and
construction.The desert state has built a name for itself by housing some of
the world’s most ambitious projects. This year's project pipeline includes a
rainforest in the desert, the world’s largest shopping mall and the tallest
twin towers on earth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the one hand this is good news as it suggests
the city will become even more appealing and it shows strong consumer demand.
It also shows that Dubai's construction industry is supported by solid foreign
investment and loans. But on the other hand the large number of projects in the
pipeline raises a big question: What is the impact of Dubai's ambitious
construction projects on environmental footprint? Nowadays when construction
companies are encouraged to build as green as possible, finding the answer to
this question should not be ignored.</div>

foreigners were allowed to buy properties. Many </div>
were sold off-plan almost
immediately, with few regulations in place. In 2009, following the global
financial crisis, hundreds of construction projects were abandoned or suspended
as credit dried up. Property prices fell by 30-50 percent.In 2013 a second
construction boom occured. Property prices raised by over 30 percent supported
by the news Dubai will host Expo 2020.<br />

On the one
hand the average person in Dubai uses about double the amount of water than the
global average, produces 2.5kg (5lb) of waste a day, and is among the world's
worst carbon dioxide polluters. On the other hand gas turbines produce most of
Dubai's energy and as a fuel source, this is a pretty clean option, as the
grid's carbon emissions are only 60 percent of the world's average.
Furthermore, the distribution of gas is also twice as efficient when compared
globally, so the infrastructure is not the problem.</div>

<b><i>Home to world's tallest

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The history of skyscrapers in Dubai began with the construction of Dubai World
Trade Centre in 1979, which is usually regarded as the first high-rise in the
city. At the time of its completion, it also stood as the tallest building in
the Middle East. <br />
<br />
Since 1999, and especially from 2005 onwards, Dubai has been the site of an
extremely large skyscraper building boom, with all 73 of its buildings over 200
metres (656 ft) tall completed after 1999. In less than ten years, the city has
amassed one of the largest skylines in the world. It is now home to the world's
tallest building, the world's tallest residence, and the world's tallest hotel.
As of 2012, 363 new skyscrapers are under construction in Dubai; additionally,
there are over 640 active high-rise developments that have been proposed for
construction in the city.<br />

The tallest building in Dubai is the Burj Khalifa, which rises 828 metres
(2,717 ft) and contains 163 floors. The tower has stood as both the tallest building
in the world and the tallest man-made structure of any kind in the world since
its completion in January 2010. The second-tallest building in Dubai is the
414-metre (1,358 ft) Princess Tower, which also stands as the world's tallest
residential skyscraper. The skyscrapers of Dubai are, for the most part,
clustered in three different locations. The land along Sheikh Zayed Road was
the first to develop, followed by the Dubai Marina neighborhood and the
Business Bay district.<br />

Dubai's rulers are keen to improve the situation. They want 15 percent of
electricity from renewables, with 30 percent less consumed per head, by 2030
and this renewable target looks achievable. Saeed Al Abbar, chair of the
Emirates Green Building Council, told the BBC that "awareness of
sustainability issues has definitely increased significantly over the past few
years".<br />

How about visiting world’s first city built in a glacier?<div class="MsoNormal">
There are few places on earth, where the population feels so
connected to their natural environment. Iceland is one of these places. This
country counting only 320,000 Icelanders surviving and thriving in a land like
no other, blessed with jaw dropping natural splendour and unique features, has
a reputation for pioneering, innovation and creativity. Among these innovations
there is an interesting construction/excavation project going on over in
Iceland right now: an artificial tunnel and cave complex being dug into the
Langjökull Glacier- Europe’s second’s largest glacier. </div>

In 2010, one of Iceland’s leading consulting engineering
firms had an idea, that resonated with some of Iceland’s most experienced
adventure tour operators. They had a
bold and daring vision, to take people not just around, but also inside the
heart of the remote and extraordinary glacier ice cap, to see the magnificent
“blue ice” which is buried deep beneath the surface. Bringing tourists nearly
100 feet below the surface of the glacier, the structure is expected to become
semi-permanent, lasting through the summer months for years to come.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When complete, the publicly accessible infra-glacial
facility will consist of numerous nooks and dens which will house exhibitions,
information, restaurants and even a small chapel for those who would like to
marry deep within an ice cap.</div>

The so-called "Icecave" is set to open later this
year, and is not far from Reykjavik. For now, its entrance consists only of
some understated plywood framing. But tunnels, bays, and side chambers are
currently under construction, being chipped down by excavation equipment and
drills, and then further shaped by hand tools.
Lights are now being installed in the walls, giving the place an
otherworldly glow that comes from within the structure itself.</div>

Move to a building with green walls!An emerging trend in green design, consisting in vertically sprawling gardens of green is springing to life across the world on the exteriors of skyscrapers, in hotel lobbies, office reception areas and more. Aesthetics is the main reason why building owners are so keen on following this trend: living green walls are a sure way to enhance a building’s visuals with life-renewing greenery. They also improve air quality as the plants work as a natural air-filtration system.<br />
<br />
But besides the aesthetic benefits have you ever thought that wall comprising plants could be used as acoustic insulation? Researchers have concluded that green walls offer great potential for absorbing noise, but do not deny the fact that they can be both costly and difficult to maintain.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFNgfN8Amb4aV3KvUjevCNw50Vz8PNn4vkZQpsuT2Ryh0XwA_pfVOhc0P0J_gaZ0VBCG3vGAb1Xc8VulOpbW5G2WuHX0VkGmBPbIOwyfTTjYtc2_Ym8F_LcCTY1Vjg1HZfZA0Qw9_QThWZ/s1600/Green+wall+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFNgfN8Amb4aV3KvUjevCNw50Vz8PNn4vkZQpsuT2Ryh0XwA_pfVOhc0P0J_gaZ0VBCG3vGAb1Xc8VulOpbW5G2WuHX0VkGmBPbIOwyfTTjYtc2_Ym8F_LcCTY1Vjg1HZfZA0Qw9_QThWZ/s1600/Green+wall+1.jpg" height="262" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Living walls are made up of plant modules: the plants are inserted into polyurethane boxes and are maintained by means of organic irrigation, in other words, they are fed and watered by means of a system similar to the hydroponic one used in greenhouses. It is not easy to grow plants this way or to insert them into a wall.<br />
<br />
A noise absorption test was carried out in a reverberation chamber - a chamber the walls of which are fitted with materials that reflect noise of the same type in all directions- using a range of frequencies. Green walls have thus been found to perform very well in high as well as low frequencies with respect to noise reduction, whereas other materials used in buildings only perform well at either high or low frequencies.<br />
<br />
The way green walls may behave as acoustic insulation was also studied: plant modules were fitted onto a laboratory wall and the level of noise insulation was measured. The conclusion reached was that with some slight improvements, like increasing the mass of the modules or covering the space between them, the system can be made more effective and, as a result, the green walls could be suitable for acoustic insulation.<br />

<b><i>Improved air quality</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
Living green walls are natural air-filters, creating a cleaner, more invigorating environment. People are often exposed to air toxins in their work or living environment such as formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and benzene. Living green walls metabolize harmful toxins while releasing oxygen into the workplace air, much like plants but on a much larger scale.<br />

<b><i>Protect building façades</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
Green wall systems can help to protect a building’s façade and extend its life, acting as an effective shield to heavy rain and hail and helping to protect from the damaging effects of UV light.<br />
<br />
Moreover, in areas where graffiti is a potential problem, green walls can act as an effective deterrent, making the application of graffiti to the building structure almost impossible.<br />

<b><i>Energy cost reduction</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
The interior and exterior living green walls function to cool the air in the warmer summer months by a process known as “evapotranspiration.” A green wall used on appropriate elevations can reduce energy costs by both providing an additional layer of insulation in the winter (keeping heat in) and acting as a screen to the sun in the summer (keeping the building cool).<br />
<br />
Exterior living green walls can reduce wall surface temperatures by as much as 50 degrees °F, according to researchers, resulting in significant energy savings and air conditioning costs.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
For the efficient healing of cracked concrete, the use of
encapsulated PU-based precursors has already shown great potential. So far,
results have shown a good regain in mechanical behavior and liquid-tightness.
In proof-of-concept tests, glass tubes were used as encapsulation material. </div>

However, to up-scale the technique and make it compatible with conventional
concrete production and placing methods, polymeric spherical microcapsules
would be more suitable. Therefore, research is ongoing to optimize the
encapsulation technique. Moreover, PU-based precursors are adapted to increase
the resistance of the healing agents to cyclic loading, so that also the
healing of dynamic cracks can be considered.</div>

nice wooden cottage with a lake view; a wooden chalet in the mountains where

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">130
years after the world’s first skyscraper- the Home Insurance Building- was
built in Chicago by American engineer, William Le Baron Jenney, the
construction methods and by-products associated with such large scale
infrastructure has inevitably led architects and engineers to seek new ways of
building taller and faster without having such a drastic impact on the
environment. And that has seen them revisit the most basic building material of
them all: wood.</span></div>

any wood is suitable for such a concept though. A type of super-plywood, called
cross-laminated timber (CTL) has been created to maintain the strength of

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It is indeed a very interesting and revolutionizing approach to construction. I wonder however what would be the costs of operation: heating and cooling of these homes? The enormous advantage is the incredible customizability. Although an interesting use of robotics and waste materials, I believe it is important to look at all aspects of housing (energy required for operation, weight, seismic requirements, fireproofing, etc.) before decisions are made to move forward with this concept. Still - very flexible possibilities now that the machine is built and working. I will certainly look forward to seeing what they do with it next.“ says engineer Gheorge Bitca, head of OCTAGON's tendering department.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One great
advantage of 3D printing over traditional building techniques (such as
prefabricated concrete) is the possibilities of using a high level of detail
and ornament and variation. Rather than using standardized elements, 3D printed
designs can each be modified and customized to fit the user's needs and taste.
It will no longer be more expensive or more labour intensive to add details to,
for example, your façade and it is easy to create unique objects.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">3D printing
is an additive manufacturing technique. That means the process goes straight
from the raw material to the final product, thus eliminating waste. There are
no transport costs, as designs can simply be transferred digitally and printed
locally.</span></div>

disadvantages, it is obviously a huge challenge to create a building that
complies with all the current building regulations. There is the question of

University researchers have been developing 3D concrete printing technology for
commercial purposes. They came up with a system that is made up of a gantry and
robotic arm, which they are still perfecting. This device uses very exact
computer control to extrude cement-based mortar into layers and create building
components that can then be joined together into a larger structure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The researchers are certain that this
technology already allows for the building of complex structures that would
prove a challenge for traditional construction. In fact, their 3D concrete
printer could potentially print whole sections of a building with all the
electrical and plumbing spaces already in place. This would cut down on the
building time considerably, even when the project is a large, multi story

And developers rolled the dice in favor of <b>OCTAGON</b>. The company made the best of the market opportunities and managed last year to deliver two major office buildings, both of them located in Bucharest: <a href="http://www.octagon.com.ro/eng/ongoing-projects" target="_blank">Green Court Bucharest </a>– building B and <b>Hermes Business Campus</b>- building B.<br />
<br />
How did we do it? It was not easy, but we somehow managed to master extremely tough site conditions, we put in a lot of hard work and used the latest technologies in building processes. Below are highlights from each project.<br />
<br />
<b><i>As green as it gets</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
What did the real estate giant Skanksa envision when they decided to develop the office complex <b>Green Court Bucharest</b>? Large open office spaces, easy to reach from any area of Bucharest, with lots of green elements, in order to create a healthy comfortable working environment.<br />

<br />
<br />
How did this concept translate into design? The project includes three office buildings stretching over 52,000 sqm, built in Bucharest’s office hub, at the crossroads of Barbu Văcărescu Blvd and Pipera Road, within five minutes walk from Aurel Vlaicu metro station. Skanska also thought of making the project as green as possible and thus implemented “green” solutions, such as glass façade with low heat transfer, natural lighting in over 85% of the working areas, power stations for electric cars charging, bicycle parking areas and facilities such as showers and locker rooms.<br />
<br />
<b>OCTAGON</b> was hired to build the infrastructure and superstructure of building A and the superstructure of building B and successfully delivered both projects in 2013 and 2104.<br />
<br />
Building A has a GLA of 19,500 sqm, 12 floors and is 91% leased by clients such as Schneider Electric România, Orange România, LS TRAVEL RETAIL Romania. The building was acquired by real estate investor Globalworth Real Estate Investments Ltd for 44 million euro.<br />
<br />
Building B has a total GLA of 18.000 mp, 12 floors and 3 underground parking levels, with 315 available parking spaces. The second phase of the project also features sustainable solutions to minimize the impact of the building on the environment and to significantly reduce operational costs.<br />
<br />
Modern technologies such as energy efficient double façade, efficient lighting systems, equipped with movement and intensity sensors, were used.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Beating the odds</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
In 2010 Belgian developer Atenor Group decided to build their first project in Romania, right across Pipera metro station. Building a 78,000 sqm office complex in a moment when the market was on a downward path seamed, at the time, extremely ambitious. Four years later, the first of the three buildings was delivered by <a href="http://www.octagon.com.ro/" target="_blank">OCTAGON</a> and the company is now working on building the second one.<br />
<br />
It sure was and still is a challenging project, but so far, it has beaten the odds. <b>Hermes Business Campus</b> started in a moment when the entire real estate market was on a downward path and few companies were thinking of relocating or leasing spaces in large scale office schemes.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
While building the first office unit of the complex, Austrian general contract, Alpine Bau, went bankrupt and <b>OCTAGON</b>, which was Alpine’s subcontractor, took over the project and continued the works.<br />
<br />
Building B covers 37,000 sqm, has eight floors above the ground plus technical floor and is fully leased. The Embassy of Netherlands, Xerox, SNC Lavalin and Synevo IT are among the tenants of the building.<br />
<br />
On the western façade photo voltaic cells were installed, thus ensuring 7% of the entire energy consumption for one year.<br />
<br />
<b>OCTAGON </b>used 31,000 cm of concrete and 3,600 t of metal fittings for the construction of building B. Three hundred people worked on the construction site and the project was delivered in June 2014.<br />
<br />
The office building is currently being BREEAM certified with Excellent rating on-design and post-construction, which represents the best certification a building can obtain in terms of sustainable and green features.<br />

Office take-up in Bucharest amounted to 132,000 sqm in H1
2014, up by 12% year-on-year, according to the latest survey of The Advisers/
Knight Frank. Pre- leases and relocations each accounted for 29% of leasing
deals, while renewals represented another 20%. Notably, firm expansions and new
market entries are on the rise- representing 22% of activity- supported by
strengthening economic conditions. The
Romanian economy powered ahead in 2013, with GDP growth exceeding expectations,
reaching 3.5%. Growth of approximately 2.5% is forecast for 2014. Business sentiment
continues to improve, with more international firms considering Bucharest as a
major outsourcing location in Central and Eastern Europe.</div>

providing 120,000 sqm of class A space. The development pipeline has also

Despite the increase in new supply, the average vacancy rate

The first half of 2014 saw a marked increase in property
investment activity, with total volumes reaching a remarkable 460 million USD.
Investment volumes in 2014 already exceed those of 2013 and, with several prime
assets on the market, further major
transactions are expected to be completed in the second half of the year. 2014
is on the track to surpass the total amount transacted over the last two years,
potentially breaking 2010’s record of 543 million USD.</div>

The largest deal in H 1 2014 saw investment fund Globalworth
purchase the Upground complex in Pipera from Deutsche Bank’s RREEF for some 200

<div class="MsoNormal">
While the current strong economic backdrop is attracting
greater investor interest, the limited availability of prime office stock
across major markets has proven to be a hindrance to activity. However, this is
set to change, as Bucharest’s stock of class A buildings continues to increase,
helping to improve office market conditions and offering a wide range of
opportunities to international investors.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a result, prime office yields in Bucharest have seen
moderate compression over the last twelve months, hardening by 25 bps to stand
at 8.00%. Sustained investment demand over the second half of the year is
likely to drive prime yields below 8.00%.</div>

The cumulated investments in these projects reached almost 350
million euro, while a shopping center,
such as AFI Palace Cotroceni from Bucharest cost 300 million euro and
the investment in Palas shopping mall from Iasi exceeded 250 million euro. Two
of these investments, the office projects Green Gate and AFI Park, benefited
from banking financing, which shows that the financial institutions keep being
prudent in granting loans for construction.</div>

Under these circumstances, two public projects have also
reached the top of investments: the

of 180 bln euro the companies must provide banking guarantees worth 1.8 billion
euro- 10% of the total turnover. The major issue is the fact that the 1.8
billion euro represent the double of the total share capital of these
companies. Besides the guarantees for the ongoing projects, the <b>construction companies</b> must also
provide post- execution guarantees of at least 5%. “Considering that the
profitability of the area does not exceed 6%, the burden of banking guarantees

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">A major
issue is the weak capitalization of <b>construction

find financing and capitalization solutions and this could only be done through
listing on <i>Bucharest Stock Exchange</i>.
Another solution to unblock the capitals would be to set- up employers’
associations or a guarantee fund, which could provide funds for eligible <b>construction companies</b>.<span> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">We all know
that these guarantees are not payment, but insurance instruments, that we give
to the beneficiaries. In order to solve this issue the <i>National Bank of Romania</i> could also relax the prudential rules and
allow the <b>constructors </b>to guarantee
with <b>insurance contracts</b>. We could
then use these <b>insurance contracts</b>
to obtain guarantees from the bank.” concluded <b>Alexandros Ignatiadis</b>.</span></span></div>

estimated cost for these projects, reaching<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>6.28 billion euro. Moreover, the Master Plan includes the construction
of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">express roads</b> totaling
approximately 2,200 km, the necessary funds for these projects accounting for
around 17.5 billion euro. According to the document, 2,674 km of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">trans-regional roads</b>, 293 km of

companies</b> participate in public bids for large <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">infrastructure projects</b>, during the TV show “Metropolis”, broadcast
by the “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Money Channel</b>”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Money Channel</b>:
What is your perspective on the Master Plan presented by the Minister of
Transport at the beginning of October?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Alexandros
Ignatiadis:</b> The Minister of Transport presents a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Transport Master Plan</i> on a regular basis. It is our obligations to
the European Community to send this report, but the question marks are related
to the lack of responsibility towards the objectives within the previous Master
Plans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We never find out which of these
have not been reached and who is responsible for the positive or negative
results. In the private sector, companies that do not perform, pay through low
profits or even losses, for the failed objectives. In the public sector we do
not have an evaluation and control system, which could hold those governing the
country, accountable. Each new government sends optimistic messages related to
the plans for the ongoing terms, but at the end of the term, the results are
always disastrous.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Money Channel</b>:
What changes should occur on the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">construction
market</b> to allow Romanian contractors to have access to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">road infrastructure projects</b>?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Alexandros
Ignatiadis:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A major issue, which
stops Romanian <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">construction companies</b>
to participate in such large bids, is the weak capitalization. The financial
burden, represented by bank guarantees and performance guarantees, combined
with long delays on payments made by the state, which is the beneficiary of
these projects, are the main causes why Romanian companies cannot stand the
competition against foreign companies. A method to attract capital would be
through Bucharest Stock Exchange, but right now there is no Romanian <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">construction company</b> listed on the
Stock Exchange.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second negative factor is the interference of politics
in public bids, which could be eliminated by licensing the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">construction companies</b>. Through licensing, only the companies with
a certain level of capitalization and a certain level of expertise would have
access to bids. Right now, the Romanian legislation allows any company, set up
six months ago, with a share capital of 200 lei and obviously devoid of the
necessary expertise, to be eligible for the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">construction</b> of large <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">infrastructure
projects</b>. The only condition is to partner with other companies willing to
provide technical or financial support.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The licensing of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">construction
companies</b> would stop the phenomenon of “flat companies”, set up over night,
politically backed, which vanish right after the end of the term of those who
have supported them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Licensing could also solve the issue of contested results,
which prolong almost three times the life cycle of a project.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We all know that, within all European projects, the funds
are allocated for a certain term and if the implementation of the project
exceeds the initial term, the funds can no longer be absorbed. In Romania the
execution terms of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">infrastructure projects</b>
are prolonged 3 to 4 times due to the mentioned issues, and at the end of each
year we manage to always wonder about the same thing: why do we absorb such a
low percentage of the allocated European funds? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Romania had, at the end of last year, 644 km of highway, 16,466
km of national roads, 35,587 km of county roads and 32,190 km of village roads.
According to the Master Plan, there are no express roads in Romania.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Octagon will end 2014 with a 16 million euro
turnover, a decline on the turnover reported last year, according to the
estimates of Alexandros Ignatiadis, co- founder and shareholder of the company.
The anchor of Octagon during the crisis was the Iraqi market, he told us during
an interview, stressing that the company wants to consolidate its position in
this country, where it already has two ongoing projects. Alexandros Ignatiadis
believes that the Romanian construction market needs restructuring, as it
operates on 900 million euro annual losses and as in the past 20 years it has
been negatively affected by political instability. Mr. Ignatiadis told us that
the beginning of the year was characterized by effervescence in the private
real estate sector, but, after the end of the first semester, many projects
have slowed down. </span></i></b></div>

this regulation occurs and if the state grants fiscal incentives for the sector
consolidation. There is also a law draft initiated by the Romanian Association
of Construction Entrepreneurs (ARACO), to eliminate from the competition, the
companies set up overnight, that have access to public projects worth hundreds
of millions of euro. Another solution would be to merge several Romanian
companies in order to create companies with a superior financial power, able to
access tenders for very high value projects. The construction sector is still a
brake for economic growth, due to the fact that the political stabilization
process has not ended yet</span></div>
