Wow(( In Kharkiv region, the reconstruction of a former boarding school into housing for displaced people was contracted for 388 million UAH. The building will be outfitted with only 36 apartments, so the average cost per unit will be about 240 thousand dollars.
For comparison, on the secondary market in Zmiiv, two- and three-room apartments are being sold for approximately 25–26 thousand dollars.
The estimate showed inflated prices for building materials. Rebar, concrete, PVA dispersion, expanded polystyrene, and cable in the estimate are 19–47% more expensive than market offers. Over the verified items alone, possible overpayment amounts to about 8 million UAH.
The contract for 388 million UAH was awarded to LLC “Zhytlobud-3” with no competition – no one else showed up. And that’s not surprising, since the procuring authority included an interesting requirement: to apply for the tender, a company representative had to personally come to the Department during business hours, present a diploma in higher construction education, review the project, and sign the act with an official.
