Skanska stays on schedule

The company claims that this is due to the fact that the developer and the general contractor for these projects belong to the same group.

“We are working on our residential projects according to the established schedules, and are even ahead of some of these. The mild winter has allowed us to speed up work where there was such a possibility. At the moment there have been no signs that we might need to suspend individual projects due to a lack materials or subcontracting companies. Most of the materials used in our projects are produced in Poland and so the risk of lack of supply at the moment is small,” explains Cezary Grzebalski, the director of project development of Skanska’s residential division.
