Procurement, pricing, and construction near airfields – Svyrydenko explained the decisions of the "Construction Cabinet"
Kyiv • UNN
The Cabinet of Ministers introduced framework agreements for procurement and updated market pricing. Construction near airfields and appeal mechanisms have been regulated.
The government held a "construction Cabinet meeting," during which it adopted decisions to deregulate procurement, pricing, and construction in aerodrome-adjacent territories — Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko explained the essence of the government's decisions on social media on Tuesday, UNN reports.
Procurement
A framework agreement mechanism is being introduced for construction projects implemented with state funds. This is expected to allow for the formation of a list of contractors capable of performing work for specific objects and to quickly select an executor for a particular site.
"The result should be a significant reduction in procedure timelines and a faster launch of the reconstruction of housing, infrastructure, and social facilities," the head of government commented.
Pricing
Approaches to estimates are being updated — they must correspond to real market conditions and take into account actual costs, including labor compensation levels.
"We must reduce shadow practices and make the market more transparent. In parallel, we are launching a database of prices for construction materials in the Unified State Electronic System in the field of construction," Svyrydenko noted.
Construction in aerodrome-adjacent territories
A separate block of decisions concerns the regulation of construction in aerodrome-adjacent territories. The government is implementing a clear mechanism for considering restrictions in cases where some airfields do not have valid certificates, and is also updating the procedure for interaction between urban planning, aviation, and defense authorities. This is expected to unblock construction near airfields without compromising safety requirements.
These steps are part of a comprehensive urban planning reform. Previously, the government had already adopted decisions regarding the improvement of licensing procedures and appeal mechanisms.
In particular, construction clients were given the opportunity to choose where to receive administrative services — from local authorities or the State Inspection of Architecture and Urban Planning (DIAM) — to reduce dependence on a single decision and speed up the process.
A mechanism was also launched to appeal refusals of urban planning conditions to DIAM: if a refusal is unjustified, the project is no longer blocked and can move forward. The Ministry of Development and the Ministry of Justice are already working on a bill that will establish clear deadlines for appealing construction decisions, the Prime Minister indicated.
