Almost four months ago, the world stopped running. The pandemic for which no-one was prepared put to the test global economies, public and private companies and social institutions. The crisis which affected not only businesses but also ourselves is a severe test for everyone.

A test which is passed by one of the few industries in Poland - the construction industry.  So far, it has proved that people and companies in this sector have great courage and determination and a sense of responsibility. The Polish construction industry continued its activity despite initial fears, which is why it is in a much better situation than in other countries where work had been suspended. General contractors reorganized their construction sites, introduced a number of restrictions so as not to interrupt construction work. However, it would not be possible without our subcontractors and suppliers.  Thanks to their commitment, sense of solidarity and enormous effort work was continued on construction sites, the flow of supplies was not interrupted and good relations with our Clients were maintained.
