Dear colleagues, industry veterans!
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the construction industry of the Republic of Tatarstan. On October 22, 1921, the First State Universal Construction Office was established in Kazan by the Regulation "On State Construction Offices", which united several small construction organizations. It served as the basis for the creation of "Tatstroy" - the largest state construction organization in the republic, which employed about 10 thousand people. Today, the construction complex of Tatarstan is the largest sector of the economy, generating every eighth ruble in its gross regional product. This is an industry that employs over 85 thousand people and 400 enterprises. The contribution of builders to the stages of development of the republic cannot be overestimated. The builders took an active part in rebuilding the economic and social infrastructure destroyed by the war. The courage and selfless work of the people of our profession arouses sincere admiration in the current generation. The cities of Zakamye - Nizhnekamsk, Naberezhnye Chelny rose in an open field. Such industrial giants as KAMAZ, Nizhnekamsk hydroelectric power station, oil industry facilities were built. The modern period of development of the construction history of the republic is inextricably linked with a large-scale program of liquidation of dilapidated housing, the creation of the State Housing Fund under the President of the Republic of Tatarstan, new industrial complexes "TANEKO", SEZ "Alabuga", construction of the IT-city "Innopolis", world-class sports complexes. And today, dozens of programs are being implemented in the republic, within the framework of which schools and kindergartens, hospitals and clinics, cultural centers and sports facilities are being built, and cultural heritage sites are being restored. They affect absolutely all regions of Tatarstan, so that life is comfortable even in the most remote corners. New approaches and high technologies used in construction create unique opportunities for the development of the industry. This means that our profession will always be in demand. Modern builders do not just build houses, they model the future, creating a space for life and activity. Looking back, we understand what a difficult path the construction industry of the republic has traveled over the past century. But the representatives of the most peaceful profession on earth have many amazing accomplishments ahead. Dear friends and colleagues! With all my heart I wish you success in your creative work, the implementation of the most daring and ambitious projects. Good health, happiness and prosperity to you and your loved ones!
