Building.hr, the central platform for construction in Croatia, has reached the number of as many as 850 registered member companies in the half year since its launch. In addition to domestic ones, the platform was joined by some foreign companies, recognizing the value and potential opportunities that Building.hr offers, which are primarily useful and relevant sectoral information, contacts and business connectivity.
– we have developed Building.hr over the years, thoroughly and dedicated to detail. We believed that the concept would be recognized by colleagues in the construction sector, but the first wave of registrations and the figure of 850 companies really pleasantly surprised us and confirmed to us that we had created a useful product. This is just the beginning of the story, which, I believe, brings construction in Croatia in step with modern trends, simplifies business and ultimately indirectly enables growth of Croatian companies and the Croatian economy – said Maja Borovina Frankić, who is behind the idea and development of Building.hr, an experienced economist who has been working in the construction sector for many years through engagement in the family company Spegra, through which she detected first-hand the challenges that companies face.
The platform Building.hr aims to become the largest and most relevant database of information, contacts and other valuable and relevant content for companies from the construction and close sectors. A place where companies will network and connect companies, help them find adequate and proven partners and subcontractors, speed up and simplify processes. It was created as a response to the long-standing market situation and problems that the construction sector is continuously struggling with, which have been strongly emphasized in the last few years – lack of labor, data inaccessibility, unavailability of information, poor B2B cooperation, disproportion of supply and demand with regard to geographical position, and a significant lag behind digital trends.
– In the future, and very soon, we plan to expand the platform concept Building.hr offer colleagues from the sector more services and opportunities. Already at the end of 2023, we will present what it is about, and what I can say at this point is that it will be unique, useful and carefully thought out. Of course, users of the platform will also have advantages when consuming this new 'product', so I invite companies that have not yet to join the selected community of relevant stakeholders in our sector and to create more successful construction in Croatia together – said Borovina Franić.
