The Croatian construction sector has recently become richer for a unique business platform Building.hr. The platform is conceived as the largest and most relevant database of information, contacts and other valuable and relevant content for companies that are the present and future of Croatian construction. The main goal of the platform is to network and connect companies, help them find adequate and proven partners and subcontractors, speed up and simplify processes, and ultimately contribute to a stronger development of construction in Croatia.
Behind the idea, development and launch of the Building.hr is a team led by Maja Borovina Frankić, an experienced economist who has been working in the construction sector for many years through engagement in the family business Spegra, a leader in the niche of remediation works, through which she detected first-hand the challenges that companies face.
The platform Building.hr was created precisely in response to the long-standing problems that the construction sector is continuously struggling with, which have been extremely emphasized in the last few years – lack of labor, non-systematic data, unavailability of information, poor B2B cooperation, disproportion of supply and demand with regard to geographical position, and a significant lag behind digital trends.
"The platform Building.hr is a direct solution to these problems based on innovation and is the result of many years of analysis, reflection and dealing with these problems. The idea has been around for almost ten years, it has been intensively developed for the last four years, and with the beginning of 2023 it has seen the light of day. It is conceived as an exclusive, digital ecosystem of the entire market in which private and public investors, companies regardless of size and activity, independent experts, various institutions and institutions can find their place, and they have in common that they participate in the construction market. By increasing collaborations between companies, we can together reduce and eliminate the difficulties we all encounter. Equally important, part of the goals we have set for Building.hr are altruistic, unprofitable, with the aim of strengthening the construction of Croatia for which there is a significant space", said Maja Borovina Frankić.
In just over 2 months since the launch of the platform, Building.hr already has over 500 registered companies. The platform will, among other things, have the option of reviewing companies, it will inform, for example, about new materials that have arrived on the Croatian market, about new trends in foreign markets... The user interface is simple and intuitive guides the user through the registration process and helps him to present his company or its needs in as much detail as possible.
"So far, we have really good feedback from our users who, as they say, have recognized the qualitative and conceptual difference of this platform in relation to some existing ones. By developing Building.hr and registering an increasing number of market stakeholders, platform users are easily accessible and systematic data, easier to find business entities, achieve B2B cooperation, job advertisements and marketing. All those who consume their income in the construction market, regardless of whether they are technical, economic or other orientation, are invited to join and to make this part of the market better in a simpler way in one place. Our slogan is precisely: BUILDING.HR – WE MAKE IT SIMPLE", added Maja Borovina Frankić.
