How Digital Tech Is Reshaping Russia’s Construction Industry

From automated quality control to fully integrated project management, Russian developers are betting on end-to-end digital platforms to speed up builds and boost transparency.

In St. Petersburg, Russian Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing Konstantin Mikhaylik outlined the growing role of digitalization in the nation’s building sector. At a recent meeting, officials and industry leaders focused on deploying end-to-end management systems that cover the entire lifecycle of construction projects — from initial design to final handover.

Residential developments in the city are already using digital platforms to automate planning, quality control, and even the process of transferring apartments to buyers. Experts say these tools not only accelerate construction but also increase transparency, a key concern for both regulators and the public.

The discussion also highlighted the development of new IT products for project management. Russian companies showcased proprietary software designed to streamline workflows and cut costs.
