Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Physical Planning Construction and State Property Branko Bai said on Tuesday ahead of the third anniversary of the Zagreb earthquake that the plan for this year is to complete all designs for the construction of replacement family houses.As for the construction of replacement family houses this is the worst part of the reconstruction after the Zagreb earthquake the fact is that we did not pass the exam on replacement houses if I may say so Bai said at a press conference ahead of the third anniversary of the earthquake in the capital.No replacement houses have yet been built and 247 applications have been submitted for construction. Among them public procurement is under way for 21 houses while 184 contracts have been signed for the design of houses he said.In early May the construction of 21 houses begins.By the end of this year the line minister announces significant progress in this segment of reconstruction.The plan for this year is to complete all designs for the construction of replacement family houses. At the beginning of May we will start building 21 houses and by the end of the year we will have work on 100 houses.When asked if the Government is responsible for the bad numbers when it comes to replacement family houses Bai replies that he will not go back in time but together with his associates will do everything to make up for the backlog.Every day I am in the area of Petrinja Glina or Zagreb I understand the dissatisfaction of our fellow citizens. What I can say is that we will geographically cluster public procurements in order to have a larger number of houses for construction in one place and thus attract large construction companies announced Bai.1951 application for structural renovation of buildings submittedBai also said what is the most important goal by the end of the first half of 2023 which is to pay 1.03 billion euros for reconstruction projects from the Solidarity Fund.It is less important whether a school college or government and parliament building will enter that billion euros. What goes into construction the renovation will be done anyway and can be financed by some other model say from national funds or npoo the minister replied when asked if the project of renovation of the two most important buildings on St. Marks Square had failed.As for the structural renovation of damaged buildings since 1951 the claim submitted the renovation of 23 buildings and houses has been completed. An average of 400 euros were paid per one construction renovation Bai notes.Renovation of 32 buildingsThe renovation is underway on 32 buildings while 9 multi-apartment buildings in the center of Zagreb are undergoing public procurement of contractors.Its harder to build a hospital than to build a new one. For example the most demanding construction works are carried out at the Merkur hospital which is why the number of halls and rooms has been reduced and somewhere you have to accommodate all patients and doctors said the line minister adding that structural renovations are complex and demanding processes.In addition to projects of structural renovations and construction of replacement family houses Bai announces housing care for families living in containers.State real estate is being renovated by 216 derelict apartments. Unfortunately most of them are in Zagreb so it is difficult to expect that someone will want to move here from for example a house in Glina the minister said.Line ministers and mayor visited the renovation works of buildings in ZagrebLine ministers Branko Bai Radovan Fuchs and Nina Obuljen Korinek and The Mayor of Zagreb Tomislav Tomaevi visited several locations of renovation of buildings damaged by the earthquake in Zagreb three years ago on Tuesday.They were convinced on the spot that work was underway at the Titus Brezovaki Gymnasium the building in orieva 20 and the buildings of the Croatian Music Institute and the Faculty of Agriculture.For the building in Djordjiceva street a structural renovation in the amount of 600000 euros was contracted works began in December last year and Construction Minister Branko Bai announced that completion is expected by the end of the year.Bai pointed out that there is an exceptional interest in self-renovation in the Zagreb area especially now that it has been announced that the entire amount will be paid to the account of either the building manager or the representative of the tenants or the owner of the house.We will immediately start when we determine the level of renovation when we know whether it is a structural or non-constructive renovation or the construction of a replacement house we will pay the amount necessary for both the project and the execution of the works and the supervising engineer the minister said.In addition he points out part of the money is provided that is intended for coordination of self-renovation and the funds are paid either to the building manager or to the person agreed together by the owners and who will lead to self-renovation on their behalf or only to the owner of the building if he decides to self-renovate.
