About the center

The All-Russian Center for National Construction Policy (VCNSP) is a leading organization engaged in expert and managerial activities in the field of construction in the Russian Federation.

The Center is actively involved in shaping strategic
directions for industry development and creating conditions for the integration of the Russian construction complex into the global community.

The mission

The main mission of the CNS is to ensure the sustainable development of the country's construction industry and increase its competitiveness at the national and international levels.

The main areas of work

The VCNSP conducts a detailed analysis of the construction sector, including technologies, staffing, production of building materials and equipment, the level of design and engineering of contractors. Special attention is paid to the analysis of construction volumes and the investment climate in different regions and at the international level.

In cooperation with partner countries, the Center develops projects in the field of education, housing and social infrastructure construction, and integrated territorial development. New production facilities for building materials and components are also being opened on the territory of foreign countries.

The VCNSP is actively working to attract businesses to implement construction projects in partner countries, including the construction and restoration of infrastructure facilities.

The VCNSP initiates and coordinates the implementation of large-scale projects both in Russia and abroad. This includes the integrated development of territories, including the construction of residential facilities, social and resort infrastructure, as well as landscaping.

The VCNSP organizes international forums, conferences, exhibitions and business missions in order to create a platform for the exchange of experience and cooperation between countries. The events showcase the best practices and achievements of the construction sector, as well as contribute to deepening cooperation in the field of technology, design and building materials.

Within the framework of the events, direct negotiations are held between entrepreneurs of the construction industry, which contribute to the conclusion of commercial contracts, exchange of views and the formation of long-term business ties.

Based on the conducted analytical studies and activities, the VCNSP forms proposals for the Government of the Russian Federation to improve cooperation with partner countries in the construction and investment sector.

Based on the results of analytical work and activities, documents are being developed that contain conclusions, recommendations and comprehensive action plans aimed at developing international cooperation and investment activity in the construction
industry.
