The volume of residential space in houses under the renovation program in Moscow increased by 20 percent

The volume of residential space in houses being built under the renovation program in Moscow has increased by 20 percent over the past two years. The optimization of projects helped with this, RIA Novosti reports the words of the deputy mayor of the capital for urban planning policy, Vladimir Efimov.

According to him, the city began to receive more residential square meters with the same volume of construction work. Across the entire program, this allows saving about 100 billion rubles annually.

Efimov noted that the principle of increasing usable area is also applied in the construction of administrative buildings and social infrastructure facilities. Thanks to project optimization, capital costs for construction have decreased by almost 20 percent this year.
