Over a decade, Kazakhstan’s metropolises have been seeing a persistent demand for real estate, with a continuing positive development. The cost-effective production of precast concrete elements comes along simultaneously.

Covering an area of nearly 2.7 mln km², Kazakhstan is the ninth largest country in the world. As an emerging country with an economic growth of roughly 10 % on average since 1999, Kazakhstan is prominent in Central Asia leaving all other countries in the region behind. This economic development is also stimulating the construction boom.

Besides Kazakhstan is one of the most resource-rich countries all over the world. There are large crude-oil and natural-gas fields around the Caspian Sea. The Kostanay region is rich in iron ore resources, and gold is mined in the Altay Mountains. The...
