The choice of a construction company should be carried out as scrupulously as possible, because the safety of the investor's investments and the guarantee of receiving the constructed property depend on the reputation and reliability of the developer. In order not to contact one-day firms, it is important to thoroughly study the following points regarding the construction company:
It is necessary to study all the information available on the Internet about the company. First of all, you need to go to the official website of the developer. The more information is posted on the resource, the more pages and links it contains, the better. One-page sites with beautiful pictures and eye-catching slogans should not inspire confidence, much less the company that owns it. An important point confirming the reliability of the developer is his work experience, objects that have already been put into operation. If you wish, you can and even need to visit the construction site or already rented houses, talk to workers or residents.
You can ask workers about the timeliness of payments, ask about the availability and condition of tools and mechanisms, the timeliness of the receipt of building materials. From the residents of already built houses, you can learn about the observance of the deadlines for the delivery of the object, adherence to the clauses of the agreement, etc. Going deeper into your acquaintance with the construction company, pay attention to the investors. Be aware that a reliable bank will not invest in shell companies. The fact is that the investor himself first checks the reliability of the invested company. It will not be superfluous to study the developer's court cases: what claims were filed, their number and grounds, the prospects for debt payment.
You should not contact a developer that is in the process of bankruptcy or liquidation, has tax debts or other unpaid obligations. After reviewing all of the above, also remember that discounts and low prices for real estate in comparison with similar companies should raise suspicion rather than desire to cooperate.
Continuing your acquaintance with the developer, you need to study its documentation: the charter, the certificate of registration, the protocol on the appointment of the head of the organization, an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. All these documents confirm the legality of the construction company.It will not be superfluous to study the documentation confirming the right to build: a work permit, project documentation, papers on the right to a land plot (lease agreement or a document on ownership).
Ideally, when studying the documentation of a construction company, contact a lawyer, since our life knowledge and experience may not be enough to understand all this. In addition, the reliability of the company's documentation can be clarified with the tax office, which can provide a lot of useful information confirming, or vice versa, the reliability of the developer.
The type of contract that the developer will conclude with you is extremely important, because his obligations and your rights depend on this. Types of agreements that a construction company can offer in relation to a shareholder: equity participation contract, housing accumulation and housing construction cooperative, housing certificate. The conclusion of a preliminary or a loan agreement are alarming signs, since they do not give the shareholder all the necessary rights. It is better to refuse to cooperate with a developer who insists on a preliminary contract.
It must cover the following points without fail: the subject of shared construction, a specific indication of what the shareholder will receive (area, floor, address, number of rooms), cost, terms of payment under the contract, the period for transferring real estate to the shareholder, warranty periods. In no case should an agreement be entered into if the following points apply:
When concluding a contract, it is better to contact a knowledgeable lawyer in order to avoid unforeseen situations and not be left with anything.
So, information about the developer, his documentation and the study of the contract are the key points, having learned which you can protect yourself from losing money and property. Below we have presented a rating of the most reliable developers in Yekaterinburg. At the same time, we took into account all of the above reliability indicators, as well as real feedback from equity holders and tenants.

More than 40 construction companies are working on the territory of Yekaterinburg, of which we have identified four developers: Atomstroykomplex, LSR, Brusnika and PRINZIP. These companies have earned special attention from our side and many of their clients primarily due to their work experience: Atomstroykomplex has been in the construction services market since 1995, Brusnika since 2004, PRINZIP since 2005, LSR - since 2013.
The second reason why we have chosen these particular construction companies is their reliability.It manifests itself in the timely delivery of objects, the fulfillment of their obligations in relation to real estate investors and buyers, the absence of debts and serious lawsuits. In addition, these construction companies provide their clients with several options for purchasing real estate, among which everyone can choose the best option for themselves. Each of them cooperates with more than a dozen banks.
These companies also make full use of scientific advances in the construction industry, applying them to their facilities. This is manifested in the use of innovative materials and technologies. Each developer seeks to attract customers by offering new options for apartment layouts, equipping yards and the surrounding area, holding various promotions for the profitable acquisition of real estate. These are clear advantages that each of the 4 companies reviewed can be proud of.
Unfortunately, despite the huge amount of positive information about the considered developers, the reviews of tenants often show them not from the best side. Among the dissatisfaction of buyers of new buildings and their tenants, dissatisfaction with the finishing of apartments is leading. All of these developers offer a fine finish. It includes leveling walls for wallpaper, floors for laying floor coverings, but very often a fine finish does not allow people to finish cosmetic repairs and requires rework under warranty service.
The second point of dissatisfaction is the quality of the windows. This is probably one of the most common clashes between a developer and tenants. Windows are most often installed by contractors, from whom it is very difficult to get a sense, but still possible. The next point of discontent is the freezing of the walls and audibility. Unfortunately, these unpleasant moments come to light in the process of life in a new building and are not determined at the time of acceptance of the apartment, and also often tenants complain about the disorder of the yards at the time of delivery of the house, which causes a lot of inconvenience.
Unfortunately, this list is not complete and it can be continued. Every developer, even the largest and most reliable, is not ideal, however, in order to avoid most of the unpleasant moments, it is important to be as careful as possible when accepting an apartment, do not rush to sign an acceptance certificate without checking all the little things, even seemingly insignificant.
