Buildecon >> EECFA
Twelve years after Buildecon was founded with the purpose of carrying out comparable research in 8 Eastern European construction markets, and after two years of nesting, there is a major change in our life. A new association was formed last November in order to serve your market intelligence and planning needs better. In it, local research institutions work under the umbrella of a central body. This is the Eastern European Construction Forecasting Association. The first materialization of this transition is a conference organized by EECFA in Moscow this September, and all Forecast Reports will be released there. Please check out the programme on www.eecfa.com. This transition does not affect our membership in Euroconstruct, thus, we will continue to provide the Hungary Report to Euroconstruct in the future as well.
