An interactive map of all buildings under construction in Kyrgyzstan was presented by Nurdan Oruntaev, head of the Ministry of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services. Currently, more than 3,500 projects are registered in the State Registry.
According to him, the map operates in real time and covers all regions of the country. On the official website of the Ministry of Construction, one can select any project and receive full information: the project’s passport, technical specifications, and a QR code.
Nurdan Oruntaev noted that the presence of a QR code indicates that the project is under state supervision and meets established requirements. The same code is also posted on the construction site fence.
During the event, journalists were also shown the renovated administrative building of the Ministry of Construction, located at 28, Manas Avenue. Following a major renovation, working conditions for employees have been improved and work processes have been streamlined. The ministry also showed its archive, where copies of documentation for each construction project are stored.
Particular attention is paid to state expert review. As Nurdan Oruntaev explained, if a project is less than 500 square meters in area, a state expert review is not required. For larger projects, it is mandatory. The review includes, among other things, a seismic resistance check.
Only after the review has been successfully completed, the Ministry of Construction issues a construction permit. In cases where a building is being constructed illegally and lacks one of the key documents—a state expert review—such projects are deemed non-compliant with requirements, including seismic resistance.
«Based on this, we declare that such buildings are not earthquake-resistant and do not meet established safety standards,» Nurdan Oruntaev emphasized.
He added that earthquakes of magnitude 5-6 are possible in Kyrgyzstan, but modern construction projects are designed to withstand magnitudes of up to 8-9.
