Contractors’ limited construction capacity to block booming investments in the Polish railway sector?

11 mar 2024

Aggregate capital expenditure on railway infrastructure that is planned for 2024-2030 as part of several public investment programmes is nearly PLN 250bn. This is twice as much as the railway construction sector’s actual capacity. In view of such a vast disparity, we can expect that the official plans will need to be revised and verified, resulting in discontinuing some of the projects planned or extending their duration. In fact, realigning the ambitious investment plans to the actual construction capacity of the relevant entities will likely be the outcome of these two approaches.

The Polish market of modular buildings is dominated by two technologies – concrete-based construction and wood-based construction. There is also a segment focused around steel-structure buildings growing beside the two leading technologies, but it is significantly smaller. In terms of the base materials, there is also a lightweight expanded clay aggregate wall technology. The main differences between the three major technologies consist in how the components are delivered to the construction site and the method of assembly.

As prefabrication technologies are increasingly applied in building construction, the value of the modular construction sector in Poland has increased nearly by half over the past two years. The process has been helped by a great selection of available materials as well as growing prices of materials and labour costs. Exports make a substantial contribution to the sector’s growth as sales to foreign markets represent over one-third of the manufacturers’ revenue. In spite of the brief slowdown, the outlook for modular construction through 2029 remains highly promising.
