In Břeclav, he already knows how to repair buildings, now he goes to learn more. Get inspired
“We have already completed one package of these projects, we have another one in cooperation with PKV and we are preparing the third one,” says Jakub Matuška, 1st Vice Mayor of Břeclav and Chairman of the Strategic Management Commission. “Even after the first one, we knew it would work and the numbers would be nice, so there was nothing to wait for and we started on the next ones. “
As elsewhere, we have dealt with increasing operating costs, especially at the winter stadium, we recorded huge consumption. Outside of it, this also covered the building of the municipal office or the city police and several buildings of schools. It was said that this is not the case, but when we counted the repairs, It came out to 60 million crowns. It was clear that we did not have this money and without a partner, whether financial or administrative, we could not make it. And because by the method EPC with us before South Moravian Region He repaired the hospital. we were inspired there. We needed confirmation that it could work and also arguments for the council.
Yes, because if the municipality or city never anything They didn't do that, it's very complicated at first. — you have a representative of the contracting authority who handles the formalities for you, there is a negotiation procedure with publication, in short, a lot of new things. Therefore, since we successfully implemented the first stage, other municipalities and cities have come to us for inspiration or for example the Jinag regional agency. Everyone asks us about finances and how long it takes. In reality, the selection process takes two years and then goes to work, Complications appear the same as with any other construction. Personally, I would recommend that they go to that city at the beginning of the parliamentary term.
When I look at the data for the second half of 2024, the aforementioned of the buildings of eight institutions it does about 40 percent on electricity and 25 percent on gas. Financially, it's for the third quarter 700k on electricity and a million on gas. The payback we had originally withcomputed for eight years, but thanks to the recent surge in energy prices, we are already somewhere at seven or 6.5 years. We were lucky. Energy prices shot up moments before we put the repaired buildings up and running. In the beginning, the engagement phase cost us something, but once everything was done, The savings it generates continuously are very nice.
No, we were counting on the second leg basically from the moment when it looked like the first would prove numerically. There was nothing to wait for. We own about 200 properties, so after the first package we selected eleven more objects, where although the savings are not so great anymore, we wanted to modify them for other reasons as well. Typing was time-consuming, we counted for a long time where it made the most sense, but it was necessary to do it. Participation amounted to about CZK 20 million and just a few days ago, the protocol arrived with who applied for the tender for the supplier and who we will negotiate with. For me, it is really good that the negotiation process with publication opens up the possibility to discuss everything with suppliers. But I know that not everyone wants to participate in this innovative project.
From my point of view it is The big plus is that, as a city, the market will tell us what is good and what is not. In the meantime, we They also bought energywho can already talk to suppliers in partnership and we have already experienced everything in process, so it is not unknown to us as at the beginning. We need feedback from the market. For large orders, this is invaluable and in this way it is also transparent. The complexity of things would otherwise catch up with us anyway, asking is needed.
The most important thing is to network and reach out to those who already have such projects behind them. Check with your city or municipality first for the money and evaluate whether your organization can handle it or if you need a partner and get one. And if it works out, go for it, it really pays off. When you go to EPC for the first time, you can chop up a lot of errors that can be unnecessarily expensive, such as a poorly written contract.
Take on a partner like us PKV and good people to the administration.
