Because of the sanctions, Russian developers left tens of thousands of Russians homeless

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the number of "problem" new buildings in Russia has almost doubled.

There are delays in putting more than 800 houses into operation, in which 74 thousand families were supposed to live, write blogger Ihor Lachenkov with a link to Rosmedia.

The risk of bankruptcy of construction companies is gradually increasing, so some of the new buildings may remain unrealized. This is due to sanctions, a shortage of construction materials, and the exit from the Russian market of enterprises that provided construction processes at all stages. 

In particular, the design of buildings will be complicated due to the suspension of the software for construction, among which - Autodesk, the largest developer of 3D design software.

The departure of Stora Enso, Europe's largest lumber producer, and Tenaris, the world's largest steel pipe producer, had a significant impact. Similarly, in Russia, they were not ready for the exit of the Irish company Kingspan, as well as the Swiss company Holcim, which are considered leaders in the field of construction materials production.

In addition, a shortage of construction equipment is likely to be expected, as Komatsu, one of the largest manufacturers of construction equipment in the world, has also left the terrorist country's market. 

The process of arranging and furnishing premises also becomes problematic, because a significant number of furniture companies have stopped their work in the Russian Federation. Among the most famous are JYSK and IKEA, whose representative office announced the final withdrawal and sale of factories. 

Among them, Russia lost a number of architectural projects, which were to be implemented in cooperation with world architectural bureaus. But after the full-scale invasion, leading specialists stopped their activities in the Russian Federation.
