Certifying six of Poland's best

During the recent Murator Expo Fair "New House, New Apartment, Spring 2007," the Polish Association of Construction Industry Employers (PZPB) awarded six developers with its Developer's Certificate, which confirms their provision of high quality services. Wrocław-based Dom.developer was granted the certificate for the first time. The others - Agencja Inwestycyjna, Arbet, Robyg Development, Inwado and BRE.locum - had their certificates extended. So far, 34 companies have received the certificate.

"We want to make people aware that signing a contract with a reliable partner, audited during the certification procedure, is the best choice for the customer and a guarantee of safety and high quality," says Henryk Urbański, chairman of the real-estate board of PZPB.

Urbański's team has also produced the free publication A Self-Help Book For Apartment Buyers, directed towards people buying their first apartment. The book aims to help first-time buyers avoid obstacles and traps, and explains the procedures of buying a flat.

"For most of us, buying an apartment is one of the most important decisions in life. We need to make preparations in order to ensure our choice is the best one possible. The internet makes that all easier. However, it takes time to find information. Thanks to the self-help book, the purchase can be less risky, because experts explain the whole process step by step," says Marek Michałowski, president of PZPB.
