The modernization program includes the installation of new universal process equipment able to be remodeled according to a variety of the product range, as well as to a significant increase in the production capacity. Changes in traditional production schemes by the automation and use of modern equipment leads to an increase in product quality and reduce in production costs.

The result of the development of new technological solutions will be the transfer of basic production operations directly from the construction site into the workshops. As a result, the main product will be houses with a modern attractive appearance and high-quality interior engineering systems ensuring increased energy efficiency. In addition, one of the major advantages of panel housing construction is the reduction of construction time and ultimate cost of housing for consumers.

At the first stage it is planned to invest in the plant upgrading more than 700 million rubles involving credit funds of the Sberbank of Russia. The project was included in the federal program on modernization of Russian construction industry and claimed to compensate for the interest rate.
