10 reliable developers in Moscow

The reliability of the builder is a very conditional and changeable indicator. In today's realities of the economy, problems can happen even to a previously stable company that has been showing excellent results for many years. Many new buildings are put into operation with a postponement, but insignificant, and often this happens due to external circumstances.Does this fact indicate the unreliability of the company? Probably not.

To determine the reliability of developers, we tried to analyze the maximum available information. The basis of our rating is customer reviews, their complaints about shortcomings, missed deadlines, poor quality finishes and poor infrastructure. We looked at the websites of companies, completed and new projects, forums where residents discuss everyday problems and the positive aspects of apartments. In addition, getting into the rating and the distribution of places in it was influenced by the volume of construction for the past year and for the entire time of existence, deviation from the deadlines indicated in the project documentation, and the company's experience. Similar ratings from other authoritative publications and rating agencies were also taken into account.

9 A101

Company A101 is one of the leaders in Moscow in terms of construction volumes, which accounts for more than 5% of the total number of housing being built in the metropolitan area. Everything would be fine, but problems have arisen with the commissioning of housing in a timely manner in recent years. If you believe the statistics of the Unified Resource of Developers, in 2020 and 2021 all new buildings were commissioned in violation of the deadlines, in 2019, 80% of the objects had a delay in delivery dates. Partially, the delays of the last two years are related to the pandemic, but a delay of 7-12 months is still extremely unpleasant for apartment buyers.

In fairness, it should be noted that houses are still being put into operation, in 2021 about 226 thousand square meters were commissioned, which is much more than many other companies. The developer has no explicit long-term construction projects. Credit rating according to RA Expert version ruA-, stable outlook. The indicator is not the highest, but also very good.

So, in the residential complex Danish Quarter, you can buy housing at a price of 5.4 million rubles, although this project is located outside the Moscow Ring Road.

FGC does not have any long-term construction projects, but delays in the commissioning of facilities are not uncommon, especially over the past year. Whether the builder is to blame for this is difficult to judge unambiguously. As a result, all projects are delivered, albeit with delays. In terms of current construction volumes, the company is in 6th place in Moscow, ahead of many others.

7 Ingrad

The Ingrad company has 2.5 million square meters of real estate in the comfort and business category, and in terms of the volume of current construction, it is in the TOP-5 of the largest developers in Moscow.
