Challenges of the construction industry of transition countries

Construction industry is often criticized around the world, especially in the so-called transition countries. The faults, which it is always accused of, originate from the nature of the projects. These weak points include corruption, cost overrun, inadequate quality, not paying the subcontractors, tax evasion etc. This paper attempts to shed a light on the fact that these phenomena are not new and specific to this area. They have always existed in the history of civilization. The authors can only hope that some time we can overcome these problems that have always darkened the construction industry.
