Sert said that applications have been made to the Federation of All Construction Contractors and the Confederation of Construction Contractors.

ADDITIONAL TIME MUST BE PROVIDED

Dr. Selman Özgün, member of the Real Estate and Real Estate Investment Trust Association (GYODER), stated that the real estate sector is one of our locomotive sectors that affects 15% of our country's economy. When it comes up to the negative effects of the virus, there might be a time problem in the construction contracts for flat for land method, land share or remuneration , especially for contractors. This can appear in two ways: ‘’The first is due to the fact that the production period is extended due to the fact that the production has to be interrupted by the workforce for various reasons, and the second is that due to the fact that the origin of some materials specified in the contracts are abroad and it can not be provided for a certain period of time. For such reasons, construction contractors can request additional time. Contractors will for the previously mentioned reasons struggle to fulfill their commitments. Additional time may be required,’’ said Dr. Özgün.
