In 2014, as the Bulgarian construction market was recovering from the crisis and demand for quality residential and office buildings was beginning to rise, a young construction company with great ambition emerged – determined to deliver the highest quality. With the right combination of specialists and know-how, Buildex quickly became a reliable partner for overachieving investors. The Buildex team builds reliably and to the highest standard, using the best materials, projects ranging from boutique to large-scale residential buildings, offices, industrial facilities and specialised buildings. Against this background, the next step for the company's founder, Sergey Sindrakov, was a logical one. In partnership with Kamen Ivanov, he established the investment company Buildex Investment, which focuses on signature residential projects in the premium segment.

How did you manage to build a company that achieved such success in a relatively short period of time?

Sergey Sindrakov: When the real estate market began to pick up, I looked for an open niche and decided that construction offered development potential and the opportunity to take on as many new projects as possible. We started small, but have grown over the years. We do not have staff turnover – we are constantly hiring new people. The company is run by a solid management team, and the pay is very good. Through a great deal of hard work and sleepless nights, Buildex has become what it is today.

After thousands of trials and errors, and many lessons learned, the time came for our own investment projects. With Buildex Investment our goal is to create signature buildings. We want to build homes, not just properties. We want to create homes that we ourselves would want to live in, reflecting our experience as investors and builders, our architectural vision and the quality of the materials used: ventilated facades, aluminium window frames, quality elevators and dynamic, bespoke designs for shared areas. Everything must be crafted to perfection. We are willing to compromise on our profit margin, but not on the comfort of residents or the quality of execution.

What are the first projects by Buildex Investment?

Kamen Ivanov: We are working on two exclusive residential projects in Manastirski Livadi – East. VISTA River Park is a gated community, while Buildex Homes consists of three buildings – Alpha, Beta, and Gamma – which form a complex yet function independently. Half of VISTA River Park has already reached structural completion phase (Act 14). Groundbreaking for Buildex Homes took place in May, and we estimate that it will have its cetificate for competion (Act 15) by the end of 2026 or early 2027.

What criteria must an office building meet, and how does Buildex manage to meet them?

SS: The design, construction and materials used for this type of building must meet high standards, and execution is challenging and complex. Office buildings are becoming taller, having to meet more requirements – for instance, they must have fast, reliable elevators. Facades must be exceptionally well executed. Investors in such buildings must be highly responsible because, once the structure is built, it requires significant maintenance.

We have extensive experience in constructing such buildings. In Sofia, there are four or five buildings taller than 70-80 metres, and Buildex has constructed three of them.

Buildex has won two Building of the Year awards in the healthcare facilities category. What impressed the jury?

SS: Hospitals and clinics are among the most complex types of construction due to the numerous requirements for such type of buildings. It is essential to ensure the highest standard of sanitary environment, because these are spaces for sick people. If gamma or radiation therapies are involved, for instance, the walls need to be two metres thick to prevent exposure to radiation. These were truly challenging projects, which we completed to a high standard.

Buildex has delivered two rather unusual projects: the St Prince Boris I church in Plovdiv and an innovative prison without bars. How do they stand out?

SS: St Prince Boris I will be the largest church in Plovdiv – a project that anyone should undertake in their lifetime if given the chance. The prison was a serious challenge. Nothing like it had ever been built in Bulgaria before: without bars, with special rooms for social activities, and constructed under a Norwegian programme. It is a high-class facility with central air conditioning, underfloor heating, aluminium joinery and ventilated facades. An extremely complex and demanding structure with advanced access control.

What have you learned since Buildex entered the market?

SS: You need a great deal of drive and ambition, as well as a big goal to pursue. You also need a lot of patience because construction is a process where everything has its own sequence and timeline. For me, this whole journey is a source of immense satisfaction. Walking down the street and seeing something you built living its own life is priceless.

Buildex & Buildex Investment: От идеи към сгради

Сергей Синдраков и Камен Иванов имат мисия – да създават жилища, а не просто имоти

През 2014 г., когато българският строителен пазар се възстановяваше от кризата и търсенето на качествени жилищни и административни сгради започваше да расте, се появи млада строителна компания с голяма амбиция – да дава най-доброто качество. С правилната комбинация от специалисти и ноу-хау, Buildex бързо стана надежден партньор на онези инвеститори, които си поставят високи цели и знаят как да ги постигнат. От бутикови до големи жилищни сгради, административни, промишлени и специализирани сгради – екипът на Buildex строи надеждно, качествено и с най-добрите материали. На този фон следващата стъпка на основателя на компанията Сергей Синдраков е логична. В партньорство с Камен Иванов той създаде инвестиционната компания Buildex Investment с фокус върху емблематични жилищни проекти във високия сегмент.

Как успяхте да създадете компания, която постигна такива успехи за сравнително кратък период от време?

Сергей Синдраков: Когато пазарът на недвижими имоти се раздвижи, се огледах къде има свободна ниша и прецених, че сградното строителство предлага перспективи за развитие и възможност да обхване максимално много нови проекти. Започнахме с малки неща, но с годините се развихме. При нас няма текучество на хора, непрекъснато наемаме нови. В компанията работи сериозен ръководен персонал, заплащането е много добро. С много усилия и безсънни нощи се случи това, което е Buildex в момента.

Съвсем естествено – след хиляди проби, грешки и научени уроци, дойде моментът за собствени инвестиционни проекти. Идеята ни е да правим само емблематични сгради. Да създаваме жилища, а не имоти. Домове, в които и ние бихме искали да живеем, които въплъщават нашия опит като инвеститор и строител, като архитектурни виждания и качество на материалите – вентилируеми фасади, алуминиеви дограми, хубави асансьори, общи части с раздвижен дизайн. Всичко да е максимално изпипано. Готови сме да направим компромис с нашата печалба, но не е и с комфорта на обитателите и качеството на изпълнението.

Кои са първите проекти на Buildex Investment?

Камен Иванов: Работим по два ексклузивни жилищни проекта в Манастирски ливади – изток. VISTA River Park е изцяло затворен комплекс, а Buildex Homes се състои от три сгради – "Алфа", "Бета" и "Гама", които образуват комплекс, но всъщност са самостоятелни. Половината от VISTA River Park е вече на акт 14. 

Камен Иванов

Първата копка на Buildex Homes беше през май, като разчетите ни са да получат акт 15 до края на 2026 г. или началото на 2027 г.

На какви критерии трябва да отговаря една административна сграда и как Buildex успява да ги покрие?

СС: Изискванията към такъв тип сгради са високи като проект, строителство и вложени материали, а строителството им е трудно и сложно като изпълнение. Административните сгради стават все по-високи, а това повишава изискванията към тях, например – от хубави и бързи асансьори. Фасадите трява да са изключително добре направени. Инвеститорът на такава сграда трябва да е много отговорен – защото след като е построена, тя изисква сериозна поддръжка.

Опитът ни в строителството на такива сгради вече е сериозен. В София има четири-пет сгради, високи над 70-80 м – Buildex е построил три от тях.

Buildex е носител на две награди Сграда на годината – в категорията за здравни заведения. С какво спечелихте журито?

СС: Строителството на болници и ДКЦ-та е едно от най-сложните поради многобройните изисквания за такъв тип сгради. Трябва да осигуриш санитарна среда от най-високо ниво, защото все пак става въпрос за болни хора. Ако има гама или лъчетерапии, стените трябва да са по два метра, за да няма облъчване. Действително предизвикателни проекти, с които се справихме отлично.

Vista River Park

Buildex е изпълнител на два необичайни проекта – църквата "Св. Княз Борис I" в Пловдив и иновативен затвор без решетки. С какво се открояват те?

СС: "Св. Княз Борис I" ще бъде най-голямата църква в Пловдив – дело, което човек трябва да направи в живота си, ако му се отдаде възможност. Затворът беше доста сериозно предизвикателство. В България досега не е строено подобно нещо – без решетки, със специални помещения за социални дейности, по норвежка програма. Сграда от много висок клас, с централа климатизация, подово отопление, алуминиеви дограми, вентилируеми фасади. Изключително сложно и тежко съоръжение, със сериозен контрол на достъпа.

Какво научихте, откакто Buildex е на пазара?

СС: Човек трябва да има много голям хъс и желание, и голяма цел, към която да се стреми. Да се зареди с много търпение, защото строителството е процес, в който нещата си имат определена последователност и срокове. За мен всичко това е източник на огромно удовлетворение. Да ходиш улицата и да виждаш как нещо, което ти си съградил, живее своя живот – това е безценно.
