The rough structure of the commercial-administration building City Center CB in České Budějovice is completed

The rough structure of the commercial-administration building City Center CB in České Budějovice mason June 27th a reason for celebration of so called "glajcha". The investor, company CITY CENTER CB s.r.o., together with the general contractor of the construction the joint-stock company HOCHTIEF CZ welcomed everybody on the occasion who wanted to share the joy of the mentioned milestone with them. As a matter of tradition this milestone is symbolized by an erected decorated birch.

The built up area of the object will be 4 688 m2 and the enclosure 103 530 m3. There will be 135 parking stands, seven of them intended for handicapped people.


Currently all earth works, foundations, reinforced concrete structures of the foundation slab and of one underground and six above ground floors are completed, whilst the assembly of the prefabricated façade and the glazed façade, as well as the assembly of the roof deck, heating, cooling, air-conditioning, sanitary installations, wiring and painting works are running. Plaster works, paving and cladding will be started very soon.


All construction works progress in such a way as to meet the planned deadline for the construction handover, November of this year.


Note: "Glajcha" is an expression derived from the German word "richtfest" – meaning celebration of the rough construction. The lexicon of words with foreign origin states even several meanings. It can represent the act of completing the structure up to the roof level, a decorated tree fitted to the roof truss during the celebration of completion of the rough structure, or it can mean a rough completion of a work task. The tree symbolizes good luck and protection of the house and its future occupants. The tradition has it that the proprietor offers refreshments to everybody who worked on the site during the "glajcha" festival.
