The investments whose general contractor was Budimex won as many as 7 awards in the “Construction of the Year 2021” competition, commonly known as the Construction Oscars. The Polish Association of Construction Engineers and Technicians awarded the best construction sites in Poland in terms of engineering completed in 2021.
The following investments were awarded to Budimex:
- Research and Development Centre of PKN Orlen in Płock

The PKN Orlen Research and Development Centre, which received the first degree award, is a structurally and technologically advanced investment consisting of eight facilities. The scale of the project is evidenced by the huge material outlays used to build the facility – 750 tons of steel were used to make it – 3 times more than the total weight of the Statue of Liberty. The complex of office and industrial buildings combining research and warehouse functions includes m.in. a technical building with a laboratory, research and testing facilities with a mapping and piloting hall with an area of nearly 2000 m² and the buildings of the sample and raw materials warehouse. As part of the investment, an external warehouse with an installation for preparing fuel mixtures was also built, as well as an office building, which is the administrative base of the entire complex and all the necessary technical infrastructure. The construction works carried out by Budimex also included the construction of infrastructure accompanying the buildings: internal roads, car parks and manoeuvring areas. The R&D Centre is located on an area of 43,000 m2.
The Sybir Memorial Museum is a special investment, the mission of which is to document and commemorate the fate of Polish citizens deported to Siberia, primarily during World War II, but also in the times before and after its end. The scope of works carried out by Budimex included the reconstruction of the existing post-military warehouse at ul. Węglowa and the construction of a new part of the facility for the needs of technical and administrative facilities. In order to implement the program assumptions, warehouse building No. 5 was adapted, in which the main exhibition and the part added for accompanying functions were placed. An outdoor exhibition on the reconstruction of buildings, wagons, as well as elements of the Polish Army’s armament was also included. The new part of the museum facility has been shaped in such a way as not to disturb the foundation of the existing warehouse. The building area is 3705.00 m2, the usable area is 5700.00 m2, and the building volume is 28,388.00 m3.
The awards were received by representatives of Budimex SA, composed of: Jakub Nagraba – Director of the General Construction Division, Marek Kułak – Director of the Contract for the construction of the Sybir Memorial Museum and Artur Adamus – Contract Director of the Research and Development Centre of PKN Orlen in Płock.
