Q: How has your public sector experience shaped your leadership style? 

Bakuri Berekashvili, CEO, BK Construction: My experience in the public sector at the National Forensics Bureau played a fundamental role in shaping my leadership approach. Working as Deputy Head of the Regional Department of Western Georgia required rigorous analytical thinking, transparency and accountability. 

In that environment, decisions had to be evidence-based and carefully evaluated, often under significant pressure and responsibility. This experience taught me the importance of discipline, risk assessment and structured decision-making. 

Today, as CEO of BK Construction, I apply the same principles: strong governance, careful planning and a results-oriented culture. My leadership style emphasizes teamwork, data-driven decisions and maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. 

Q: How has your vision for the company evolved since 2016? 

BB: When I joined BK Construction, the main goal was to strengthen operational efficiency and build a sustainable growth strategy. Over time, that vision expanded toward positioning the company as a trusted partner for complex, high-quality development projects in Georgia. 

We focused on improving project management systems, expanding our technical capabilities and building long-term relationships with developers and international investors. 

Some of the most defining decisions during my tenure involved investing in experienced teams, adopting modern construction technologies and focusing on projects that contribute to the urban development of Georgia. 

Q: How do you manage the company’s reputation globally? 

BB: Reputation in construction is built through consistency, reliability and the quality of completed projects. At BK Construction, we focus on delivering projects on schedule, maintaining transparent communication with our partners and ensuring the highest standards of construction quality.

Equally important is building trust with international investors and developers. We maintain strong compliance standards and align our operations with global construction practices. 

Our goal is for the company to be recognized not only as a contractor but as a reliable strategic partner capable of executing large and technically demanding developments. 

Q: How would you describe your market position? 

BB: Over the years, BK Construction has built a strong portfolio of complex developments, including projects such as the Radisson Collection Tsinandali Estate, Moxy Marriott Hotel Tbilisi, Ramada Encore Tbilisi, City Mall Saburtalo and other hospitality, commercial and residential complexes.

These projects demonstrate our ability to deliver diverse developments—from hospitality to residential and commercial infrastructure. What differentiates us is our technical expertise, strong project management capabilities and the ability to execute complex developments efficiently while maintaining international quality standards. 

Q: How do you see tourism growth translating into construction opportunities? 

BB: The continued growth of tourism in Georgia is creating significant demand for hospitality infrastructure. This includes hotels, mixed-use developments and supporting urban infrastructure. 

For construction companies, this trend opens new opportunities to collaborate with international hotel brands, developers and investors looking to enter the Georgian market. 

Q: What opportunities do your current projects create for investors? 

BB: Our current development pipeline includes around 20 projects of varying scale and complexity, including residential and multifunctional developments. 

These projects represent a strong example of the opportunities available in Georgia’s urban development sector. For international investors, they demonstrate that the country offers stable market conditions, growing demand and reliable local construction partners. Our role is to ensure that these developments are delivered with efficiency, transparency and quality.

Q: How are innovation and sustainability integrated into your projects? 

BB: The construction industry in Georgia is undergoing significant modernization. At BK Construction, we actively integrate digital construction tools, advanced materials and modern engineering solutions into our projects. 

We also focus on energy-efficient building practices, sustainable materials and improved environmental performance. Innovation is not only about technology—it is about improving processes, optimizing project timelines and ensuring higher quality standards for our clients and partners. 

Q: Why should investors consider Georgia? 

BB: Georgia continues to demonstrate strong economic growth, supported by structural reforms and an increasingly attractive business environment. The country offers strategic geographic positioning between Europe and Asia, a transparent regulatory framework and a rapidly developing infrastructure sector. 

For international investors, Georgia represents a market with significant potential. With reliable local partners and experienced construction companies such as BK Construction, investors can confidently develop projects that contribute to the country’s long-term growth.
