Interior finishing work is continuing in the new residential housing district of the Irkutsk Oil Company (IOC) in Ust-Kut. Plastering work is being completed in the first two buildings, which are intended for employees of the Irkutsk Polymer Plant and their families.

Plastering work is scheduled to be completed by the end of June. At the same time, builders are finishing the installation of drywall partitions and heating systems. The installation of floor screeds will begin in the near future. Concealed installations for plumbing are already being installed in the bathrooms of the apartments, and the internal sewage, water supply, and electrical wiring are being laid. Builders are also connecting intercom systems and communication networks, including the Internet. The next stage will be pre-finishing: plastering walls, filling joints and seams, installing internal window slopes, and priming surfaces.

Thermal insulation materials have already been installed on the facades, glazing structures are being installed, and then the installation of ventilated facades and facing panels will begin.
