Kalman Sufrin
Kalman Sufrin, a graduate of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Technion in 1968, is considered one of the most prominent construction engineers in Israel.
When he first started out, he was involved in the construction of projects in Israel and abroad. Later down the road, he worked as part of planning and management teams on large public projects in Israel and around the world. As part of his role, he gained extensive experience in many aspects of large-scale project management, as well as the implementation and assimilation of new and innovative construction technologies.
In the late 1960s, he founded BSR, which took on the business of planning and managing the construction of projects in the private and public sectors.
In the early 1980s, he was appointed, by the Ministry of Housing in Israel, as director of the planning and construction team of the Pisgat Ze’ev neighborhood in Jerusalem, with 12,000 residential units. He was involved in the planning and execution of the development and infrastructure, the planning of the residential buildings, and management of the housing companies that built the residential units in the areas allotted to them. In 1987, he was awarded the prestigious Kaplan Award by the late President Ezer Weizmann, for his part in managing the project.
In the 1980s, he was part of the planning and management teams for the construction of IDF bases in the Negev, transferred from Sinai following the peace agreement with Egypt.
In the mid-1980s, he came up with an innovative method of real estate development, whereby the end customer is in fact also the developer who purchases the plot and commissions construction services, thus cutting costs. This method later became known in Israel as purchasing groups.
Kalman went on to plan and execute dozens of purchasing groups projects for residential, office and commercial purposes, including BSR Towers 1 + 2 in Ramat Gan and Bnei Brak, Gibor Sport Tower in Ramat Gan, Manhattan Tower in Tzameret Park in Tel Aviv, Toyota Towers in Tel Aviv and more. In these projects, his role entailed finding a location, forming a group of consumers, and providing all the planning, management and supervision of construction and financial aspects, through to completion and occupancy, whilst coordinating and collaborating with all the stakeholders.
Over the years, he has developed, managed and erected dozens of projects in eastern Europe and the United States, and has won many awards. Nowadays he is the chairman of the Sufrin Group.
