What the programme is
Yarısı Bizden is a public support mechanism for eligible risky buildings in Istanbul. Eligibility, amounts and application procedure can change, so current terms must be checked with the Ministry and the relevant municipality.
How it affects a contractor proposal
Public support does not replace a complete commercial and technical review. Clarify who receives each payment, how it enters the project budget and whether contractor rent support is separate.
Before relying on the support
Confirm risky-building status, ownership approvals, current application rules, required documents and the effect on the contract and construction programme.
- Use current official Turkish sources
- Record the allocation of support in the contract
- Do not treat public support as a contractor performance guarantee
Frequently asked questions
