In 1998, four groups of professors were created from the departments of construction: professors of construction materials, construction technology and mechanisation, civil construction and geotechnics. In the following years, the professorial groups were restructured. Prof. The new head of the Construction Technology Department was Prof. J. Novik, the Head of the Construction Machinery and Construction Mechanisation Department was Prof. V. Mironov, and for civil buildings and geotechnics, Assoc. prof. Prof. J. Grabi. The group of the professor of building materials was later renamed the group of building materials in construction and, together with the building materials laboratory, was incorporated into the Institute of Materials and Structures of the Faculty in 2001.
In 2005, the Concrete Mechanics Laboratory and the Centre for Ecological Construction were also incorporated into the Institute of Construction Production.
