Building control - what it is, how it's performed , and what is worth knowing

answer to this question experts, of course, know that.But individual developers often or do not have control of the building in general no idea (although in fact part and carry out), or is confused with the technical supervision (state).What is the difference and what is it?

In the standard interpretation, in fact, no difference.The fact that the technical supervision - is an outdated concept, and now experts operate with the phrase "building control."It is also often referred to as "productive."On the purposes and exercise the necessary measures detailed in the "Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation" of 2004, in particular in Art.53. Not everyone without some training to be able to understand the specific terminology, so it makes sense to "decode" the specific provisions of the document.Well, who wants to look into the matter more deeply, to find relevant information in a special (reference) literature.

Without going into all the details, let us consider the question in so far as it relates to individual developers.But first we must point out the fundamental difference in the "supervision" concepts and "control"."Surveillance" - is of the law, and it concerns issues of compliance with the law in the behavior of different kinds of work.But "control" refers to the economic activity (production), hence associated with quality control operations, and the like.

Of course, this interpretation is simplistic, but the meaning is clear."Supervision" not "pay" attention to the correctness of those or other events, their validity, the need in each case (and this - the rise in price of construction!), Quality and so on.The main task - the rule of law.But "control" - is a three-dimensional concept.

When is the building control?

At all stages of the construction of new buildings (structures), as well as work related to their alterations or renewal (reconstruction, restoration and repair).That is why it can be called "tiered" system, consisting of a set of certain events.

purpose of building control

Determination of compliance with the progress of works drawn up the schedule, compliance operations technology, validity rate of construction, decoration and other materials, quality assurance, and the like.

Who performs?

There are many options, and what is said in the Code.The thing is, how composed Contract for a specific job.Therefore, we list all the "parties" who are given this right:

• developer;
• the customer;
• «third party», which attracts by mutual agreement of the parties.

What you need to take into account the individual developer?

With the construction of his house to perform all activities in full, no one can.After all, to put the wall to mount the roof - this is not all.To the building was residential, you will need to arrange a number of utilities, connect them to the appropriate routes.Therefore, one way or another at certain stages have to consult specialists.

About "shabashniki" we are not talking.They can be saved, but the responsibility they bear?What and how to them later, if necessary, may ask and collect?Details we have already discussed the issue of the selection of teams for repair and construction.Each has a specialized organization or a specialist (-s), or the whole unit dealing with control over the progress of work.But whether they will go to conflict with the authorities in case of detection of violations?In many cases, simply "closed" eyes and pass by, because they are employed by the contractor and, consequently, are interested in the rapid development of means.

If it is not characterized by high quality performance, allow technological errors, simplifies certain operations, the questions from the expertise from the staff member will call "painful" response.Well, everyone is free to make a conclusion on their own.

course, an independent expert will require additional costs.But it's worth it, as to avoid in the future even greater financial losses and severe "headache".With what it can be connected?

• Incorrectly compiled Contractor estimates unreasonable overpricing both the work and materials.By the way, many unscrupulous firms that are engaged and using the customer's lack of knowledge in matters relating to this area.
• Simplify operations technology.As a result (often after a while, after the end of the warranty period) - distortions, deformation of individual elements, cracks, leaks and so on.The most "problematic" and "expensive" defects can be caused by incorrect draft or displacement of the foundation.How much does it create problems and will require money, not worth talking about.
• use cheaper products leads to a deterioration of important characteristics such as thermal conductivity, strength, moisture resistance, and others.So again have to deal with additional waterproofing, insulation and so on.
• Change, for example, communication paths lining the circuit without the consent of the owner.As a rule, the private developer is almost always have to believe in the word of the foreman, that "like this make a better and more comfortable."But often such "innovation" leads to a deterioration of the quality of the system work, as customer is not aware, and master win over time.And the payment is already incorporated in the budget both for the whole complex of works on installation of specific "thread."Consequently, the Contractor receives a portion of our money "for nothing", and with our own consent.

Several recommendations

At the conclusion of the agreement with the person who will carry out an independent examination, it is necessary to find out whether he has the SRO admission!

the purpose of hedging contract for building control should be formulated so as to be able to provide a phased assessment of the quality.Then, if a systematic marriage will be seen, it is easy to terminate the relationship, and to invite other specialists.And with the "bungler" in the prescribed manner to recover, through the courts.

primary information on the construction control is more than enough.And how to use it, the reader must decide for himself.
