Experts, of course, know the answer to this question. But individual developers often do not even have any concept of building control( although in practice they partially do), or they are confused with technical supervision( state).What is the difference and what is it?
In the conventional interpretation, in fact, there is no difference. The matter is that technical supervision is an outdated concept, and now experts operate with the phrase "construction control".It is often called "production".The objectives and procedures for implementing the necessary measures are detailed in the "Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation" of 2004, in particular, in Art.53. Not everyone without specific training will be able to understand specific terminology, so it makes sense to "decipher" certain provisions of the document. Well, who wants to penetrate this issue more deeply, will find the relevant information in special( reference) literature.
Without going into all the subtleties, we will consider the issue to the extent that it concerns individual developers. But first we should point out the fundamental difference in the concepts of "supervision" and "control.""Supervision" is from the field of law, and it concerns questions of observance of legality at behavior of various kinds of works. But "control" refers to the activities of the economic( production), therefore, is related to the quality of performance of operations and the like.
Of course, this interpretation is simplistic, but the meaning is clear."Supervision" does not "pay" attention to the correctness of carrying out certain measures, their validity, the need for each specific case( and this is the rise in the cost of construction!), Quality, and so on. The main task is observance of legality. But "control" is a more comprehensive concept.
When is construction control carried out?
At all stages of erection of a new structure( construction), as well as in works related to their alteration or renovation( reconstruction, restoration and repair).That is why it can be called a "multi-level" system, which includes a set of specific activities.
Purpose of the construction control
Determination of the compliance of the progress of work with the drawn up schedule, observance of the technology of operations, validity of construction, finishing and other materials consumption, quality assessment and the like.
Who conducts?
There are a lot of variants here, which is mentioned in the Code. The whole point is how the Treaty was drawn up to carry out certain work. Therefore, we list all the "parties" that are given this right:
• developer;
• customer;
• "third party", which is attracted by mutual agreement of the parties.
What should I consider for an individual developer?
When you build your own home to perform all the activities in full, no one can. After all, lay out the walls, mount the roof - that's not all. In order for the building to be residential, it will be necessary to equip a number of engineering communications, connect them to the appropriate highways. Therefore, one way or another at certain stages will have to contact specialists.
It is not necessary to speak about "shabashniki".They can be saved, but what kind of responsibility do they bear? What and how with them then, if necessary, you can ask and collect? In detail, we have already considered the selection of a brigade for repair and construction. In each specialized organization, there is either an expert( s) or an entire unit involved in supervising the progress of work. But will they go to the conflict with their superiors in case of violations? In many cases, they will simply "close" their eyes and pass by, as they receive a salary in the organization of the Contractor and, therefore, are interested in the fastest development of funds.
If it does not have a high quality of execution, allows technological mistakes, simplifies individual operations, then the question with third-party expertise from the relevant employee will cause a "painful" reaction. Well, everyone can make a conclusion on their own.
Of course, independent expertise will require additional costs. But it is worth it, since it will avoid further large financial losses and a strong "headache".With what they can be connected?
- Wrong estimate by the Contractor, unreasonable overstatement of prices for both work and materials. By the way, many unscrupulous firms are engaged in this, using the ignorance of the Customer in matters related to this area.
- Simplify the technology of operations. As a consequence( often after some time, after the end of the warranty period) - distortions, deformation of individual elements, cracks, leaks and so on. The most "problematic" and "costly" defects can be caused by improper draft or displacement of the foundation. How much this will create problems and will require money, it is not worth talking about.
- The use of cheaper products leads to deterioration of such important characteristics as thermal conductivity, strength, moisture resistance and a number of others. So, we will have to deal with additional waterproofing, warming and so on.
- Changing, for example, schemes for laying communication routes without coordinating with the owner. As a rule, a private developer almost always has to believe the word of a foreman that "this is how to make it better and more convenient."But often such an "innovation" leads to a deterioration in the quality of the system, which the customer does not suspect, and the masters win in time. And the payment is already included in the estimate as for the whole range of works on the installation of a specific "thread".Consequently, the Contractor receives part of our money "for nothing", and with our own consent.
Some recommendations of
When concluding a contract with a person who will carry out an independent examination, you need to find out if he has SRO admission!
For the purpose of securing the Construction Control Contract, it is necessary to draw up a contract so that it is possible to give a step-by-step assessment of the quality. Then, if a systematic marriage is seen, it is not difficult to dissolve the relationship and invite other specialists. And from the "marriage" to collect in the prescribed manner, through the court.
Primary information on building control is more than enough. And how to use it, the reader must decide for himself.
