Construction and repair from a position of technical supervision. Main steps.

continuing series of articles Technical supervision of the construction and repair, today we look at part of the steps that you need to pass in order to organize the construction or repair work. Incidentally Earlier, we considered ways to save on their summer buildingAs well as a general description of the services technical supervision. Before further reading this review, we are sure to refresh your memory and more time to run through the above-mentioned articles.

Thus, consideration of all the phases of construction and / or repair, we suggest to spend in the following logical sequence: first, we will list the steps and then discuss in more detail each of the them. In general, the sequence of steps proper organization of construction and / or repair as follows:

1. The investment plan. A feasibility study of possible options for the construction and / or repair.
2. Baseline data collection, engineering surveys.
3. Selection of the design organization.
4. Development of project documentation.

5. Consideration / adjustment of project documentation approval.
6. Selection of a contractor.
7. Organization of technical supervision of the Customer.
8. The launch of the project "in the performance of work."
9. Acceptance of the work stages, the implementation of technical supervision.
10. Final acceptance of the construction and / or repair.

Step 1. The investment plan. A feasibility study of possible options for the construction and / or repair.

So, what is the investment plan? This is nothing like a family council, which is determined by the need of construction and / or repair work on the project. We emphasize: the development of an investment plan - a obligation of the customer (!!!). Of course, for these purposes it can be held and a specialized organization, but you need to be prepared for the fact that in this work will have to pay. But back to the family council... We recommend that all the findings of the family council to fix on paper, which is then to be transferred experts, attraction of which is planned to carry out the construction and / or repair work as your technical requirements. At the same time, in the ideal case, the result of an investment plan in the case of private construction and / or repair should be:

- approved budget planned for the implementation of construction and / or repair work;
- approved the list of construction and / or repair;
- the main technical characteristics of the construction and / or repair (the main dimensions, the maximum number of simultaneous living people, as well as basic engineering parameters - availability of water supply, wastewater, sewage, electrical dedicated power).

Draw your attention to (!!!): neither the designer nor the building contractor will not be able to jump higher than his head, and perform your desired list of works at decreased budget! One would not say that, but these initial data, the situation in the end come down approximately as follows: constructive or will not meet the specified requirements (E.g. thermal contour thickness will not provide the necessary insulation), or to be used is not enough quality materials, or it will not respected construction / repair technology or to be used as cheap labor, or you, under construction / repair, will always have pay extra for extra. work to bring the building / repair facility in the state that you planned initially.

It is surprising, but these rather obvious things are not understood by the majority of private investors (customers), and should be... You can not collect "the Mercedes", with a budget to "Oka" and it should be clearly understood at the stage of construction or maintenance planning. You may ask: "How to determine the approximate budget for the planned repair work?". The answer, again, is obvious: the first thing to do - is to identify itself work list. The second - the Internet and open promonitorit average prices for construction or repair work that you identified earlier. For example, on our site for this is made special section. Note that as this and other sites, prices in these sections provide indicative, for understanding, the necessary budget, and the final cost determined only estimates for the construction of a particular object and / or repair, developed according to the approved design documentation or performed by our technicians measurement.

However, the lack of the necessary budget - the situation is quite typical in our chaotic times, but there is a solution - it is a breakdown of the planned work on the mutually independent steps, consistent implementation of which, in the first place can be carried out at any time convenient for you, by virtue of the fact that they are independent, and secondly perform all the work just lead to the satisfaction of all your needs for quality and reliability. Only in this way and no other. To conduct such a breakdown, you can also independently, with appropriate knowledge and / or assistance of a specialized company, but then it should be understood that this free one to do the work will not.

Summarize. investment plan should result: a clear understanding of the customer list of planned to carry out the construction and / or repairs (work stages), the approved budget for the construction / renovation, the main technical parameters of the construction and / or repair. In other words - it formed the basic customer requirements, which subsequently will form in the terms of reference for the design and will be the main source of data for a building contractor.

Step 2. Baseline data collection, engineering surveys.

In general, the collection of baseline data boils down to this - their own or with the assistance of a specialized organization, the following activities are performed:

- carried out a breakdown of the datum in the case of new construction, ie, identifies the major dimensions, slopes and other parameters of the construction site. You bind existing structures on the future of the facility.
- in the case of carrying out repairs or reconstruction, performed measurements of existing buildings and / or structures to determine their actual spatial position, as well as deviations from the design values.
- Troubleshooting is performed assemblies existing buildings and structures planned for the repair or reconstruction, as well as the examination of the existing engineering systems and communications.
- carried out the collection of data on the type and composition of the soil, determine the depth of the support layer. This is done in order to further determine the type of foundation for new construction or for example in case of reconstruction of the object has attached to it by other structures.
- carried out a survey of existing foundations in order to identify the need for repair or replacement.
- Plans are existing buildings with principal dimensions.
- where necessary, carried out photographic images of design and engineering elements.

This highlights the collection of baseline data, but the list may be adjusted depending on the type planned for carrying out the works, as well as the technical condition of the facility and / or repair. After gathering all the necessary input data is made, you can proceed to the next step - the design documentation.

Separately, we note (!!!): as the investment plan, the collection of baseline data and engineering research - it Customer's obligationBut can be carried out with the assistance of a specialized organization, which means that these works are not carried out free of charge, and in the case of a publicity stunt in the form of "free travel" free design ", etc., the cost may be incorporated either in the development of design documentation, either directly in the cost of construction or maintenance work, or you do not get your hands on exhaustive results executed works. You must understand one thing: any move made by the designer and building contractor for your benefit, at some point or another will be paid, as any commercial structure will never operate at a loss, so the rule is simple - or the work is done by your own forces and means, or it is paid to someone you attract.

The collection of baseline data, we hope that everything is clear. Go ahead.

Step 3. Selection of the design organization.

- experience in the design of objects of private construction and / or repair;
- the availability of permits for design and survey work;
- the availability of review of the recommendations of the proposed applications for the design work;
- transparency of the pricing policy of the design organization;
- Having the opportunity to support the construction field supervision, during the construction, repair or reconstruction of the object.
- and of course by several possible candidates, you must request and carefully study the text of the model contracts to be concluded by the design organization.

Once again I draw your attention: the more complete list of services provided by any commercial organization, the higher the cost, ie, if the value is underestimated, then the detailed examination of the text of the contract, you will find the lack of certain products with a high probability, the implementation of which, during construction and / or repair work is vital, for example, can be strictly regulated the number of changes in project documentation - all over of the amount you paid extra, or supervision can be carried out as a separate type of work you pay for additional agreement. And so on.

Oh, I almost forgot. In our opinion, the most expedient to combine the steps of collecting raw data with the assistance of the design organization, as who do not know better, what source data is needed, if not the designer? But there was the taste, color and budget... Or you delegate all of the designer and, accordingly, pay these kinds of jobs, or going every one of them and, in the case of failure of initial data, at the request of the design organization sit down and go over the missing object.

Basically, the choice of the designer, everything. We proceed to the design documentation.

Step 4. Development of project documentation.

At this stage, we will not really stop, due to the fact that in great detail all presented in previously published materials. But given that this is an extremely important and necessary step in the organization of construction and / or repair, it is strongly recommended that you read the following materials:

— Foreskiznoe design;

— Preliminary design;

— Detailed design;

— What's more profitable: the individual design or the finished project?

— Design house with "Summer Wizard"

— Catalog of ready projects on our website

We think that after studying these articles, all the questions of development of design documentation for the construction and / or renovation you will be resolved, but in that case, If some points you may want to clarify in more detail, it is possible to ask questions via the comment form, located at the end of this article or our forum.

Step 5. Consideration / adjustment of project documentation approval.

Therefore, special attention should be paid to the examination of, preparation of comments and updating the design documentation, it does not matter - a project documentation for the construction, repair and reconstruction of the country house, systems engineering or design project to renovate apartment. Remember (!!!)To get away from the building contractor your desired result, it is necessary to submit the project documentation, taking into account all your requirements, because as you know - what is the question, is the answer. You build, repair it as it will be regulated by the project documentation, and all Additional changes are "suddenly" will be found in the construction process, you will pay additionally.

Emphasize (!!!): The more scrupulous and detail you consider the project documents, the more carefully it will amend for compliance with your requirements, the more will get the result of construction and / or repair works. One simple rule should be clearly understood: by and large, no one better than you will not be able to meet the requirements planned construction and / or repair and no one except you will not have to think, and think through how you will feel better and more convenient. Involved in the process of construction and / or repair of the organization or private master only technically actualize your plans, and the conductor in this celebration of life, like it or not, remain still and only you no one but you. That is why, the role of the customer of construction and / or repair is very important, and dispense with the Customer during the construction or repair is impossible in principle. Therefore, all promises to the effect that "You will have to appear on the site at the conclusion of the contract and acceptance" - is nothing more than a marketing gimmick or, under such circumstances, one must be prepared to ensure that the received in the operation of the facility and / or repair will be far from what you imagine represented.

If you want to implement our plans in this manner (twice to appear on the site), the most the best and least expensive way - to buy already built and / or renovated facility, but this we wrote here.

But back to our sheep... So you've got, and began to consider the project documents, but if from the perspective of the common types of layouts, placement of plumbing and general types of engineering systems you understand, that from the point of view of the structural elements, detailed work arrangement engineering equipment, laying communications, etc. problems may arise, so we believe this stage optimum for attraction customer technical oversight.

This organization or private specialist can help at this stage to optimize the design documentation in order to reduce the cost of construction and / or repair, at this without loss of quality and structural reliability, as well as to study the construction of the object and / or repair for his subsequent support during construction or repair works.

With this stage of the organization of construction and / or repair finish. All of the following steps will be considered by the three stakeholders: the customer - contractor - engineering supervision, so consider them in the next release. Do not miss out, stay tuned for our updates!
