Any business, whether building a house, enterprise or road, starting production of new products or investing, begins with the development of design and estimate documentation, which stipulates all aspects of production and the cost of each type of work. High-quality implementation of this work accelerates the creation of the project, increases economic benefits.
What is called design estimate documentation?
Design and estimate documentation is a package of documents that justifies the advisability of the recommended program, the ways of its implementation. With the help of this documentation, specialists can understand the essence of what was conceived, which allows you to see the ways of its implementation.
In preparing this package, they are guided by the legislative standards provided for this type of project.
When developing design and estimate documentation, technical and economic justifications, as well as a business plan, which are compiled based on the results of the preparatory phase, are taken as a basis.
The work on the preparation of this documentation can be carried out in one, two or three stages, depending on the complexity of the project. It can be performed by both a legal entity and an individual. But when licensing, much attention is paid to the level of qualification, so more often specialized design organizations get licenses.
Preparatory work for the preparation of design estimates
From the correctness, clarity and consistency of the project depends on what quality will be the result of the work done. Will the deadlines be met, is it realistic to go within the limits of the allocated funding.
Drawing up design and estimate documentation is an important, versatile and responsible work. The level of professionalism of its implementation depends on the efficiency, technological effectiveness and simplicity of the project for which it is being manufactured.
For the execution of design and estimate documentation, contracts are concluded between customers and contractors, according to which the customer provides the necessary information and design assignment. He can make it himself or delegate it to the performer.
When preparing a construction task, the customer must contact the architecture department to obtain technical specifications that represent a number of requirements for the future structure in terms of providing water and gas supply, sewage, outdoor lighting, fire protection and so on.
The contractor, in turn, must qualitatively prepare a package of documents, taking into account all information received from the customer about the project.
About the composition of design estimates
Design estimates for construction, according to the current legislation, is divided into two sections: design and working documentation.
1. Project documentation contains information that is crucial for architectural, functional-technological, engineering and technical and structural solutions that ensure the manufacturing process, production of products or construction, as provided for by the project. In the case of a multi-stage project, documentation is developed for each stage. This package of documents is submitted for verification and expert evaluation.
2. Working documentation is prepared when the project documentation is already in the hands of experts, this allows timely consideration of all comments when developing these documents,which are regulatory when performing construction and installation works.
The structure of design estimates also includes a set of necessary estimates.
Building permit
Document legalized construction, is permission. It confirms that the design and estimate documentation corresponds to the urban development plan of the territory and provides the contractor with the right to work.
The PDS submitted for permission must include the results of the examination with a positive conclusion.
In some cases, an examination does not require:
1. In preparation for the construction of individual housing no more than three floors.
2. When developing a project for the construction of a residential building, which will have no more than three floors, consist of less than ten blocks, in each of which one family can move.
3. For the construction of apartment buildings, not higher than three floors, consisting of four or less block sections with several apartments and entrances.
To obtain permission to carry out construction work for the above buildings in the authorities provide a plan of land, which indicates the planned location of the future facility.
Engineering surveys for the development of design estimates
The development of design estimates is based on information obtained as a result of engineering and survey work.
In the course of their implementation, the state of the relief of the site, buildings located next to the place of future work, and other elements of the plan are clarified.
Special attention is also paid to the condition of the soil, which will be the basis of the future structure, the possibility of arranging underground utilities. Particular attention is paid to the study of soil stability on slopes and slopes.
Examination of design estimates
Design estimates, before falling into the hands of a construction organization, must undergo an examination. This is a set of measures that provides for the study of a package of documents that will be used when performing construction work. The analysis is carried out in accordance with the requirements of regulatory acts in force on the territory of the Russian Federation, in order to guarantee the safety of future buildings and structures. Also monitored is the quality of architectural resolution, the justified use of all necessary resources.
To carry out construction work on a large scale, a state examination is necessary, the basis for which is the design and estimate documentation. If the construction is small, then it is enough to get a positive result of non-state examination.
