The obligation to comply with all the requirements and norms prescribed in the legal documents, as well as construction control in our country has always existed in several different forms. Before the reform, this system was clearly under the influence of general demand, prevailing over supply.
There was a deficit in the field of construction and installation products at that time, capital investment issues were only being mastered, and in the race to put the facility into operation on time (remember the famous “five-year plans”), most often quality faded into the background. And this was especially noticeable in the example of interior finishing work. No, everything related to reliability and safety, of course, was strictly observed, but few people paid attention to secondary issues.
The market system has introduced many new concepts: for example, shared construction of houses. And the conditions in which the builders used to be have changed radically. The phenomenon of a shortage of products has already become nonsense, but the question of survival in the competitive struggle, the search forpotential customers. Of course, this could not but affect the control of construction. However, this does not mean that the old system has outlived its usefulness - on the contrary, it is still used today, but with significant improvements in quality and efficiency.
Currently, quality control of construction works is carried out in two forms. This includes external control and direct control in production. Let's look at these two forms in more detail.
Construction control (internal) is an integral part of the work of construction industry organizations, production enterprises and contractors. This means that an appropriate passport must be drawn up for each material, product and design. And construction and installation companies must conduct incoming control of all incoming equipment. After completion of certain types of work, acceptance control is usually carried out. But it is carried out with the participation of an external person - a customer or a design specialist. Therefore, this type of verification refers, rather, not to the internal, but to the external.
The latter lies in the sphere of influence of various supervision and does not depend on the construction organization itself. For example, the traditional forms of control are the GASN and the inspection of the acceptance committee, which is carried out during the commissioning of the facility, when the specialists have already completed construction. Technical supervision by the customer is also mandatory - by the way, it is carried out not at a time, but constantly, onthroughout the entire period of work. These surveys must be accompanied by special acts, that is, without the direct approval of the customer himself, further work simply cannot be carried out.
However, the modern market economy has given rise to two more types of control: certification and licensing. Construction control today includes voluntary and mandatory certification, as well as the availability of a license confirming the competence of the organization. It is not given forever: for the violations revealed during the work, the construction company of this very license may be deprived. So be legally savvy and don't forget to check all these factors before trusting the construction company of your choice!
