Construction of buildings and structures is a long and complex process. The quality control of the work performed during the construction of facilities is carried out by state bodies, representatives of customers, contractors, designers.
Let's talk in more detail about the bodies that carry out technical control in construction.
There are two main forms of supervisory work:
- internal control;
- external control.
Internal control of construction works
This type of technical supervision at the construction site is carried out by the construction contractors involved in the process of building construction. They issue a passport for manufactured products, which indicates its compliance with the required standards.
The result of the input control is the confirmation of the conformity of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the materials received at the construction sitematerials, designs, products and documentation.
Operational control is carried out during the production of certain types of work or immediately after their completion using measurements or technical inspection. All results are recorded in special sheets and journals.
Acceptance control of certain types of construction works implies confirmation of the conformity of the final product to quality and making a decision on the possibility of using the product. This type of control is carried out not only by contractors, but by the customer and the designer, so it can be attributed to external control.
External control of construction and installation works is carried out by a number of bodies and departments.
- Technical supervision by the customer. It is carried out throughout the entire period of construction of the facility. The customer checks the compliance of all hidden works at the construction site, accepts the main structures and elements, and participates in the acceptance committee. In case of inconsistency in the quality of work, violation of construction technology and other inconsistencies, technical supervision on the part of the customer has the right to suspend work until all defects are corrected.
- Control of construction work by the designer is called architectural supervision. It is also carried out throughout the entire construction period. In the process of architectural supervision, control over the implementation of design decisions and the requirements of regulatory documents is carried out. Control by the designer is a paid service (according toagreement between the customer and the author of the project).
- On the part of state bodies, control of construction work is carried out by the State Architectural and Construction Supervision (GosArkhStroyNadzor). This body is the main controlling link in the process of technical supervision in construction. It carries out its activities at the stages of engineering surveys, design and direct construction of the facility.
- The Fire Inspectorate checks the compliance of the construction site with fire safety requirements.
- The Sanitary Inspectorate carries out sanitary and epidemiological control and supervision at the construction site and monitors compliance with measures aimed at protecting the environment.
- The control of labor safety of participants in the construction process and compliance with labor laws is carried out by the technical inspection of trade unions.
- Control of construction work is carried out with the help of mandatory certification of services in construction and manufactured products.
- Licensing survey, design and construction activities is mandatory for organizations engaged in these activities.
It is the GASN who approves the project, issues a permit for construction work, monitors the correctness of their conduct on the site. He has the right to stop the construction process, check the availability of any technical documents, fine for non-compliance with standards and requirements, initiate a criminal case, and so on.
