The design of such buildings is complicated by the following factors:

1. the presence of multi-span structures;
   
2. increased height of premises;
   
3. using heavy technological equipment, therefore increasing the payload.

The project for the production building includes:

1. explanatory note;
   
2. calculations for checking the bearing capacity and strengthening of structures;
   
3. working drawings;
   
4. section on replacement of technological equipment;
   
5. specifications of equipment and materials;
   
6. estimate documentation.

Two types of reconstruction of an industrial building are possible: modernization and change of purpose.

The first option involves placing more modern equipment to increase productivity and reduce costs for the process in general. If the owner of the building changes, most often the purpose of the premises also changes.

The main reasons for reconstruction are:

• change of production process;
  
• mechanization and automation of production;
  
• increasing requirements for engineering equipment;
  
• introduction of new technologies into production.

The development of the project for the reconstruction of industrial buildings solves the following issues:

1. compliance of volumetric planning decisions with production needs;
   
2. improving the operational characteristics of load-bearing structures and bringing them into line with those required for the production process;
   
3. changing the height of the premises;
   
4. changing the configuration of the building (for example, adding additional volumes);
   
5. bringing engineering systems into compliance with technological process requirements;
   
6. changing the appearance of the building; improving the aesthetics of the premises;
   
7. partial or complete redevelopment in order to comply with sanitation and fire safety requirements;
   
8. observance of measures for the safe evacuation of people from the building in the event of an emergency situation (checking the conformity of the width of corridors, doorways, stairways and platforms with the number of people in the building at one time).

The reconstruction project should provide for the dismantling or replacement of individual structures, their strengthening if necessary. When the elements of the building are partially removed, measures are taken to increase the strength and stability of the rest. It is necessary to pass a state or private examination and coordination in local state institutions. Objects for which all the conditions are met at the same time can avoid examination: it is not necessary to establish sanitary and protective zones, the area is less than 1,500 square meters and the height is no more than two floors.

Overhaul of industrial buildings may include:

• replacement of facade cladding;
  
• replacement of roofing;
  
• replacement of the floor covering;
  
• updating the interior decoration of the premises;
  
• replacement of door and window fillings.

During modernization and overhaul, as a rule, it is necessary to ensure the continuity of the production process. And here the work is carried out in stages, while maintaining the possibility of operating the equipment.

It is important to complete the construction work in a short period of time, since the working conditions at the factory are significantly reduced at this time.

The main difficulties and mistakes
with independent design:

1. Lack of an agreed project of the Sanitary Protection Zone (SZZ)
2. Lack of metering devices and objective (calculated) data on the required productivity.
3. Lack of title deeds to the land.
4. Inaccuracies in the preparation of the Terms of Reference: all the necessary studies were not taken into account, the documents listed above were not taken into account.
5. The justification of the price was performed incorrectly, on the basis of commercial proposals of non-specialized organizations, without taking into account the fulfillment of the requirements of technical conditions, the need for inspection of buildings and structures, etc.
6. Surveys, research, and design are performed by different companies, which causes delays and additional work.

 Decisions from
Company "Gutman Construction":

• We will analyze the existing situation, prepare the Terms of Reference for the SZZ project. If necessary, we will execute the project of SZZ and agree on it.
• We will collect all the necessary data, make calculations and submit it to the customer for consideration. If necessary, we will temporarily install metering devices.
• We will help in the preparation of documentation, if necessary, we will include it in the TOR for design.
• We will analyze the existing situation and prepare the correct technical task.
• We will prepare an estimate for design and exploration works and surveys, based on basic price guides.
• We have considerable experience and qualifications for the organization of a full range of design and search works. Company "Gutman Construction" has SRO permits for both design and exploration work. We are guaranteed to provide a positive conclusion of the examination and support during SMR.
