It has its own characteristics depending on the initial and planned purpose. Requirements for residential, public and administrative buildings are different.

For approval by state authorities and examination, the finished building reconstruction project may consist of the following sections:

1. Explanatory note;
   
2. architectural and construction solutions (AS section);
   
3. decisions regarding engineering equipment (IOS section);
   
4. a project for the organization of major overhaul or reconstruction;
   
5. local and object estimation calculations.

In most cases, residential buildings with three or fewer floors and public buildings with less than three floors are not subject to examination. Upon request, it is necessary to provide the sections "Environmental protection" (section ОOS), "Requirements for ensuring the safe operation of the capital construction facility" (section BE). The composition of the project documentation in this case is determined individually, depending on the complexity of the reconstruction.

After a thorough examination, a conclusion is given on the possibility of further exploitation. Design generally includes:

• calculations for checking the bearing capacity of the main structures;
  
• development of a redevelopment or extension project;
  
• development of strengthening foundations or replacement of wooden floors
• with fire-resistant ones;
  
• development of the necessary construction drawings, including processing of nodes;
  
• development of sections of VC, OV, EOM, etc. if necessary;
  
• calculation of required materials and summary of values in the specification;
  
• preparation of estimate documentation.

The process is complicated when working with objects of cultural heritage. In this case, it is necessary to develop the section "Architectural solutions" (AR) and coordinate it in the state institution that deals with the protection of historical buildings. Most often, the finished project will be a restoration project, not a reconstruction project.

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.
