Certificate SRO. What is it and how to get it?

Implementation of construction, survey and design activities in the professional sphere requires the availability of appropriate qualifications of performers. Standards and safety standards in the construction industry are developed with the expectation of ensuring the proper technical and operational properties of the facility. To exclude admission to the activities of such non-professionals, the licensing system previously operated. However, today, in a sense, the pass to the work on the responsible construction projects is evidence of the SRO. What is this document? In fact, this is the same license, but in an expanded form. It gives the right to the owner to engage in the work of the profile indicated in the certificate.

General information about SRO and its certificate

The SRO Institute was formed in Russia at the legislative level only a few years ago. It can be deciphered as a "self-regulating community of professionals in this or that area of construction." At the same time, the membership of the SRO to this area in some cases is indirect. For example, the certificate of SRO appraisers rather covers the real estate sphere and refers to the interests of professionals who are already working with ready-made construction projects. Nevertheless, at the stages of project development, the appraiser's assistance may be involved.

Why do we need self-regulating communities? First of all, they perform the function of uniting and assisting specialists of a particular industry. Assistance can be expressed in various forms - from the legal support of the participant to the provision of services aimed at improving the qualification. The ability to provide services for its part, by default, gives the SRO certificate. What is this from the point of view of the participant in the community? On the one hand, the evidence legitimizes the presence of its owner in the market of services offered to him, which were confirmed by a special commission. On the other hand, it makes it possible to enjoy privileges that are distributed to members of a particular community.

Types of organization of SROs

There are two basic principles for organizing communities of professionals of this type. The first is called branch. Such communities unite professionals of a specific specialization throughout the country. That is, both metropolitan surveyors and employees of this profile from regions can enter a community located, for example, in Moscow. The sign of membership in this case will also be the SRO certificate. Engineering surveys can be the basic sphere on which this community is built. This means that the organization can not include designers, the same evaluators, architects or specialists of other profiles.

Another type of organization is called regional. In this case, the association is more likely due to the fact that the participants belong to one or another region. For example, in a particular province or region, specialists of different directions can be united in this way, but having the corresponding certificate of the SRO. Design, geodetic work or the construction of pavements - any qualified representative of one of these profiles may be included in this SRO.

Types of evidence

Actually, certificates from self-regulating organizations of this type are classified according to the type of work performed by the owner of the document. Even at the introduction, the nature of the services that the participant will provide is determined. This can be all the above-mentioned professional directions, including design, installation and excavation, architecture, maintenance of engineering communications, roofing operations, etc. Again, all listed types of SRO certificates can be issued in one organization if it is arranged according to a regional Principle. That is, in a certain region on the basis of a community of professionals, the commission issues certificates to both appraisers and architects. If we are talking about the sectoral principle of the SRO, then the community has the right to interact only with one of the profiles.

How to get a certificate of SRO?

Before starting the procedure for obtaining a certificate, you should familiarize yourself with the rules for joining a particular community, as they can have their own nuances in each individual organization. Pay attention to two main aspects - the availability of a complete list of documents required for registration, and work experience. In general, qualification is one of the basic conditions for obtaining an SRO certificate. What does this mean in the entry phase? The commission will check documents on the education of the person joining or a group of people who are members of his firm, as well as their work experience. Now it is worthwhile to consider in more detail the documents required for entry and receipt of the certificate. The standard list includes the charter of the incoming company, the certificates of OGRN and TIN, the details of the organization, etc. That is, a certificate can be obtained by one specialist privately, and the whole organization.

Contributions

Specific rates vary depending on the community. The amount of contributions is affected by a number of factors: from the location region of the SRO to the number of participants. On the average, the initial entrance fee is 50-70 thousand rubles. Then every month the participant must pay 5-10 thousand. And this is not counting insurance premiums, which are calculated on an individual basis. Separately paid and certificates, which can act as a supplement for the certificate of admission SRO. What does this mean in practice? For example, a specialist who maintains utility networks already has an appropriate permit with a certain list of work operations that he has the right to perform. However, for work at hazardous facilities where similar maintenance of engineering channels is required, it may require a special certificate.

How to choose SRO?

First of all, the specialization of the community is taken into account. From the perspective of further growth, it is recommended to apply to the sectoral SROs, as the level of professionalism is higher in them. Another thing is that narrow specialization often causes a small number of participants, which means low resource potential. For example, a small project SRO, whose certificate makes it possible to fulfill the tasks of developing technical documents, is unlikely to be able to provide support in the form of providing a large loan or upgrading a large number of company employees.

Conclusion

In the circles of the specialists themselves, the attitude towards the functions of the SRO is very different. Some criticize the community for the lack of the full range of opportunities that are announced at the reception stage. And others successfully implement the legal and technical and organizational potential that the SRO certificate gives. What does this mean in practice? Standard example: a small company enters the organization, gets the right to conduct profile work and as the community platform is being actively used, the community develops its own potential. Assistance from SRO in such cases is expressed not only in financial support and skills development, but also in the provision of client bases, advertising, assistance in technical organization, etc.
