Major repairs of buildings: features

In the domestic legislation there are norms and laws that clearly define the concept of overhaul and the specifics of its conduct. However, not everyone knows these rules. We will try to answer some questions about how to do major repairs of buildings and structures and who should be responsible for this.

First of all, it is necessary to understand the very concept. Capital repair of the building is a process of urban development, since the structure is on the balance sheet of the city and is an object of the city's fixed assets. The procedure is carried out so that the structure can be used for a long time and it is constantly in working order.

Based on the legislation, all actions aimed at preserving the property in proper condition should be carried out by the owner. That is, if the building is owned by the state, then the administration of the area on whose balance the structure consists should carry out repairs. If it is not state property, then its integrity and safety is the responsibility of the private owner. Naturally, the legislation provides for some exceptions to the general rules.

Capital repair of buildings should be carried out in cases where their operation poses a threat to employees or other people, and also when normal conditions for the performance of work can not be provided in the construction. If the buildings are leased, then the owner of the buildings must carry out major repairs. Even though he knew about the existing shortcomings before putting the object into someone else's property. Although these obligations may be transferred to other persons by the lessor in cases stipulated by law.

It must be said that the authorities strictly follow the procedure such as major repairs of buildings, because during its carrying out, the structural characteristics of the buildings are necessarily affected. However, the rules can not force the owner to monitor the technical condition of the structure.

At the moment, there is only one document that controls the implementation of preventive measures with respect to non-residential facilities. But it has not been revised since the Soviet Union.

Capital repairs of buildings should provide for a preliminary assessment of the condition of the structure, as well as permanent engineering and technical supervision of the state of the facility after the necessary measures have been taken. It is good, if in the legislation requirements for buildings and their safety were registered, which would force owners to carry out capital repairs of buildings on time in order to reduce the risks of their collapse. After all, the owner is responsible for bringing the building to a state in which it is dangerous to operate.

In any case, the overhaul procedure is necessary, the normal operation of the building is, first of all, in the interests of the owner.
