The Russian Construction System's Goal of Reducing the Cost of Mass Residential and Public Buildings

摘要

Almost all human professional activity is realized via some type of system. A high-quality work system must be created taking into account the requirements of professionals with the corresponding specialties. Otherwise, the system and the professional activity of its associated employees will be ineffective as a minimum. A good example is Russia's construction system. The present article's analysis of the main provisions of Russian federal construction laws and regulations shows that the main aim in construction is the protection of people's lives and health in residential and public buildings under the impact of hazardous natural phenomena, which in the Russian construction system is done in gross violation of articles 2 and 72 of the Russian Federation Constitution. For example, populated areas-the largest construction projects in Russia-are not even acknowledged as capital construction projects by federal laws and regulations, which makes it possible to cheapen the construction of mass residential and public buildings. Based on a number of theoretical technical requirements on construction of residential and public buildings, the article substantiates the thesis that the Russian construction system should contain a particular major element that could solve the problem of protecting human life and health under the impact of natural hazards: a group of regional specialists with in-depth knowledge of local conditions.
