Corporate registers of requirements on the path of development of technical ­regulation in construction

Abstract

This paper examines the main changes in the normative and technical regulation of the construction industry associated with the beginning of the implementation of the register principle, digital transformation and the gradual transition to parametric standardization. Most of the ongoing changes are aimed at reducing the time and cost of surveys, design and construction, improving the quality of design and construction products. They are becoming everyday professional practice.

The paper pays special attention to the registry principle, which provides for the formation of an integrated system of regulatory documents containing general mandatory requirements applicable to all stages of the life cycle of capital construction projects. Such registries can and should contain a full volume of information and the tools necessary for working with it, which are required by a specialist. In this regard, registries are increasingly called digital technology. The paper briefly analyzes the results of the first year of operation of the digital Register of Requirements to be used in engineering surveys, design, construction and demolition. The prospects for converting this Register of Requirements into machine-readable and machine-understandable formats, lists of tasks to be solved and conditions for further development are considered. A comparison with registry tools used in Russia and foreign countries is made. The issues of updating requirements within the existing and newly created registries are raised. A rationale for the use is proposed and an assessment of the capabilities of corporate registries of requirements as part of information systems or standards of organizations is carried out. In the paper, the authors touched upon promising issues of forming automated requirements management systems. Continuing with previous publications, the authors develop issues of system integration of requirements registers and parametric standardization technologies.
