The new status of working documentation will shorten the time and increase the efficiency of managing the cost of construction

The bill was developed in pursuance of the list of instructions of the President of the Russian Federation of July 17, 2019 based on the results of the meeting of the State Council of the Russian Federation in terms of improving the legal regulation of relations related to urban planning and construction. “The amendments proposed by the draft federal law will ensure a systematic transition from the current single-stage to multi-stage design and “integrate” into the construction process the ability to make and evaluate changes to the project without stopping construction. In fact, the bill does not create a new mechanism, but brings the industry back to Soviet experience and the international practice of multi-stage design,” - emphasized Deputy Minister Dmitry Volkov. He stressed that so far the concept of working documentation has not been regulated, therefore, the bill proposes to determine its legal status and establish the procedure for preparation. Currently, the bill has passed the procedure of all necessary approvals in the Government and can be adopted in the very near future.
