The rules for monitoring the prices of construction resources have been changed. The adoption of this resolution is one of the urgent measures aimed at improving pricing in the construction industry and a “painless” transition to a resource method for determining the estimated cost of construction based on the results of state monitoring of prices for construction resources. In particular, the resolution postponed the placement of the estimated prices of construction resources determined by the Ministry of Construction of Russia according to the monitoring results from 2019 to 2022 in the federal state information system for pricing in construction (FSIS PC). Changes to the rules for monitoring the prices of construction resources also include expanding the list of sources of information necessary to form the estimated prices of construction resources, and the participation of federal executive bodies, executive bodies of the Russian Federation, state corporations and companies with state participation in the mechanism for determining the estimated cost of construction. This will allow to take into account regional and sectoral specifics when determining the estimated cost of construction and increase the accuracy of determining the estimated cost of construction.
