Construction Planning: Theory and Practice

Equity participation in the Joint construction of the house is now one of the basic mechanisms of purchase housing. After the federal law № 214 came into force, more and more developers are choosing this way of implementing their projects. Indeed, if there is a bona fide developer, for him this share building is highly profitable: he could finance the construction by the due date, using only minimal debt. But even developer in good faith is not insured against mistakes of designers, which may well disrupt alleged construction time of the building, which will need to invest additional funds and cause discontent of shareholders.

Just so happened with the construction of a dwelling house at Balakovskaya Street in Samara. By entering into contracts with real estate investors in 2005, development company was supposed to build three-unit apartment building for three years and outlined the terms of the putting house in operation, the layout of apartments and their finishing. The object was planned to be commissioned (with all the risks) in 2008, when in fact by this time had just started the second section of the building.

Problems emerged at an early stage of the construction works, and the main reason was the design errors. Terms of spot development inevitably led to the need for pumping groundwater, which caused a subsidence of soils under construction building and adjacent area. Because of strata movement of soils the blind area of the building has subsided on 0.12 m, it cracked up to 0.02 m.
