Deficiencies in the new building: to call or be tormented by the builders?

State of the market buildings today is such that the customer as happy as a clam at high tide to get the coveted apartment into a different form. Numerous scandals defrauded real estate investors that have already become "tradition" delay deadlines homes for 2-3 years led to the consumer - when he was still flat yield - prefers "not to watch horse in the mouth." Although the "horse"-in this case is clearly not received as a gift - for him paid for his blood. What are construction deficiencies and marriage, how they can fight - these issues were dealt with reports online magazine about the property Metrinfo. Baptist Ravshan do not know how much it can soothe consumers 'unfinished' apartments, but the "shoals" in the building have always existed. The most famous example - Leaning Tower of Pisa. This case is probably unique in the history of the building when the marriage failed to benefit. It was a right - no one would not know about it! And then turned into a tourist attraction worldwide. You can find more ancient precedents. For example, recent studies have shown that problems arose during construction of the famous pyramids of Cheops in Egypt. Its central part - the "King's Chamber" - supported by granite beams. They found cracks on them, but for a long time believed that they appeared at a later date - after all, 4500 years old house. However, computer simulations showed that the beams sagged when the height of the pyramid was only 120 m (its final height - 146.6 m). Further it is clear without further ado: the scene of the accident came to the chief architect (even history has preserved its name - Hemiun). Do not skimping on kicks and zubotychiny, he ordered to fill the cracks with a special solution. It worked today are built better? Modern times, causing mixed feelings. On the one hand, the last 5-6 years in Moscow alone there were two terrible accidents - in the "Transvaal" and Basmanny market, and in both cases, the fault lies at least partially on the builders and designers. On the other - houses like trouble, fortunately, so far bypassed. On the contrary, there are counter-examples. In April last year in the 22-etazhke Street Academician Korolev was a violent explosion took place - a result later found that the owner of the apartment on the 10th floor in violation of all imaginable norms worked with a welder. Personally, I'm in this story is most impressed that with all the devastation the house survived, and its demolition and no one speaks. So the building today, at least soundly. Another thing - all sorts of minor issues, deficiencies. "Most of them also can be called a poorly bred walls, and sometimes the lack thereof (where they should be), - said Roman Shchekochikhin, technical director of the service general contractor of the Group of Companies" Pioneer ". - Also quite often of poor quality windows, glazed balconies, stained glass and other elements of what is called "translucent system." There is also the official data of the Moscow construction. According to them, the main complaints settlers account for the unsatisfactory state of node adjacencies window units to wall openings (22%), the quality of the window and balcony blocks (16%) and finishing (18%). Also, residents are dissatisfied with the state of fronts, including balconies and loggias (12%), plumbers (9%), sealing of joints (4%), carpentry (5%), thermal insulation and sound insulation of walls, partitions and ceilings ( 2%). It is remarkable that the experts we surveyed did not agree with the thesis that "there before during the Soviet era were built as it should ..." "Build for the past 20 years have been better, - said Sergey Baranov, deputy. Director of "Relight-Development" (included in the CC "Relight Group"). - Developers are trying to keep a certain level even in economy class. In the new series of panel houses apartments were more spacious, there is now huge joints on ceilings, balcony glazing builders themselves, which not only eliminates the hassle of tenants, but also make the appearance of buildings more aesthetic. " "In a sample panel houses the late '80s - early '90s had a lot of punch, but the quality of the building then turned a blind eye" - agrees Olga Guseva, head of marketing of the Group companies' Domostroitel. " True, she admits, positive changes occur more slowly. Are there any "legal deficiencies" As in many other matters, the laws governing this area of ​​life, we are great. "Legitimate" defects can not be all that is necessary under the regulations - must be met in reality, all that is missing or is not completed yet - should be eliminated builders - said Roman Shchekochikhin ("Pioneer"). - The contract, signed by the buyer new developments must be approved by the state in which to give up an apartment. And you have the right to claim all that you promised when you buy. " Moreover, the expert, if the contract is contrary to existing regulations, builders still obliged to take shelter in accordance with existing regulations. What are these standards? The various state standards and building codes (Building Code). They are detailed manner prescribed nearly everything. For example, the height difference between two points on the floor, spaced at 2 m, can not exceed 2 mm. Walls need to be prepared under Wallcovering - irregularities in the range of 1 mm to 1 m in length. No gaps between the window unit and the wall is not allowed at all, and sealing panel joints, it turns out, is not an additional service and duty construction ... In general, building codes - that heavy, and can understand them only well-trained people. If a buyer sees an apartment that was built facility, to put it mildly, does not meet the standards come into force Art. 29 of the Law "On Protection of Consumers' Rights, called the" Consumer Rights in detecting defects of the work (service). " In accordance with this buyer may require: - free elimination of defects of the work - a corresponding reduction in the price of the work - reimbursement of the costs of corrective work done on their own or third parties. Also, the consumer has the right to refuse to perform the contract, if within that period the deficiencies are not remedied by the Executive. Besides, he can claim full damages. For objects that are constructed according to the rules established by federal law № 214 "On participation in joint construction ...", you can apply Art. 7 of this Federal Law. It's called "Quality assurance under the contract," and states that "The developer is obliged to share construction party object shared construction quality that conform to the contract requirements of technical regulations, project documentation and town planning regulations and other mandatory requirements." In case of breach - almost the same as that in the "Consumer Rights": gratuitous elimination of defects, proportionate reduction in price or reimbursement of their expenses for elimination of defects. And in practice? Needless to say, that in real life many buyers do not pay much attention to the shortcomings? Buyer accustomed to the idea that he gets "bare concrete" - respectively, is ready to invest in an apartment. Today, bringing new buildings into residential type costs $ 300 per sq. km. m. According to the builders, this amount could be $ 50-70 less if new was without defects. Not so, incidentally, is not enough - it turns out, the buyer apartments of 100 square meters. m, gives the developer $ 5-7 thousand. If, however, with something you disagree, then the most effective - not to sign the act of acceptance of the apartment. "When the flat flow tubes, glass or not, this is clearly a minor bug builders, and the buyer simply can not sign the act until the data deficiencies are not satisfied, - said Sergey Baranov (" Relight-Development "). - Usually, the developer reserves of about 10% of the total wage fund construction work on correcting deficiencies. " However, developers are not particularly a rush to correct deficiencies "- We have in the bathroom dyrischa! - Wrote a happy new settler in one of the forums of tenants new buildings - the act of acceptance and transfer of all recorded ... but things are out there ... so we decide on their own, the more maintenance is already underway, and wait for the developer to remedy defects there is no time. " "Today I saw the smoke of the workers" - hopefully sees another "forumchanka," but the other forum visitors trying to persuade the girl to subquality cope on their own. Developers have been slow to pass and finished apartments in the property buyers (not so long ago we wrote about it: "Property in court: developers impose on the tradition. Take her not to.") Most consumers end up sufficiently "promarinovannymi" to rejoice in the receipt of property - in any conditions. To those who are trying to "swing right", the developers refer to the spirit of the "Iliad": "You sit in silence and obey my verbs, or you do not help either all the deities on Mount Olympus, If, rising on you will lay hands neobornye" Helps developers and the fact that after the completion of the house passed he created the same management company. It is in every way "pulls on the brakes" complaints from residents, seeking only one thing - the warranty period. After five years (for public housing - two years), all claims related to the quality of the house, the builder can produce. Summary of online magazine about the property Metrinfo should be recognized that the market buildings are still very far from civilization. At this point there is a very simple indicator: when consumers are grievances to court and winning processes. We have also yet citizens prefer "wipe", eliminating the construction deficiencies at his own expense. On the other hand, there is a bright moment. Since 2003, Architecture, Construction, Development and Reconstruction of Moscow (KASRR) operates a "hot line" on a house-buildings. By calling (495) 650-50-55 (Monday-Friday from 10.00 to 19.00, and the rest of the messages recorded on answering machine), you can report imperfection. The measure is very effective: for those developers who refuse to comply with the requirements of specialists "hot line", the City may select building license. In our situation, it would effectively any court.
