Formation of the quality management system criteria in repurposing industrial facilities

Abstract

For decades, the principles of urban planning have not paid due regard to the specific features of industrial areas’ location with account of the dynamic development of megalopolises that absorb such facilities and thus create destructive factors for the urban environment. Surrounded by residential, administrative, and office blocks, industrial areas lose their attractiveness to the city authorities in their function as main budget-forming and job-creating entities, as the development of civilization results in new requirements to the environment, increasing the cadastral value of the land, while the cost of labor in the central parts of large cities grows much faster than on the outskirts or in small towns, where the process of “absorption” of industrial areas by the urban environment is not so fast and intensive. The issue of repurposing manufacturing enterprises located in the central parts of cities, as well as quality control in implementing renovation of similar facilities is particularly acute for large cities, whose urbanization areas are continuously growing. This article deals with the study of the links between the process control and management structures, as well as information support for construction supervision in the Russian Federation and other countries, such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, etc.; reveals the main features of the interaction between customers and general contractors in construction quality management; and justifies the need for development of an automated design system for construction quality management.
