Abstract
One of the most important tasks of Russia’s Ministry of Construction is the compilation of the registry of building designs approved for repeat use in public facilities construction. When completed, this registry will facilitate the design process and reduce building-related costs and construction timeframes. The existing guidelines, standards and regulations applicable to repeat designs are analyzed. Challenges hampering the broader use of repeat designs are assessed and possible solutions are suggested. The article presents a set of criteria for the selection of the most efficient designs recommended for repeat use (technical and technological evaluation, investment attractiveness, operation and maintenance costs estimate).
