Abstract
Pricing in construction is the process of calculating the price of construction objects based on the estimated cost of construction materials and construction and installation work. It is carried out under the control and with the direct participation of specialized government bodies. Improvement of the public administration system in construction is transforming the approaches and methods of state pricing in the industry. This is due to the desire to more accurately and objectively take into account all the costs incurred in the course of construction and installation work, which change primarily under the influence of inflationary processes and the rising cost of building materials. Each erected building or structure in construction has its own individual price. The price for a construction object should not be overstated, but at the same time, it must comply with the established construction standards. In the system of state pricing in construction, two main methods of calculating the estimated cost of a construction object are used - base-index and resource. The first method is based on the use of unit prices developed taking into account the price level in the base period and their adjustment using the estimated cost indices. The resource calculation method is based on current prices for structural materials and construction work. The study provides a comparative assessment of the two methods, determines their effectiveness, identifies the problems of state pricing in construction in the Russian Federation. To achieve transparency in determining the construction cost, it was decided to switch to the resource method of drawing up estimate documentation as more objective, despite the significant laboriousness of calculations.
Highlights
The ongoing changes in the national economy, the transformation of society needs and the rational use of resources and financial resources necessary for production necessitate the improvement of various spheres and sectors of the economy, including construction
An important role in this is played by the state pricing system organization, which is aimed at substantiated and objective calculation of prices for building materials and determining the cost of construction and installation work required for the construction of buildings and structures
Pricing in construction has its own specifics associated with the complexity of the construction process, the duration of the production cycle, the use of various building materials during it, and the involvement of subcontractors for construction work
Summary
The ongoing changes in the national economy, the transformation of society needs and the rational use of resources and financial resources necessary for production necessitate the improvement of various spheres and sectors of the economy, including construction. The state is called upon to play a significant role in the pricing system in construction, pursuing through specialized bodies an adequate pricing policy based on price accounting and estimated rationing of building materials and construction and installation works. In the course of construction industry state regulation, the problem of construction materials’ rational use allocated for construction activities comes to the fore. An important role in this is played by the state pricing system organization, which is aimed at substantiated and objective calculation of prices for building materials and determining the cost of construction and installation work required for the construction of buildings and structures. This article is devoted to the consideration of the state pricing system modern mechanism features in construction on the basis of adequate calculation and estimated rationing of essential construction materials and construction work
