Abstract
The article presents author’s ideas on the transformation of methodological approaches to determining the cost of technological equipment associated with capital construction objects. Diagnostics showed that the estimated norms for the installation of equipment in the current estimate and regulatory database contain hundreds of obsolete items. At the same time monitoring of the equipment market and comparison of its result with the norms show the absence of even more positions necessary for calculating the cost of modern equipment for capital construction projects. The proposed changes in the existing practice of standardizing the costs of installing equipment using obsolete estimates are based on the results of the author’s analysis. The analysis is carried out in the form of continuous diagnostics of existing standards and their comparison with modern market indicators and methods of determining the cost of technological equipment, its installation and commissioning. Authors propose to revise the methodological approaches to determining the estimated cost of industrial equipment, bringing it closer to the real market pricing conditions. The formation of current standards should be made on the basis of analysis and processing of information from manufacturers/suppliers and collective peer reviews, i.e. through analytical, statistical and expert methods.
Highlights
The task of determining the cost of technological equipment for capital construction projects is classified as complex
– the need to take into account the industry specificity of collections; – the need for analysis of modern production and technological processes in various sectors of the economy; – the need for a comparative analysis of technical and technological characteristics of equipment provided for by estimate norms and equipment used in modern production in the sectoral context; – market research of technological equipment and/or information from producers and suppliers in the sectoral context; – study of current experience and established practice in terms of equipment installation technologies and cost formation
The collections of State itemized estimates for equipment installation (CSIEe-2001) and Federal unit rates for equipment installation (FURe-2001) are conventionally classified into the following groups according to the nature of their use: – estimate norms for the installation of general engineering equipment used to determine the estimated cost of various production and non-production facilities; – estimate norms for the installation of general-purpose technological equipment used to determine the estimated cost of various production and non-production facilities; – estimate norms for the installation of industry-specific technological equipment used to determine the estimated cost of highly specialized production facilities
Summary
The task of determining the cost of technological equipment for capital construction projects is classified as complex. Technological equipment, on the one hand, is functionally connected with objects of capital construction and is a part of them, while on the other hand it has specific features. The life cycles of the capital construction object and equipment differ by several times. The dynamics of changes in the functional, technical and cost characteristics of equipment significantly outstrips similar indicators of construction products. In this connection, the normative approach applied in determining the cost of construction in terms of technological equipment does not give a reliable result [4]
