Seminar at SPbGASU

SPbGASU held a seminar “Digital transformation of the construction sector and standardization in self-regulation as tools for improving the quality and safety of capital construction projects”.

The event was organized by the National Association of Surveyors and Designers (NOPRIZ), SPbGASU and the Association SRO "OsnovaProekt".

The first day of the seminar began with a plenary session moderated by the coordinator of NOPRIZ for the Northwestern Federal District Aleksandr Vikhrov and the deputy director of the Association SRO "OsnovaProekt" for development Polina Fedyuchek. It was followed by two round tables. The first was devoted to the role of digital transformation of architectural and construction design and engineering surveys in improving the quality of capital construction. The second discussed how standardization in self-regulation affected the quality of construction.

Vice President and member of the NOPRIZ Council Mikhail Lyubimov highlighted the main problems in the field of digitalization of the construction sector, proposed ways to solve them, emphasizing the potential of NOPRIZ, and also spoke about the support measures implemented by the national association. "It is important to remember that digitalization should be a means of optimizing our industry, and not a goal in itself. A significant issue of digitalization is the availability of effective domestic software. At the last all-Russian congress of NOPRIZ, we concluded an agreement with the Domestic Software Association. The main idea of ​​such cooperation is to support domestic developers," he noted.

Also, Mikhail Lyubimov added that NOPRIZ was working with Glavgosexpertiza to create comprehensive software solutions for the connectivity of the domestic ecosystem and the transition to full-fledged digital management of the construction life cycle.

The President of the Association SRO "OsnovaProekt" Sergey Levitsky emphasized the need to adapt professional standards and qualification requirements in construction to the realities of the digital age.

SPbGASU Vice-Rector for Continuing Education Viktoria Vinogradova noted: “The common tasks of the university and self-regulatory organizations lie in the area of ​​improving the quality of construction, ensuring the safety of facilities and training highly qualified specialists. We share the desire to create a sustainable and innovative construction industry. The university can be useful to self-regulatory organizations as a competence center offering educational programs, scientific research and a platform for testing new technologies. In turn, self-regulatory organizations can provide practical expertise, helping us adapt educational programs to the real needs of the market.”

During the seminar, representatives of the NOPRIZ apparatus conducted training for employees of self-regulatory organizations in accordance with the professional standard “Specialist in the field of self-regulation in urban development activities” and on the work of SRO specialists in the Automated Information System “Rating”.

After the seminar, the participants were ceremonially presented certificates of completion of training at SPbGASU.
