Self-Regulatory Organisations in the Field of Construction
With the development of market relations in investment construction activity, the law enforcement function of the state in this branch of the economy is decreasing. The state transfers the authority to issue construction permits to self-regulating organisations. The introduction of the institution of self-regulation contributed to the elimination of ineffective control over the construction industry by the state and unnecessary administrative barriers to entry into the construction market. The author considers it necessary to unite self-regulating organisations in the field of construction, preparation of project documentation and exploration into a single complex, since the present existence of these structures of self-regulating organisations can lead to monopolisation of each stage of construction activity. The author proposes to legislate the concept of a self-regulating organisation in the field of construction in the town-planning code of the Russian Federation. To state it in the following interpretation: The SRO in the field of construction is a non-profit organisation that is created on the basis of the membership of individual entrepreneurs and legal entities that carry out activities to organise and ensure construction, construction activities in order to provide control function for the legitimate and conscientious fulfilment of their duties by participants, protection of their rights and protected interests, performance of other functions stipulated by the town-planning legislation.
