Full title and description

RF Government Resolution No. 87 dated 16 February 2008 "On composition of the design documentation sections and requirements for their content" (with amendments as of 06 July 2019). The resolution (Постановление Правительства Российской Федерации от 16 февраля 2008 г. № 87) establishes the required composition of sections of project (design) documentation and the mandatory content requirements for those sections when preparing project documentation for construction, reconstruction and major repairs of capital construction facilities (including linear objects).

Abstract

This Government resolution defines the list of sections that must be included in project documentation, sets minimum content requirements for each section (textual and graphical parts, and the possibility of information models), and specifies different requirements depending on the type of construction object and stage of work. The document has been amended multiple times; the user-specified edition includes amendments introduced on 06 July 2019.

Scope

The resolution applies to project (design) documentation prepared for capital construction projects (including buildings, structures and linear objects) and to documentation prepared for individual stages of construction, reconstruction and capital repair. It prescribes which sections the project documentation must contain (for example: explanatory note; architectural and space-planning solutions; structural (building) solutions; engineering systems and networks; fire safety; environmental measures; estimate documentation; working drawings) and sets mandatory content requirements for those sections. The document also addresses submission of documentation for state expertise and interaction with other regulatory acts.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of the mandatory sections of project documentation (textual and graphical parts) for different classes of capital construction objects and for separate stages of works.
• Detailed content requirements for each section (what information and documents must be included in the explanatory note, architectural solutions, structural solutions, engineering networks, fire safety, environmental protection, estimates, etc.).
• Requirements for the form of presentation, including allowance for information in textual, graphical or information model form (mention of information model possibilities in the consolidated text).
• Special provisions for linear objects and for documentation prepared at separate stages (design, working documentation, as-built documentation).
• Amendment-specific changes (example: amendments introduced by Government Resolution No. 864 of 06.07.2019 modified parts of section 1 — explanatory note — regarding information about land plots to be withdrawn for state needs).
• Interaction with state expertise procedures — the resolution indicates which sections are subject to state (expert) review in accordance with the Urban Planning Code and related rules.

Typical use and users

This resolution is used by design organisations, architects and engineers preparing project documentation; by clients and developers to ensure required content is provided; by expert organisations performing state or non-state design expertise; and by regional and federal authorities (construction supervision, permitting bodies) when assessing compliance of project documentation with regulatory requirements. It is a primary reference when compiling documentation for permitting and expertise in Russia.

Related standards

Commonly referenced documents and rules alongside this resolution include the Urban Planning (Town-Planning) Code of the Russian Federation (provisions on project documentation and expertise), the system of design documentation for construction (GOST R / SP / SNIP series and GOST R 21.* family), various SP (set of rules) documents on structural, fire safety and engineering systems, and subsequent Government resolutions and orders that amend or detail specific requirements (the resolution itself has been amended several times by later Government acts).
