Building documentation law

Law
of 8 July 1959
on documentation of buildings
The National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic decided on the following Act:
Preliminary provisions
The Act provides for the development, negotiation and approval of documentation of buildings whose investors are socialist organisations, ensuring that these buildings are consistent with the planned development of the national economy and with the principles of spatial planning and ensuring the most progressive technology, the highest cost-effectiveness in the implementation and operation of buildings (use) and their cultural level.
Construction documentation
Documentation of buildings includes:
(a) preparatory documentation;
(b) project documentation.
Preparatory documentation
(1) The construction preparatory documentation shall always include an investment task and, in the case referred to in paragraph 4, a prospective study.
(2) The investment task is a brief and substantive definition and justification of the intended construction, identifying the area or place of construction, its purpose and the basic information on the type and extent of production or services. The investment task sets out progressive technical economic indicators for the implementation and operation of the construction (use) and its investment costs.
(3) If other investments are immediately triggered by the intended construction, the investment task shall also include justified information on such investments and their costs.
(4) In the case of large or long-term investment construction, involving several interconnected buildings, its connection with the intended construction, if not already explained by the approved zoning plan, must be clarified at the latest.
(5) The approved investment task is a binding basis for the preparation of project documentation.
The investment task and, where appropriate, the forward-looking study shall be carried out by an investor who is responsible for their correctness and the highest economic level. The investor is obliged to discuss the investment task and, where appropriate, a prospective study with the competent authorities of the government and with the organisations concerned.
Project documentation and its discussion
(1) Project documentation of buildings is usually divided into two stages, for the procurement project and for the implementation project. The implementing rules shall specify in which cases the project documentation may be drawn up as a single stage project or, where appropriate, by other means.
(2) The procurement project is a comprehensive technical and economic solution for the construction defined by the investment task; determines clearly the layout, operation and function of the designed building, technology, economic effects and art solutions, it proposes basic technological equipment that affects the operation and principles of the construction solution of the building part in a decisive way. The procurement project addresses the construction in accordance with the decision on the location of the construction. In accordance with the provisions of the implementing rules, the procurement project shall determine the duration of the implementation of the construction; the budget for the procurement project determines the excess limit on the sales price of the construction or part of it.
(3) At the same time, the procurement project must demonstrate the necessity, scope and security of the investments brought about with the cost figures.
(4) In the case of large or long-term investment construction, involving several interconnected constructions, it shall be demonstrated, at the same time as the procurement project for the first construction, that all its connections with the entire intended construction in the general solution, which disseminates the data of the forward-looking study, are ensured.
(5) The approved procurement project is a binding basis for the preparation of the implementation project and for the conclusion of economic contracts with suppliers.
(6) The implementation project disseminates (or improves) the content of the procurement project into the details necessary to improve, supplement and validate the solution contained in the approved procurement project, and into the details needed to clearly clarify the delivery of machinery and equipment, including assembly and construction. From a technicoeconomic point of view, the implementation project must be aimed at reducing the investment and operating costs of the construction compared to the approved procurement project without damaging its quality, reducing the construction time and reducing the supplier's own production costs.
(1) The procurement projects are developed by project and other organisations authorised under specific regulations as a general designer; they are obliged to request the participation of general (final) suppliers. The general designer shall carry out copyright supervision and, as a general rule, coordinate the development of implementing projects. Implementation projects shall be developed by general (final) suppliers, unless otherwise provided for in the implementing rules.
(2) The organisations supplying the project documentation are responsible for its technical progress and correctness, the highest economy and the cultural level of the solution; they are required to discuss such documentation with the public authorities and the organisations concerned.
(3) Suppliers shall be required to provide the organisations which draw up the project documentation, the data and the documentation for its preparation and to participate in the necessary extent of its solution.
(4) For buildings or parts thereof for which approved type documents are available, individual projects shall not be allowed to be drawn up. Exceptions may be authorised in individual justified cases by the authority which approved the type base or by the authority empowered by it.
Before approving the procurement project (Section 8), the investor is obliged to submit it for consideration in the construction procedure to the construction office or to another body responsible for carrying out the construction procedure according to specific regulations.
Approval of building documentation
The documentation of the buildings shall be subject to approval to the extent and in a manner specified by the State Construction Committee, with the approval of the Government.
Implementing rules
The provisions necessary for the implementation of this Act shall be issued by the State Building Committee.
Documentation of special purpose construction of single agricultural cooperatives
The rules on documentation of special-purpose structures of single agricultural cooperatives shall be issued by the State Committee on Construction in agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture.
Final provisions
The legal measure of the Bureau of the National Assembly No 44 / 1956 Coll., on documentation of investment construction is hereby repealed and the regulations issued by it are hereby repealed.
This Law shall take effect from 1 August 1959; it shall be carried out by all members of the Government.
