Detailed overview of procedures for technical control of PGD and interdependencies with quality management in construction

In Serbia, the technical control of the Preliminary Design (PGD) is a mandatory process dictated by the Law on Planning and Construction. This procedure ensures that all project documentation meets both national and international standards, thereby minimizing risks and enhancing safety during the construction phase. The technical control is closely linked with quality management systems, which are vital for maintaining the consistency, reliability and quality of both design and construction processes.

1. Technical control procedures for PGD

The technical control of PGD involves several interconnected procedures aimed at verifying compliance with legal, technical and safety standards. Key procedures include:

  • Preparation and submission of technical documentation: Investors or project owners must prepare and submit comprehensive technical documents, including the PGD, environmental assessments, geotechnical studies and preliminary structural analyses. These documents should be developed by licensed professionals and submitted to relevant authorities or third-party reviewers for evaluation.
  • Technical evaluation and verification: A team of licensed engineers conducts a thorough review of the PGD, assessing compliance with urban planning regulations, structural integrity, fire safety, environmental protection and energy efficiency standards. The team ensures that the technical solutions in the PGD are feasible and align with established regulations.
  • Coordination with specialized institutions: The reviewing entity may coordinate with specialized institutions, such as environmental agencies and fire safety departments, to obtain necessary approvals. This includes reviewing environmental impact assessments and compliance with fire protection regulations.
  • Issuance of technical control report: After the review, the technical control team issues a report outlining the findings, including any compliance issues or recommended changes. If the documentation is compliant, it proceeds in the permitting process; otherwise, the investor must make necessary updates and resubmit.
  • Submission to authorities: The finalized PGD, along with the Technical Control Report, is submitted to the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure or local authorities to obtain a Building Permit, essential for advancing to the Detailed Design (PZI) phase and beginning construction.

2. Interdependencies with quality management systems

The technical control process is integrated with quality management systems (QMS) in the construction industry, ensuring all processes, from design to construction, meet high standards.

  • Integration of QMS: Systems like ISO 9001 are incorporated into technical control, providing a structured approach to documentation management, design verification, and compliance monitoring, thus minimizing errors during the permitting phases.
  • Quality Assurance and Control (QA/QC): QA procedures during technical control ensure the design meets required standards, while QC activities involve detailed inspections of design documents and methodologies to verify compliance with safety and environmental standards.
  • Document control and traceability: Effective QMS emphasizes the control of documentation, ensuring modifications are tracked throughout the project lifecycle. Electronic document management systems (EDMS) streamline this process, enhancing transparency and accountability.
  • Continuous improvement: QMS promotes ongoing enhancement by analyzing feedback from the technical control process, which helps identify deficiencies and fosters a culture of quality and compliance.

3. Integration of technical control and construction supervision

Technical control is part of a broader framework that includes construction supervision during project execution, ensuring that quality and safety standards are upheld throughout the construction process.

  • Role of the Supervising Engineer: The Supervising Engineer monitors construction activities to ensure compliance with the approved PGD and PZI, verifying material quality and construction methods. Any deviations from the approved design must be documented and reported.
  • Coordination Between Technical Control and Supervision: Close collaboration between the technical control body and the supervising engineer is vital for maintaining quality throughout the project. Regular inspections and reports facilitate alignment with approved designs and quality standards.

4. Electronic Permit System and Quality Assurance

The technical control process is supported by the Central Information System for Electronic Permits, which simplifies the submission, review, and approval of technical documentation, enhancing quality assurance.

  • Centralized database: The electronic permit system allows for centralized management of all technical documents, ensuring easy access for reviews and audits.
  • Transparency and traceability: The system provides real-time updates on the status of technical reviews and permits, ensuring transparency throughout the permitting process.

By adhering to these procedures and integrating quality management systems, Serbia can ensure that construction projects are safe, efficient and compliant with all relevant standards.
