Building regulations are a silent protector to the general public. These are mostly not well recognized unless a situation arises where regulations are felt inadequate or not enforced. In Lahore a number of authorities are present for the same purpose. This research aims at studying the building regulations of the city’s four different authorities i.e. Lahore Development Authority (LDA), town Municipal Administration (TMA), Lahore Cantonment Board (LCB) and Model Town Cooperative Society (MCS), and assesses the underlying causes for their implementation failures and successes. Along with reviewing the international practices, the study identifies respondents from the general public and building officials and thus tabulates the obtained results for analyzing the efficiency of a building authority. Socio-economic surveys as well as interview surveys have been conducted, in the light of which the working of all four authorities in relevance to different attributes have been assessed. The results reveal that the MCS has the most efficient building regulations mechanism and portrays an overall satisfactory condition. Recommendations have been made to identify tools for better implementation of building bye laws as well as provide an insight to the user for legalized building construction.

The international experience of integrating building information modeling (BIM) into project management system with innovation implementation accent has been revealed in this article. The events carried out on federal and regional levels concerning the President of Russia directive on building construction industry modernization and construction objects transferring to life cycle management by means of BIM were analyzed. The large company experience of implementing BIM was summarized with describing some examples in different cities and regions of our country and thus the main directions of this technology development were determined. The key points of BIM and project management system pairing and impacting an innovation choice witch determine the project economic efficiency in the integrated management system were shown. The main reports of "Building construction projects technology and management: new practices and prospects" conference by Moscow Trade and Commerce Chamber were reviewed in this direction and problems of the new investment and construction project management technology implementation were shown. The ways to solve these problems were disclosed by work examples of PAO "Sberbank", and successfully working in our country firms Bilfinger Tebodin - BIM design and Beiten Burkhard -jurisdiction support. Some economic efficiency questions of BIM implementation were disclosed in the report delivered by The Plekhanov University of Economics (project and program management base department of Capital Group). Management system suggestions, regarding BIM implementation in Moscow construction were given.


In construction production, the safety of constructing buildings and structures is achieved by ensuring the required quality as a result of systematic construction control based on the implementation of a complex of technical, economic and organizational measures at all stages of the object's life cycle. The article deals with the actual problem of improving the quality of construction products-buildings and structures in conjunction with the activities of construction control bodies. The article presents the advanced foreign and domestic experience of ensuring the quality control at the construction sites, providing for the prevention of the underlying causes of defects and increasing the interest of the contractors directly. On the basis of the analysis of the current situation with quality control at the construction market, ways to improve its efficiency by developing a unified system of technological implementation of relevant requirements for the quality of construction products, determining the rational number and business load of construction control engineers, as well as the active activities of self-regulatory organizations in this area are offered.
