A feature of modern construction is the large-scale reconstruction of blocks in the center of large cities. In recent decades, investors have increasingly sought to increase the number of storeys of buildings. However, the construction of high-rise buildings (above 75 m) in the conditions of the current development of the metropolis has a number of problems that can negate all the benefits of placing a real estate object in the central districts of the city. The greatest problems are identified already at the design stage of the foundations of high-rise buildings. The article discusses 5 key problems that have the maximum impact on the increase in the cost of construction of high-rise buildings.

The introduction of construction work in urban development is associated with a number of important factors, as well as near unusual engineering and geological conditions. In this regard, design schemes were identified for the construction of new buildings erected in cramped urban areas. Thus, it was found that the most suitable structural scheme for various buildings is a frame with the implementation of certain structural changes in view of the cramped conditions. This also applies to the design scheme of the foundations. This paper discusses the main structural schemes, as well as schemes and their design changes to ensure the reliability of a public building being built in cramped conditions.

The buildings of the old housing stock, dating back to the second half of the 19th century, were built of bricks with lime mortar, the foundations were made of rubble stone, with and without cellars, the roofs were made of metal tin sheets on wooden rafters. Interfloor and attic floors were arranged on wooden (mainly pine wood) or metal beams with wooden filling. The building materials used for the construction of buildings of that period differed in strength characteristics, service life and, at the same time, were subjected to various negative influences during the period of operation. During the reconstruction of the ceiling on wooden beams, the standard service life of which is 40-60 years, it is necessary to install new ceilings, while preventing the destruction of the brickwork of the walls and the performance of work in difficult cramped conditions.

The technology of erecting inverted green roof in exploited roofs is becoming increasingly relevant in modern construction in accordance with the principles of sustainable development and energy efficiency. However, the theoretical support for the design and construction of an inverted roof is still not enough – there is no comprehensive analysis of the roof structure, which would comprehensively take into account various criteria. The study developed mathematical models of three systematized groups of erection of inverted roofs (on supports, without supports and roof-parking) according to three enlarged criteria that comprehensively characterize their design: tecnological efficiency, resource efficiency and environmental friendliness. The results of the study make it possible to determine the optimal solutions for roofing at the stage of variant structural and technological design for their further improvement and application in construction practice.

When designing engineering structures, the efficiency of the engineer’s work is important. The cooperation between individual programs in BIM technology is very important in this aspect, because it significantly speeds up the work and, as a result, the design process is less time-consuming. In the process of designing steel structures, the first stage is the selection of an appropriate structural solution, then numerical calculations of the model together with all assigned load cases and dimensioning of individual elements of the structure in terms of the ultimate and serviceability limit state. After selecting the appropriate sections, you can start working on the detailed drawings of a given structure. When performing numerical calculations and drawings, at least two programs should be used. The article presents the cooperation between the Dlubal RFEM numerical calculation program and the Tekla Structures building structure modeling program on the example of a steel structure floor design.

Concrete and reinforced concrete recycling is a system of mechanical processing of waste concrete and reinforced concrete with the aim of obtaining raw materials for secondary use, i.e. resource renewal and returning construction waste to the economic cycle. In order to reduce costs for new construction, preserve natural resources, and land areas that could be used for new landfills, it is necessary to use recycled concrete and reinforced concrete as secondary crushed stone and sand-gravel mixture. At present, the economic necessity has arisen for the development of modern domestic equipment for processing concrete waste. Foreign manufacturers of crushing equipment from unfriendly countries are leaving Russia, which gives an impetus to the active development of this industry in our country, as well as to the emergence of new relationships with companies from countries that previously did not have access to our market.

Building materials are classical composites with heterogeneous and multiphase structure. Components are introduced into their composition - industrial waste. Based on the author's developments, the modification of fine-grained concrete with mineral additives based on industrial waste from the Lower Volga region as hardening activators and fillers of concrete compositions leads to an increase in compressive strength. Fine-grained concrete modified by industrial waste components (construction composition) will be widely used due to its architectural and construction properties, increased physical and mechanical characteristics, versatility and an affordable raw material base in the Lower Volga region, which is economically and environmentally justified. It is concluded that fine-grained concrete modified by industrial waste components (construction composition) is promising at all stages of construction of buildings and structures.

Investment and construction projects (ISPs) are a complex set of individual business processes that require significant funds, time and human resources. The main task of each ISP customer is to reduce these costs while maintaining the quality of the project. Currently, digital technologies are successfully used for this purpose, which reduce its cost at each stage of the development of the ISP. However, it is necessary to take into account a number of problems that are characteristic of modern systems of digitalization of design processes. Such problems include: a limited choice of specialized software products on the Russian market; the lack of a clear mechanism for the interaction of several software products designed to solve technical, technological and economic problems of ISP; a low level of adaptation for building a BIM model; lack of effective tools for processing large amounts of information.Solving such problems is a complex and multi-vector task.

A review of the problem of accounting for random factors in the scheduling of construction projects is considered. The problems of taking into account random factors in construction scheduling have been considered in works. However, these studies have not paid full attention to the course of construction for large projects. At the same time, scheduling problems are closely related to optimization of working hours and resource allocation in construction production. Such tasks are usually solved by considering several variants of the technological sequence of works, and the typology and variability of random factors are not fully taken into account. A number of researchers have the view that the determining factor in estimating the actual duration of construction is the reliability of suppliers and delivery of construction products. However, it is not possible to ensure the construction process in reality without interruptions in work. The main reason for this is random factors. It is suggested to take them into account on the basis of modern information technologies including artificial intelligence, stochastic approaches, probability theory and mathematical statistics.

This article discusses the relationship of all stages of the life cycle of buildings on the basis of information-analytical system IAS HCS. The full life-cycle cost of a 1,000-seat school was calculated. Using the IAS HCS program, we made calculations of the costs of repair work on three models: without taking into account any repair work, taking into account the repair of the main structural elements and taking into account the repair of all elements, based on the standard operating time. Real estate life cycle cost analysis can be performed for both new and existing buildings of any type (residential and public). Evaluation of the total costs of the full life cycle of the object can be applied by both the developer and the owner of the building to further improve the management system of the property.
