3. Who needs CRO approval and ISO certificates

Description of the market

What is an sro permit?

According to the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation, all enterprises (legal entities, LLCs, individual entrepreneurs, representative offices of foreign companies), one way or another connected with the construction industry and operating in Russia, are required to join the SRO (self-regulatory organization) in order to obtain permits for their activities (construction, design , exploratory).

Types of work for which SRO approval is required:

• ventilation and heating
• installation of windows and doors
• dangerous objects
• unique objects
• fire alarm
• electric installation work
• low-rise construction
• drilling work
• oil and gas activities
• subcontractors
• commissioning
• preparatory work
• geodetic works
• Finishing work
• building control
• developers-customers
• technical Supervision
• apartment renovation
• cadastral activity
• welding work
• installation work
• life support systems

According to Rosstat, in 2013 the number of private construction organizations in Russia exceeded 200,000. All of them are required by law to join SROs. At the same time, the number of construction SROs is 277, design - 194, and survey - 40 (as of November 2015).

The very procedure for joining the SRO includes many nuances, which affects the speed of obtaining the necessary admission. Preparation of a list of required documents, selection of a suitable SRO, etc. The procedure may take a considerable amount of time.

Companies such as "BEK" help construction organizations to obtain the necessary permission - by advising on the rules for filing and processing documents for a particular SRO, taking into account the types of work performed.

In this area, the advantages of Beck are:

• full legitimacy, since Beck is an accredited representative office,
• execution of work on registration and issuance of the SRO permit in time,
• cooperation with 12 SROs throughout Russia,
• keeping company information confidential.

Moreover, a characteristic feature of working with SROs is the automatic inclusion of all established clients in the client base. Thus, it is possible to confidently predict next year's income at the level of 25% of the previous year's income only due to the extension of SRO permits and other related services. At the same time, the increased customer network will become an independent tool for attracting customers.

This situation leads to a constant increase in profitability at consistently low costs.

What is an ISO certificate?

In addition to working with SROs, BEC specializes in issuing ISO certificates. Despite the fact that these certificates are not mandatory, they are still in demand by an even greater number of organizations and companies. It should be noted that the presence of these certificates in an organization is a sign of good taste, but what is most in demand among enterprises is that it provides a number of advantages.

For example, ISO 9001 certification is required for companies that:

• plan to enter the foreign market with their products,
• plans to attract foreign investment,
• plan to take part in government tenders,
• plan to take part in the competition for the supply of products to large corporations operating in the international market.
• etc.

The presence in the organization of another certificate - ISO 14001 - provides the following benefits:

• advantage and priority in tenders and tenders for supplies,
• possibility to conclude an insurance contract at a minimum interest rate,
• simplifies obtaining a number of licenses and permits,
• the opportunity to enter foreign markets with their products.

The procedures for obtaining ISO certificates by organizations on their own can require a significant waste of time and labor resources, while intermediaries in obtaining such certificates, such as BEK, with their own certification centers and a contract with a research center, significantly reduce the cost of obtaining the necessary certificates. Due to this, law firms for issuing certificates and permits for SROs are in demand among the target audience in the face of organizations engaged in the construction industry and not only.

5. How to start a business

Production plan

The need for minimal cosmetic repairs is justified by the fact that the appearance, interior of the office says a lot about the success of the enterprise. The office should be neat and beautiful. However, the excessive cost of repairing the premises is not appropriate. Savings shouldn't be intimidating.

Office furniture and appliances can also be a savings item. For example, desktops, armchairs, cabinets, etc. can be purchased in stores designed for the mass buyer (IKEA), and computers and office equipment can be purchased at a price below the average market (second-hand), since there are no special requirements for the parameters of this equipment.

However, at the initial stage, renting a separate office is not at all necessary. The peculiarity of starting a business for issuing certificates and permits for SROs lies in the minimum requirements and the relative ease of doing business.
