What is SNiP and why is it needed?

In everyday life, few met with such an abbreviation as SNiP, and this is not surprising, because the meaning of this reduction is known only to those people who are familiar with the construction sphere. The letter “C” means “construction”, the letter “H” means “norms”, and the letter “P” means “Rules”, and together – building codes and rules. This document covers all the nuances of construction, starting from the project itself and ending with the construction of the house. This also includes water systems and power supply, sewage and heating.

In addition, SNiPs were created and approved by the legislation, which cover various calculations for the construction of buildings, laying roads, creating bridges, etc. D. There are also SNiPs for working with various soils, SNiPs in sound insulation and others. For example, SNiP 2.07.01-89 describes the rules for the planning and development of urban and rural settlements.

Unfortunately, in our time there are not very qualified specialists who want to quickly receive payment of their services, but at the same time unfairly relate to their implementation. They neglect the snaps. In the case when the new building was not built in accordance with the norms, microcracks may soon appear on it, which quickly stop into huge cracks. In addition, the house can simply sore very much, and at the same time, heating batteries are cracking. In the worst version, the building will collapse and this will entail numerous sacrifices.

It’s no secret that construction is one of the most ancient human activities. As for our state, construction is also accompanied by severe weather. The heating season in Russia lasts more than six months. In this regard, the exploitation of residential buildings is accompanied by considerable costs, especially for their heating.

During the Soviet Union, residential buildings in Russia were built from two types of materials: panels from expanded clay concrete and brick. The thickness of the panel according to those norms was thirty centimeters, as for the walls of brick, their thickness was a little more than half a meter. Based on this, we can say that the heat was enough for everyone. Maybe someone was slightly cool in the winter, but still people calmly experienced this period. In addition, the heating system worked perfectly. However, it is worth noting that in the USSR, the state was almost large of the heating costs.

If you consider European countries, then everything is paid by the owner of the house in them. After the 70s, the cost of oil increased sharply, almost all European countries stopped building too costly houses that had a low heat insulation indicator.
