2005-2006 Studied in Orenburg State University(3d, 4th, 5th, 6th semester, passed practice courses in Orenburg Region Gas Company “OBL Gas” – Description of courses: Development of working documentation of gas supply between facilities, development of calculation of gas supply process).

2006-2007 Studied in Vitus Bering (Denmark) (5th, 7th semester)

2007 - Graduated from Vitus Bering University Horsens, Denmark on specialty: “Bachelor in architectural technology and construction management”.

2007-2008 Studied in Master program: “Master Degree in European Construction” (Universidad de Cantabria, VIA University):

2007 October, November, December – Studied in Santander, Cantabria, Spain (Universidad de Cantabria). Main subjects: Sustainable and environmental friendly buildings, productions, management of projects, calculation of cost of the projects, calculation of profit of the project, management of construction site.

In the end of December I had presentation of my dissertation “Sustainable House in Europe”. Description of dissertation: Sustainable and environmental friendly technologies in the buildings and in production companies.

2008 January, February, March – Studied in Horsens, Denmark (VIA University). During this period I made calculation of the budget of project in UK. Project was consist from calculation of cost of sustainable equipment inside the buildings, installation of water, energy supply (Recycle of waste water, Collection of rain water, Collection and transformation of solar energy to electricity in case of using solar panels), calculation of the energy, calculation of the costs of materials(recycle materials).

2008 April, May, June, July, August, September – I did my own dissertation. It was consist from following topics:

2)  Indoor climate/environmental conditions.

Heat loss calculation of sustainable building, calculation of comfortable conditions of the building, which is made from recycle materials.

3)  Research of sustainable energy solutions for building.

Calculation of the cost of energy equipment of sustainable building and period of cost recoveryof this equipment.

Proposed Research Methods:

The method of research will consist in checking up of properties of recycle materials, to check heat engineering substantiation of outside elements of the building made from recycle materials. To know what is the working period of the elements made from sustainable materials of the building.

To calculate and pick up the type of constructions which has to pass all norms and rules for the city Horsens (Denmark).To draw the graphic of dependences of the thickness of construction from temperature inside of thickness of construction, from the maximal elasticity of water steams in thicknesses of outside element, from the valid elasticity of water steams in thickness of outside element.

Contracts with contractors are amended for the following reasons:

- Revision of working documentation;

- Technology of construction process (impossibility to perform construction & erection works without preparatory or other works impeding contract works, which may not be provided in the contract);

- Works during wintertime are not provided in the contract;

- Arising of necessity of additional works.

Amendments shall be introduced into the contract as shortly as possible after their appearance. These amendments should be first of all coordinated with Capital Construction and Design Depts.

Drawings with design revisions should be immediately handed over to contractor, as well as to Capital Construction Dept, Costing Dept and Planning and Procurement Dept. this will help to promptly calculate the cost of contract cost increase/reduction. This will also help to timely purchase additional materials.

Contracts with contractors should provide that after submitting changes, Contractor should within 3-5 days coordinated price increase with DesignKomplect based on unit prices specified in the contract. That should be followed by an addendum with Contractor (new price and new date of work completion, if changes substantially increase construction period).

Accounting Dept of DesignKomplect should also timely hand over equipment/materials to contractors for continuous cycle of construction & erection works.

Signing of КS-2, КS-3 forms and further payment on them should be based on contract and scopes, prices specified therein.

All acts on ‘hidden scopes’ should be signed by the Customer and handed over to Capital Construction Dept, as well as Costing Dept for preparing КS-2, КS-3 forms.

All revisions in working documentation should be made, as far as possible, towards reduction of contract cost.

The contract should stipulate conditions of work during wintertime, as well as their appreciation coefficient (if any).

Necessity of additional works should be confirmed by Capital Construction Dept, and data on scopes of additional works should be immediately given to Costing Dept for calculation of work cost. Thereafter the data should be given to Planning and Procurement and Legal Depts for signing of addendum with contractor.

Final version of contract should be translated into English by Translation Dept and submitted to DesignKomplect Management.

Daily performance of each type of works by each contractor should be recorded by technical supervision service of Capital Construction Dept, and given to Planning Dept for making a report to the Management on performed work.
