Changes to the procedure for state examination of design documentation, approved by the Government Resolution, came into force on September 1, 2025. The new regulations will reduce the administrative burden on developers and speed up the implementation of investment and construction projects. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The government continues its systematic work to eliminate excessive administrative barriers in the construction industry. The decisions made make it possible to simplify the procedure for passing state examination, make it more transparent and reduce the time frame for project implementation. For developers, the provision of seven types of documents is eliminated, which will reduce the burden on businesses and speed up the receipt of permits. This is another step in improving the business climate in the construction industry. Improving the regulatory framework in the construction sector is an important part of the work to accelerate the pace of housing construction and improve the quality of the construction industry," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that it became possible to make changes to the application for state examination and eliminate technical errors in the conclusions of the state examination. The procedure for additional extension of the examination deadlines has also been optimized.

At the same time, the list of registry information available free of charge on the Internet for all interested parties is being expanded.

Also, from September 1, a government decree came into force that sets the rules for the conservation of construction projects. It is carried out to suspend construction work for more than six months.

Decisions on the conservation of capital construction projects of state (municipal) property, the construction or reconstruction of which is carried out in whole or in part at the expense of the federal budget, will be made by the Government of Russia, state property of a subject – by the highest executive bodies of the subjects, and municipal property – by local administrations.

For private properties, the previous procedure remains in place – decisions are made by the developer.
