Abstract: The subject of this research is the regulatory relations arising in the context of reduction of construction time as a branch of material production, which carries out the erection and reconstruction of buildings and structures of various designation. The object of this research is the construction sector overall; enterprises of different forms of property that functions in the investment and construction sector; organizational-legal forms of interaction between the actors of investment and construction process; state regulation in the sphere of capital construction. The goal of this work lies in solution of the key problems of regulating the construction terms: estimation of time and allocation of resources. The author examines the contractual models for the implementation of investment projects; factors that improve efficiency; technical and technological factors; organizational and economic factors; classification of construction works; role of general labor in modern industrial sectors; reduction of construction time; optimization of organizational issues; modern contact models; traditional model of organizing organization (M-1); EPC-contract model (M-2) ; construction based on EPC(M)- contract (M-3); factors that contribute to reduction of construction time due to the use of contractual models. Special attention is given to the causes and reserves for reduction of construction time in the instance of using various contractual models. The scientific novelty is determined by lack of knowledge on the questions of improvement, theoretical, experimental and technical-economic substantiation of technological processes, methods and forms of organizing construction and its production capacities with regards to reduction of construction time. The importance of this work for the national economy consists in studying the theory and practice of reducing construction time and finding solutions to scientific and technical problems of construction via development and creation of competitive construction technologies and organizational-technological solutions, which would intensity the processes of erection, reconstruction and modernization of buildings while reducing labor, material-technical, fuel and energy resources.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the regulatory relations arising in the process of reducing construction period as a branch of material production that carries out the erection and reconstruction of buildings and structures of different purposes. The object of this research is the construction sector as a whole; enterprises of various forms of ownership that operate within the investment and construction sector; organizational-legal relations between the parties to the investment and construction process; state regulation in the sphere of capital construction. The aim goal is to examine the key issues in regulating construction period; assess duration of the processes and allocation resources. The author focused on such aspects of the topic as the restricted (recommended) application of building regulations; actualization of the provisions of building regulations with regards to housing construction; development of the time or network schedules for building and construction works; enlarged construction costs standards; factors of variation of the construction period. Special attention is given to the rational variants of organizing the construction process for changing the normative duration based on the made decisions. The scientific novelty is defined by lack of knowledge on the questions of improvement, theoretical, experimental and technical-economic substantiation of technological processes, methods and forms of organizing construction and its production capacity with regards to the problems of reducing construction period. The importance of this work for the national economy lies in studying the theory and practice of reducing construction period, and seeking solutions for the scientific and technical problems of construction through development and creation of the competitive construction technologies and organizational-technological solutions that ensure intensification of the processes of erection, reconstruction, and modernization of buildings and structures while reducing labor, material-technical, fuel and energy resources.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the management relations that arise in the process of reducing construction time as a branch of material production that carries out erection and reconstruction of buildings and structures for various designation. The object of this research is the construction sector as a whole; enterprises of various forms of ownership that function in the investment and construction sphere; organizational-legal forms of relations between the parties to investment and construction process; state regulation in the area of capital construction. The purpose goal of this work consists in examination of national experience in solving the key issues of managing construction period: estimation of time and allocation of resources. Detailed analysis is conducted on such aspects of the topic as the economic component of management impact upon realization of a construction project; critical factors the internal and external environment of construction process and their causes; application of mathematical methods that calculate the likelihood of external influence based on evaluation of the impact of environmental factors; innovative component in project management. The scientific novelty is define by insufficient coverage of the questions of improvement, theoretical, experimental and feasibility study of technological processes, methods and forms of construction management along with its production capacity with regards to the problems of reducing construction time.
The following results were obtained:


Assessment of the level of prior studies of the problem of reducing construction time for determination of promising directions for further scientific research;


Description is provided to the methodology of managerial impact upon realization of a construction project, including the key factors, stages, and outcome;


Demarcation the concepts of actual, estimated and normative construction time is conducted;


Evaluation is given to project management pertinent to objective establishment of construction time;


 The role and place of innovation component and planning in project management are revealed;


Technical and technological methods for optimization of construction projects are examined;


The article discusses the alternatives of reduction of time allotted for construction, as well as outlines the vectors for solution the problem of optimization of construction time.

Abstract: The subject of this research is administrative relations that arise in the process of reducing the construction time as a branch of material production that is carrying out erection of buildings and reconstruction of structures of various designation. The object of this research is the construction complex as a whole; companies of various corporate structure functioning on the investment-construction sector; organizational legal forms of interaction between the parties to the investment-construction process; state regulation in the sphere of major construction. The goal of this article consists in examination of foreign experience in resolution of primary issues with regards to construction time management: assessment of the duration of processes and allocation of resources. The author explores such aspects of the topic as the economic component of administrative impact upon the implementation of a construction project; parameters of project management (time, quality, and cost); modern time management techniques; business process reengineering; principles of cross-team building. The scientific novelty is defined by the insufficient study of the questions of improvement, theoretical, experimental and feasibility study of technological processes, methods and forms of construction planning and its production facilities in the context of reducing the construction time. The value of this work for the national economy consists in studying the theory and practice of reducing the construction time and searching for solutions of scientific and technical problems of construction by means of development and creation of the competitive construction technologies, as well as organizational and technological decisions. The following results were achieved: determination of the key parameters of project management (time, quality, and cost); analysis of cost increase of the project depending on usage of the strategies for reducing production schedule; examination and visualization of development strategies for increasing competitiveness of the companies in complex business, as well as assessment of the level of customer satisfaction according to the system of basic criteria. The author passes an original opinion on the effectiveness of time reduction techniques.

Abstract: The object of the research is the process of the performance of obligations to calculate taxes and levies. The subject of the research is the procedural, organisational and methodological features of studying the process of the performance of obligations to calculate taxes and levies in the tax and criminal process. The authors focus on the following aspects of the topic: 1. peculiarities of the legal classification of tax offences, their documentation and proof in the process of tax examinations; 2. peculiarities of the implementation of the presumption of innocence principle in the tax and criminal process of tax examinations; 3. application of the tax procedure results when classifying tax offences based on the articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation that set forth responsibility for the avoidance of payment of taxes and levies. The authors pay special attention to harmonization of approaches used by the tax authorities and the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation to studying the process of the performance of obligations to calculate taxes and levies. In the course of their research the authors have applied such research methods as empirical research, economic statistics, abstract logic, generalisation and systems approach that has allowed to carry out an in-depth analysis of the interaction between tax authorities and internal affairs agencies. The authors of the article examine peculiarities of the implementation of the presumption of innocence principle in the tax and criminal process of tax inspections. They also provide a detailed rationale of the opportunity to use the tax procedure results to classify tax offences according to the articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation that set forth responsibility for the avoidance of the payment of taxes and levies. For the first time in the academic literature the authors prove the opportunity to harmonize approaches that are used by the tax authorities and the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation to studying the process of the performance of obligations to calculate taxes and levies.
