The pilot project for the introduction of QR codes started at seven construction sites in Moscow

2021: QR Code Implementation Pilot

The Department of Urban Planning Policy of the City of Moscow, together with the Office of the Mayor and the Government of Moscow and the Department of Information Technology of the City of Moscow, began piloting a service that will allow citizens to receive information about the progress of construction of the capital construction facility and its 3D visualization using QR codes on information boards and fences of construction sites. This was announced by the DIT of Moscow on November 16, 2021.

The capital's facilities under construction are equipped with stationary information boards, the updating of information on which requires additional temporary and financial resources. Due to the peculiarities of the installation of the design, citizens do not always have convenient access to the posted data. At the same time, residents are interested to know what will be built in their area, what the facility will look like after completion of construction and in what time frame it will be introduced.

The implementation of a mechanism to inform residents about the progress of construction using QR codes will solve this problem. Thanks to the project, anyone will have access to detailed and up-to-date information about the object under construction. In order to use the service, a resident needs to put a smartphone camera on a QR code located on an information board or branded fence near the construction site, click the link and wait for the page to load.

As a result, all relevant information about the object will appear in front of the user: a 3D model of the future building, a unique identifier of the object, information about the participants in the construction, functional purpose, information about the construction progress, technical and economic indicators, the timing of work and commissioning. Online data will be uploaded from the Digital Passport of the capital construction facility, one of the main components of the Digital Interaction Platform being developed.

The implementation of this project was made possible thanks to the digitalization of the entire construction industry in Moscow and the introduction of a digital passport for capital construction facilities. This service will allow using these solutions not only to developers, but also to residents of the capital: they will be able to get detailed and visual information about what objects will appear in their area, "said Eduard Lysenko, Minister of the Government of Moscow, head of the Information Technology Department.

According to the head of the Department of Urban Planning Policy of Moscow Sergey Levkin, the pilot launch of the project is carried out at seven construction sites in Moscow. The list of facilities includes multi-apartment residential buildings, including those under construction as part of the Housing Renovation Program, as well as a healthcare facility and a hotel. Among them are "program" houses at three addresses: Pyotr Alekseev Street, 12; Open highway, 30 and Shipbuilding street, 15. In addition, "smart" information boards are installed on the buildings of the infectious medical and diagnostic complex on the territory of the GBUZ "IKB No. 1 DZM" on Volokolamsk highway, 63; hotel complex on Varvarka and apartments "Novodanilovskaya 8" on Warsaw highway, possession 9/1, as well as in New Moscow in the settlement Ryazanovskoye on the residential complex "Ostafyevo."

Following the results of the pilot project, a decision will be made on the further application of QR codes at all construction sites of the city. The introduction of this service will allow demonstrating to residents and guests of the city how the appearance of the usual areas of the capital will change in the near future, "concluded Sergey Levkin.
