Summary: The building legislation is a set of rules regulating building activities in all fields of construction industry. This legislation also includes an autonomous legislation, usually developed by both economic and non-economic subjects, which is applied taking into account the real needs of participants in the construction process. Our legislation is currently characterized by considerable state influence while, on the other hand, there is no autonomous legislation - although such legislation is highly developed in western countries. As we are currently introducing market mechanisms and principles of free competition among various forms of ownership in our wish to adopt practices of developed European countries, it is indispensable to reduce the pressure of state legislation and free the initiative of participants in the construction process by enabling them to define their relationships as they consider appropriate, i.e. through autonomous legislation of their own choosing. In that respect, an autonomous legislation must be developed and implemented in our country.

Keywords: construction industry, autonomous legislation

Research goals: The introduction of market economy, equality of all forms of ownership, liberation and stimulation of entrepreneurship, introduction of profit as a principal motivating category, foreign-capital investment, establishment of proper links with Europe, and other changes currently taking place in our country, also call for radical changes in the relationship among participants in construction activities. These changes, based on the model from developed west-European countries, will liberate the building process from over-regulation and excessive state influence. The space freed in such a way will be filled by an autonomous legislation, to be prepared according to real needs of participants in the construction process. In that respect, it is of utmost significance to develop appropriate models for contracts, bidding documents, standard specifications, bills of quantities and secondary processes in construction industry, as well as to establish technical conditions for building individual types of structures, planning methods, standards for appropriate technical documents, work norms and material consumption norms, etc. The main objective of this research is to develop and implement such models.
