The paper contains basic information on the relationship between the contractor and the client as introduced by the new Civil Code. Firstly, it points to a fundamental difference in the concept of ownership of land and buildings which will not be, unlike the current state, separate. Yet the law allows exceptions to this rule, which are briefly explained in the article.
The main part of the text deals with the issue that is most pressing in construction of buildings. It is the responsibility for the quality of the work or project documentation. The paper deals with the obligation of a client to accept work in stages, addressing liability for latent defects, acceptance of the finished with reservation of latent defects and etc. In this context it should not be overlooked, that the general liable for defective work are together the contractor, subcontractors, maker of the documentation and construction supervisor. These entities may waive liability only if they demonstrate that they did not cause the defect themselves.

The article describes Castle Czech Šternberk and location NKP Castle Czech Šternberk, current condition of the property, the current state government Castle Providing guides, souvenirs sourcing, arranging catering, rent parts of the castle, SW Support Facility management at the castle, SWOT analysis Castle Czech Šternberk a description of the weaknesses of the castle.

Application of the burning lime for masonry is known from the eldest ages. In history was empirically discovered, the properties of lime putties and mortars made from it can be modified adding various additives. Inorganic additives with latent hydraulic activity (natural pozzolana, thermal modified rocks) or organic additives (proteins, carbohydrates, organic acids as fruit juices etc.) were used. Beneficial influences of some additives were proven by contemporary science. Application of other additives seemed irrational from present point of view. The aim of this work was determined the influence of some historical additives on lime putties and mortar properties.

The weakest part of concrete high-rise block are their envelopes, so most of regenerations are dealing with reconstruction of existing envelopes. It related of the replacement of window openings, the installation of additional contact thermal insulation or modifications of projecting structures, including loggia glazing and, last but not least, changes in the colour shading of the surface façade layer. These adjustments can improve energy efficiency of the building, but secondary negative effects on the interior environment in terms of the daylight level must also be considered. In this study we tried to take account of both width and shape of jamb of the window with taking into account the effect daylight inside the room.

This article describes the pumping subsidy programs in the Czech Republic and EU divided on the subsidy programs of the Czech Republic, Emergency Programme, the preservation of architectural heritage, Program restoration of movable cultural monuments, Fond support restoration of cultural monuments, difficulties come from the EU, historic buildings and their restoration and permanently sustainable development.

The paper is concerned with some selected defects and failures of timber structures and their rehabilitation. The paper summarises some conclusions from the construction and real behaviour of selected timber systems. Due to the fact that their load-carrying capacity and deflections are considerably affected by the load-carrying capacity of the joints, it was de-sirable to verify the influence of structural design of fasteners and connectors on the over-all behaviour of structural systems. Findings from behaviour of structures after their reha-bilitation are crucial for further research into real behaviour of timber structures.

The article describes what a National Heritage Institute, its scope, location of sites and activities. The following are types of divided heritage protection, (cultural monument, national monument, conservation). In conclusion, described the law on state conservation), obligations for owners and likes the cultural monuments.

The term “ancillary materials” covers a wide range of products (mouldings, profiles etc.) which significantly influence the overall quality of works. As legislation normally does not require any verification of performance and no relevant standards exist, verification and declaration of performance is usually omitted. In reaction to that, we have specified characteristics and verification methods for adequate and consistent verification of relevant characteristics in the framework of voluntary certification.

This paper describes the experience gained in planning, design and implementation of rehabilitation reinforced concrete structure, which is formed in the lower part of the reinforced concrete skeleton, from 3.NP T06B wall system with regard to the loading of the next deck above.

The design and installation of building automation systems constitutes one of the essential parts of the system input peripherals - Sensor environmental variables. Market with sensors of environmental parameters in buildings, in comparison with the sensors industry some specific characteristics.

Energetics of structures in construction is a developing discipline that we nowadays encounter every day. Each structure rises and ends at its own life cycle period. In this article, the author evaluates an impact of the zoning plan and its studies on energetics of structures – lets save power from the beginning.

In relation with the implementation of the revised EU Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings are currently changing some of Czech legal regulations and new methodology for energy performance assessment is introduced . This article focuses on an example rating the standard family house with conventional solution of building envelope and technical systems, using the new evaluation method. For this object will be also an obligation to issue an energy performance certificate as required by the Consolidated Act No. 406/2000 Coll., as amended.

In the second half of the last century the village changes in terms of demographics. First, the outhouses lose their importance, later, the living houses got empty. At best, the homesteads are used for weekend recreation. As a result of these changes, and due to improper construction impacts the houses dilapidate. There is material destruction and creation of static structural failure of the house.

Cornice is a traditional architectural element that is unfortunately disappeared from the current buildings. It is often replaced by methods that do not fulfill their architectural or construction function adequately.

Prefabricated single-storied concrete assembly hall is roofed with prestressed lattice girders, skylights, purlins and roof slabs. Significant problems of a roof structure were found out. The method and results of examination and the principles of reconstruction are described.

In connection with the implementation of the revised European Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings, certain legislative provisions such as Decree No. 148/2007, Coll. Replaced by Decree No. 78/2013, Coll. are currently amending. This article is focused on the changes associated with the energy certification of buildings, the "ENB", from the perspective of changes in the evaluation ENB.

This paper describes an investigation of historical timber members of roof structure at Masaryk railway station in Prague. In the paper is also presented an experiment, which deals with the influence of mechanical damage to timber members in the interpretation of the results of non-destructive measurement.

This paper deals with methods for determining the reliability of historical wooden structures and tries to outline the progress and shift in the methods used, problems or gaps in knowledge and research needs associated with this activity.

To calculate the fastening plan of mechanically fastened waterproofing roof sheet (MEFAWAME) it is necessary in addition to the correct wind suction procedure also determine by the corresponding way the resistance (allowable stress) of the fasten system.

Wood-destroying insects is one of the biological wood pests. Attacks the wood material, both individually and also in parallel with other decaying biological pests. Knowledge of principles for the design and implementation of a hot air disposal of wood-destroying insects is necessary for the reconstruction of historic buildings. Carefull consider from a conceptual point of view is necessary for the design for redevelopment of wooden elements affected by wood-destroying insects.
