Modelling Legal Risk Management in the Design of High-Rise Buildings within Transport Interchange Hubs

This article addresses legal risk management at the design stage of high-rise buildings that form part of transport interchange hubs (TIHs) in Moscow. The relevance of the study stems from the increasing complexity of architectural and structural design solutions for such facilities and the tightening requirements for state expert review of project documentation. The aim of the work is to develop a model for forecasting and minimising legal risks arising during the approval of high-rise building projects within TIHs. The research methodology is based on a systematic analysis of the regulatory framework, statistical processing of expert review conclusions, and simulation modelling of the interaction processes among participants in investment and construction projects. The study establishes a quantitative relationship between the complexity of a building’s structural system (frame, braced, core, and outrigger) and the intensity of expert queries, which enabled the construction of a probability matrix for predicting negative conclusions from the Moscow State Expert Review authority. A structural-functional model of legal support management is proposed, integrating design and legal activities. The scientific novelty lies in establishing the correlation between structural solution and legal risk, and in creating tools for incorporating this correlation at the early stages of design. The practical significance of the work consists in the possibility of reducing the timelines and costs of high-rise transport infrastructure projects through proactive risk management.
