The terms of implementation of the latest achieved scientific and technical progress significantly depend on the level of development of the construction industry itself and the pace of construction. The development of production technology and technical progress in all branches of the national economy are closely related to the constructive improvement of construction facilities. Only in new, rationally built structures can the perfection of technological processes in all branches of the economy be fully manifested.
The main task of the complex is the creation and renewal of the fixed assets of the national economy. The role of the construction complex in the national economy is very significant. In Ukraine, the share of construction alone in GDP is 8%. The complex covers almost 10% of all employees in the national economy; 6% of them are in construction. Among the industries that serve the construction complex, first of all, it is necessary to mention heavy machinery, whose enterprises produce almost 2 thousand Machines, mechanisms, equipment for industrial, housing, road construction, land reclamation, communal services, as well as mining and production of building materials, among them are excavators, bulldozers, rollers, pipelayers, construction cranes, etc. This industry originated in Ukraine in the 20s. The second most important industry serving the complex is design and research. There are more than 300 such organizations on the territory of Ukraine. Without production of this industry - design and estimate documentation - construction is impossible.
The level of development of the territory on which the construction of construction sites is carried out has a great influence on the industry specialization of construction organizations, its differences and peculiarities. In underdeveloped areas, the industry structure is less pronounced than in developed areas. Construction organizations that are beginning to develop the territory, except for the construction of basic industrial, transport or energy facilities, are forced to engage in the construction of infrastructure facilities. These are residential buildings, social, cultural and educational institutions, health care and communal services.
