Abstract

The article examines the issue of improving the management of development construction projects based on an integrated approach to their life cycle management. It is substantiated that the traditional practice of fragmented management of individual stages developmentt, design, construction and operation does not ensure the achievement of the developer’s long-term goals, leads to an increase in total life cycle costs, increased risks and loss of investment attractiveness of real estate objects.The purpose of the article is to substantiate an integrated approach to life cycle management of a development construction project, which ensures the coordination of management decisions at all key stages of project implementation, taking into account the requirements of further operation. Within the framework of the study, the development project is considered as an integrated socio-economic and technical-management system focused on the formation of the long-term value of a real estate asset.The article analyzes modern scientific approaches to the management of the life cycle of construction objects, the role of the developer as an integrator of processes and stakeholders, as well as the importance of early involvement of the facility management function in the process of making management decisions. It is proven that taking into account operational requirements at the concept and design stages allows optimizing the cost of the life cycle, improving the quality of design and construction solutions, ensuring maintainability, energy efficiency and adaptability of the object to changing market conditions.Particular attention is paid to the justification of the integration of building information modeling (BIM), life cycle cost analysis approaches and facility management principles into a single development project management system. A conceptual vision of integrated management is proposed, aimed at ensuring managerial and information continuity between the stages of the life cycle of a real estate object.The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the possibility of their use by development companies to increase the efficiency of investment decisions, reduce operating costs and form competitive, sustainable and long-term attractive construction projects.
