The article examines the principles of configuring agent interactions within the labor environment of IT projects as a tool for enhancing the efficiency of team management. The agent-based interaction model makes it possible to consider each team member as an autonomous agent capable of making decisions, adapting behavior to the task context, and interacting with other elements of the system within a distributed environment.</em></p> <p><em>Conceptual foundations have been developed for constructing the architecture of agent interactions, based on the principles of cognitive exchange, communicative coherence, flexible role distribution, and multilevel task management. It is determined that the key factor in the effectiveness of such interactions is the balance between agent autonomy and centralized process coordination. A systematic classification of agent configuration types is proposed: hierarchical, decentralized, hybrid, and cognitively adaptive, which differ in the level of information connectivity and the system’s response speed.</em></p> <p><em>The study also investigates the impact of cognitive factors on the dynamics of interactions between agents, such as trust, intellectual compatibility, role specialization, and the ability for collective learning. A model for assessing the effectiveness of agent interaction is proposed, using indicators of performance, informational transparency, decision synchronization level, and team adaptability index. It is established that the configuration of agent connections directly determines the speed of decision-making, the coherence of actions, and the level of project innovation activity.</em></p> <p><em>The results of the study have practical significance for building multi-agent IT team management systems, developing algorithms for adaptive resource allocation, and creating cognitive project management dashboards. The proposed principles can be used to optimize communication processes, reduce the risk of conflicts, and enhance the resilience of organizational structures under conditions of high labor environment complexity.</em></p> Serhiy DANILOV Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 3 13 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).3-13 Digital tools for monitoring, modeling, and supporting the life cycle of energy-adapted building solutions https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348040 <p><em>This paper examines modern digital tools that facilitate the management of the life cycle of energy-efficient buildings. It describes how the integration of sensor systems, cloud services, analytical platforms, and digital twins creates a unified management system that enables buildings to autonomously respond to environmental changes. Such solutions ensure continuous information exchange across all stages </em>–<em> from design to operation </em>–<em> allowing for timely detection of deviations, planning of maintenance activities, and forecasting of energy consumption.</em></p> <p><em>A model is proposed that integrates three core processes </em>–<em> monitoring, modeling, and digital support. Monitoring enables real-time tracking of technical systems, recording of indoor climate indicators, energy consumption levels, temperature, humidity, and equipment performance. Modeling allows the analysis of collected data, the development of forecasts, evaluation of energy efficiency solutions, and the creation of energy consumption scenarios that account for external factors. Digital support, in turn, ensures a continuous connection between the physical building and its virtual counterpart </em>–<em> the digital twin, which provides opportunities for what-if analysis and data-driven decision-making based on accurate simulations.</em></p> <p><em>Particular emphasis is placed on the advantages of analytical software such as Power BI, Tableau, and Qlik, which enable data integration from multiple sources, the creation of interactive control dashboards, and the visualization of complex processes in a clear and accessible format for both managers and technical specialists. Based on these tools, a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) system has been developed, encompassing energy, technical, economic, and environmental dimensions of building performance.</em></p> <p><em>The use of digital technologies makes it possible to transition from reactive to proactive management, where the system not only responds to events but also anticipates them. This approach helps reduce energy costs, extend equipment life cycles, enhance user comfort, and ensure the stable operation of buildings. Furthermore, it contributes to shaping a new philosophy of construction management focused on sustainability, energy conservation, and effective interaction between humans, technology, and the environment.</em> <em>Digital tools thus become not merely instruments of automation but the foundation of intelligent building management in the digital age.</em></p> Denis SOBOL Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 14 27 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).14-27 Tools for multi-criteria decision optimization in multiproject management https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348041 <p><em>In today’s highly dynamic business environment and increasingly complex management processes, construction and engineering companies face the challenge of making decisions that must account for a wide range of interrelated criteria. Traditional approaches focused on a single objective – such as minimizing costs or shortening project durations – are becoming ineffective in complex multiproject systems, where each managerial decision has a multidimensional impact on overall performance.</em></p> <p><em>Multi-criteria optimization provides a scientifically grounded framework for reconciling conflicting objectives by combining the flexibility of analytical methods with the precision of mathematical modeling. The integration of Pareto optimality principles, compromise programming, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and evolutionary algorithms such as NSGA-II enables the generation of multiple alternative decision options that take into account both short-term operational needs and long-term strategic priorities of an organization.</em></p> <p><em>The practical application of multi-criteria models in multiproject management contributes to the automation of project coordination processes, rational allocation of resources, and reduction of conflicts within corporate ecosystems based on ERP and PPM platforms. Such systems form the foundation for flexible portfolio management, where each project element is integrated into a unified information and analytical space.</em></p> <p><em>The incorporation of cognitive analytics, machine learning, and fuzzy logic enhances the adaptability of management systems and their ability to respond effectively to environmental uncertainty. Multi-criteria optimization emerges as a core tool for building next-generation analytical management models that not only improve the accuracy and resilience of managerial decisions but also lay the groundwork for a transition toward predictive and analytical management in modern multiproject environments.</em></p> Miroslav POLZIKOV Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 28 41 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).28-41 Evolution of scientific approaches to detecting the causes of destructive processes within the organizational and technological system of construction https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348042 <p><em>Construction is one of the most complex and risky areas of economic activity, where numerous technological, organizational, economic and social factors are combined. In such conditions, the occurrence of destructive processes is inevitable, but the effectiveness of the industry depends on the ability to detect, analyze and neutralize them in a timely manner. Destructive phenomena manifest themselves in the form of planning failures, incoherence of participants' actions, overspending of resources, technological violations and a decrease in the quality of the final result. Their nature is systemic, which requires an interdisciplinary approach to diagnostics and management. Scientific approaches to the study of the causes of destruction in construction production have undergone significant evolution </em>–<em> from intuitive and descriptive methods to analytical and digitally-oriented management models. If in the past attention was paid mainly to economic and technical aspects of efficiency, now the issues of system management of stability, adaptability and digital interaction of components of the organizational and technological structure are gaining increasing importance. Digitalization technologies play a significant role in the development of modern methods of analyzing destructive processes </em>–<em> in particular, BIM, ERP, CRM and Big Data Analytics systems. They create the opportunity not only to record deviations, but also to predict their occurrence by analyzing accumulated data in real time. Static models have been replaced by cognitive and analytical systems capable of self-learning and adaptation, which significantly increases the accuracy of management decisions. The study focuses on the need to transition from reactive strategies to predictive and analytical management, when the causes of destruction are determined not after the fact, but in the process of forming management decisions. It was found that the key factors of destructive processes are insufficient integration of information systems, organizational inertia, lack of managerial competencies and the absence of a unified methodology for assessing the sustainability of production systems. A conceptual model is proposed in which construction production is considered as an open system that constantly interacts with a dynamic external environment. This approach allows classifying destructions by their source of origin </em>–<em> technological, economic, social or informational </em>–<em> and determining the nature of the relationships between them.</em></p> Mykhailo MALYKHIN Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 42 51 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).42-51 Formation and evaluation of the effectiveness of an adaptive enterprise investment management system https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348043 <p><em>Modern economic conditions require enterprises to implement new management models capable of ensuring efficiency, flexibility, and resilience to dynamic changes in the market environment. One of the most promising directions in this context is the development of an adaptive investment management system that integrates strategic, analytical, financial, and digital components into a single, cohesive architecture. The article provides a theoretical and practical justification for the concept of building such a system, outlining its operational principles, structural levels, and mechanisms for adapting to external and internal transformations.</em></p> <p><em>The adaptive system is viewed as an evolutionary management structure capable of self-learning and adjusting its parameters in real time based on data analysis and predictive modeling. The core principles of its design include flexibility, integration, resilience, and technological advancement. The implementation of these principles ensures synchronization between an enterprise’s strategic goals and current economic conditions, minimizes risks, enhances investment efficiency, and promotes sustainable enterprise development.</em></p> <p><em>Particular attention is devoted to digital tools that serve as the technological foundation of the adaptive system, such as analytical platforms Power BI and Tableau, artificial intelligence, machine learning, Big Data, ERP, and BI analytics.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies establishes a new data management architecture, where design, technical, structural, and energy information are unified into a single intelligent system. This approach enables the automation of regulatory compliance verification, energy efficiency forecasting, and real-time decision-making processes.</em></p> <p><em>AI serves as a key analytical tool capable of processing large datasets from BIM models and identifying deviations from design or regulatory parameters. The use of machine learning algorithms allows for predicting building behavior under various operational scenarios, assessing the influence of climatic and structural factors, and proposing optimal architectural and technological solutions. As a result, a dynamic digital environment is formed, where artificial intelligence becomes the core of a self-learning management system, and the BIM model serves as its informational foundation.</em></p> <p><em>The use of the digital twin concept ensures a comprehensive representation of a building’s energy, technical, and spatial characteristics. This enables simulations, the analysis of design alternatives, energy loss calculations, and verification of compliance with state and international standards (DBN, ISO, EN). Such an approach provides architects, engineers, and facility managers with a powerful tool for making informed decisions based on real-world data.</em></p> <p><em>The combination of AI and BIM not only enhances energy efficiency but also fosters a transition to intelligent design, where the system can autonomously detect inefficiencies, adjust models, and recommend optimal structural parameters. This results in reduced time and financial costs, minimized design risks, and improved quality of architectural and construction documentation.</em></p> Mykola FEDORCHENKO Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 65 78 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).65-78 Engineering and structural solutions for enhancing the stability of reconstructed buildings https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348051 <p><em>The engineering and structural stability of reconstructed buildings determines the ability of their load-bearing systems to maintain equilibrium, shape, and functionality under various types of loads. During the reconstruction process, changes occur in the geometry, stiffness characteristics, and working conditions of structures, which necessitates a new approach to design and evaluation of their reliability. The influence of element modernization on the overall stability of the system makes it essential to analyze the stress–strain state, taking into account the interaction of materials, joints, and supports.</em></p> <p><em>A particularly important role is played by the combination of analytical and numerical calculation methods, which ensure precise identification of zones of critical stresses, deformations, and loss of equilibrium. The finite element method makes it possible to model complex spatial systems, including defects, openings, and strengthening zones. Analytical approaches – Hooke’s law, equilibrium equations, and Euler’s formulas – make it possible to assess the strength reserve and critical stability parameters for individual elements. This combination of methods forms the basis for a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of reconstruction measures.</em></p> <p><em>One of the key directions for improving stability is the strengthening of load-bearing elements. The use of steel reinforcement, jacketing, and composite materials allows for a significant increase in the load-bearing capacity of structures without dismantling or excessive increase in the building’s weight. Composites, such as carbon and basalt fibers, are characterized by high strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance, which ensures the durability of reconstructed structures. The application of such materials is particularly effective for historical or socially significant buildings, where minimal intervention in the existing structure is a critical requirement. The efficiency of different strengthening methods is evaluated through specific performance indicators – the ratio between the increase in load-bearing capacity and the cost. Comparative analysis confirms that composite systems demonstrate the highest technical results with long-term economic advantages. The combination of steel reinforcement with composite strengthening provides a balanced solution with optimal parameters of stability, cost, and technological complexity.</em></p> Timur KUZMIN Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 79 90 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).79-90 System of organization and functioning of mechanisms for ensuring the operational safety of buildings https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348052 <p><em>The system of organization and functioning of mechanisms for ensuring the operational safety of buildings is considered as an integrated multi-level structure that combines technical, analytical, informational, and managerial components. In modern conditions of urban development intensification and the increasing complexity of architectural and structural solutions, it is essential to shift from fragmented methods of technical inspection to comprehensive management of operational reliability. The foundation of this process lies in the creation of digital-analytical monitoring systems capable of continuous observation of structural conditions, risk identification, material degradation forecasting, and prevention of emergency situations.</em></p> <p><em>Operational safety of buildings is understood as the ability of a structure to maintain functionality, structural integrity, and user comfort throughout its entire life cycle. It encompasses technical stability, energy efficiency, resistance to external impacts, and adaptability to changes in the technogenic environment. The functioning of such a system is based on a multi-level architecture in which each level – from sensor monitoring to management decision-making – performs a specific function while remaining integrated into a unified information space.</em></p> <p><em>The system includes diagnostic, analytical, prognostic, managerial, and digital modules that together ensure a closed data processing cycle. Sensor units collect primary parameters of the technical condition, analytical modules perform their evaluation, prognostic modules model development scenarios, and managerial modules implement preventive measures. The interaction among these components determines the system’s efficiency in preventing technical failures.</em></p> <p><em>A key element of the concept is the notion of serviceability – a condition under which a building maintains its functionality without exceeding serviceability limit states (SLS). This concept is consistent with national and international standards, including EN 1990:2002 (Eurocode), ISO 13822:2010, and DBN V.1.2-14:2018. According to these documents, serviceability is evaluated not only by the strength and stability of structures but also by comfort, energy efficiency, vibration stability, and durability.</em></p> Oleksandr TYSLENKO Serhiy BYKOV Oleksandr KATIN Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 91 104 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).91-104 Conceptual principles of knowledge management in integrated systems for the implementation of construction projects https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348055 <p><em>Knowledge management is viewed as a strategic factor in ensuring the efficiency and innovativeness of construction projects in the modern dynamic environment. The information and cognitive potential of project teams becomes a key resource that determines the competitiveness, resilience, and adaptability of organizations. Unlike material resources, knowledge possesses a nonlinear nature</em> – <em>it is continuously renewed, enriched through participants’ interaction, and transformed as a result of the digitalization of management processes. The article substantiates the concept of an integrated approach to knowledge management, which ensures a continuous cycle of knowledge creation, accumulation, transfer, utilization, and renewal throughout the life cycle of a construction project.</em></p> <p><em>Knowledge is interpreted as a dynamic system of interaction among experience, information, and analytics. The role of digital platforms, BIM technologies, and cloud-based knowledge repositories is emphasized as essential tools for integrating knowledge flows among project participants.

The destruction of temples, monasteries, and sanctuaries leads not only to the loss of unique architectural forms but also disrupts the spiritual continuity of cultural identity. Architectural vulnerability under such conditions is considered a multifactorial process, in which physical, natural, social, and symbolic factors interact.</em></p> <p><em>Wars test not only the structural integrity of buildings but also the spiritual resilience of societies. The deliberate destruction of sacred sites becomes an act of cultural genocide aimed at erasing collective memory. Natural disasters, in turn, reveal the material aging of temples and the technological limitations of past eras, while technological threats</em> – <em>pollution, vibrations, and climate fluctuations</em> – <em>cause hidden yet continuous structural degradation. The study emphasizes that the preservation of sacred heritage has both material and spiritual dimensions. Physical restoration of temples is impossible without resacralization of the space</em> – <em>restoring its original meaning through community participation, ritual practices, and the revival of historical memory. Several analytical models for assessing architectural resilience are proposed, including an integral vulnerability index, an equation of the structural-semantic energy of a temple, and a model of spiritual regeneration.</em></p> <p><em>Particular attention is given to the role of digital technologies</em> – <em>3D scanning, laser photogrammetry, and digital twins</em> – <em>that make it possible to record the condition of sacred structures and create precise virtual replicas to preserve them in the event of destruction. Thus, digital representation becomes a new form of memory that extends the life of architecture in virtual space. Architectural vulnerability emerges not only as a characteristic of physical structure but also as an indicator of a society’s spiritual maturity. Where preservation occurs</em> – <em>even in digital form</em> – <em>culture demonstrates its responsibility and awareness of its historical continuity. The preservation of sacred architecture is, therefore, an act of spiritual resistance that affirms humanity’s dignity and its capacity for renewal despite destruction.</em></p> Valentyn HYRIA Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 118 131 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).118-131 Integration of digital technologies into the process of construction project management: analytical and informational dimensions https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348057 <p><em>The integration of digital technologies into the process of construction project management forms a new paradigm of planning, control, and decision-making in the industry. The development of digital platforms, artificial intelligence, IoT systems, ERP, and BIM technologies transforms classical static management models into dynamic, analytically oriented systems capable of responding to changes in real time. Digitalization ensures the creation of a continuous flow of information among all participants in the project cycle, providing conditions for automated rescheduling of works, resource optimization, and risk management.</em></p> <p><em>A key role in this process is played by intelligent platforms that implement the principle of reconfigurable planning.

From rigidly regulated normative systems, where time was viewed as a fixed constant, the construction industry has transitioned to integrated models that consider the multifactorial, uncertain, and stochastic nature of temporal processes. Early approaches were based on standardized indicators focused on unified conditions for performing work; however, practical experience demonstrated their limitations due to the underestimation of external influencing factors. With the advancement of analytical and digital technologies, duration began to be perceived as a dynamic indicator of managerial system efficiency. Models emerged that account for the interdependence of time, resources, and financial indicators, as well as the system’s ability to respond to deviations. A particularly significant role in this evolution was played by network methods </em>–<em> CPM and PERT </em>–<em> which laid the foundation for the critical path principle. The subsequent development of stochastic and fuzzy models made it possible to treat time not as a rigid constraint but as a variable management resource.</em></p> <p><em>In the digital era, the concept of duration is integrated with BIM modeling, KPI indicators, and analytical platforms that enable scenario planning, risk forecasting, and real-time schedule management. As a result, time ceases to be a passive element of control and transforms into an active management tool that ensures system flexibility and adaptability. Project duration is now regarded as the outcome of the interaction between technological, organizational, economic, and behavioral factors that determine the overall resilience of the construction process. In modern management, it becomes a criterion of enterprise maturity, reflecting not only the pace of task execution but also the quality of decision-making, communication efficiency, responsiveness to change, and the degree of digital integration.</em></p> <p><em>Thus, the current interpretation of duration in construction has shifted from a purely calendar-based perspective to a system-analytical one, where time is viewed as a strategic asset capable of enhancing enterprise competitiveness, ensuring project resilience, and supporting continuous industry development. The evolution of approaches to duration management demonstrates that the future of construction lies in the creation of adaptive, digitally driven systems in which duration becomes a key parameter of strategic planning, fully integrated into the overall architecture of project management.</em></p> Andriy BLONNYI Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 144 155 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).144-155 Assessment of trends and factors influencing the diversification of activities in the construction sector https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348063 <p><em>In today’s context of economic instability and global transformations, the construction industry faces the need for a profound restructuring of its development strategies. One of the key tools for ensuring the resilience and competitiveness of enterprises is the diversification of activities, which not only minimizes risks but also creates new growth vectors. This study focuses on assessing the trends and factors influencing the diversification process in the construction sector, as well as determining the role of digital technologies and the regulatory environment in this transformation. The article systematizes the main directions of diversification – horizontal, vertical, functional, and regional – and analyzes their interaction with both external and internal determinants. It examines the influence of public policy, institutional frameworks, technological innovation, and the level of digital maturity of enterprises on the intensity of diversification processes. It has been established that modern companies are shifting from narrowly specialized business models to multifunctional structures capable of operating simultaneously in construction, asset management, energy efficiency, and digital services. Particular attention is paid to the impact of digital transformation, especially the implementation of BIM, IoT, AI, ERP, and PMIS systems, which act as catalysts for functional diversification. The study proposes analytical formulas for measuring the level of institutional attractiveness, digital penetration, and adaptive elasticity of enterprises, allowing for a quantitative assessment of their diversification potential. It has been revealed that sustainable diversification is possible only when a balance is achieved between internal resources (financial, human, digital) and external challenges (economic, regulatory, technological). The findings indicate that diversification has evolved from a defensive response to an active strategic mechanism for development, where flexibility, analytics, and digital integration serve as key factors of long-term efficiency. The concept proposed in the article allows diversification to be viewed not merely as a reaction to external challenges but as a proactive tool for shaping the future of construction companies within the digital economy.</em></p> Anatoliy BOSHTAN Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 156 169 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).156-169 Formation of scientific foundations for system monitoring under conditions of spatial and functional transformation of urbanized areas https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348067 <p><em>System monitoring of urbanized areas emerges as a fundamental component of managing contemporary cities, where spatial and functional processes evolve with unprecedented speed and complexity.

Effective management in such an environment requires a shift from linear hierarchical systems to integrative models that combine flexibility, visual analytics, and lean production principles. The flexible integrative management model, built on the synergistic combination of SCRUM, BIM, and Lean approaches, provides a foundation for adaptive responses to the challenges of contemporary construction. It involves the interaction of three management levels: SCRUM – as a methodology for iterative planning and team collaboration; BIM – as a digital platform for coordination and data visualization; and Lean – as a concept of continuous improvement and waste elimination. This combination ensures a balance between decision-making speed, resource efficiency, and the quality of final results.</em></p> <p><em>The model is based on the principle of cyclical improvement: data obtained from the BIM platform are analyzed through the lens of Lean metrics and used to refine SCRUM iterations. This creates a continuous improvement loop where errors become an informational resource for development. The integrative system allows simultaneous control over time, cost, and quality indicators, forming an analytical basis for forecasting and risk management. In practice, such a model enhances project transparency, reduces conflicts, and accelerates managerial decision-making.</em></p> <p><em>The synergy of SCRUM, BIM, and Lean creates a collaborative decision-making environment where project participants interact through a unified digital model, and each team can respond promptly to changes. The integrative model not only eliminates duplication of functions but also fosters the emergence of new managerial roles – versatile professionals capable of combining technological, communicative, and analytical competencies. This forms the foundation for transitioning from fragmented structures to self-organizing teams and transforms project management into a continuous process of learning and adaptation.</em></p> <p><em>The integrative model of flexible management provides organizations with strategic stability and competitive advantage by enabling rapid adaptation to market changes, cost reduction, risk mitigation, and quality improvement. It represents not only a technological innovation but also a new managerial paradigm that unites flexibility, digital transparency, and system thinking in the field of construction management.</em></p> Bohdan SHCHERBAN Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 183 193 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).183-193 Ensuring system integration of participants in the investment and construction process, including investors, contractors, and stakeholders https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348072 <p><em>System integration of participants in the investment and construction process is a key condition for the efficiency of modern projects operating within a complex, multi-level environment characterized by numerous financial, technological, and social interconnections.

Such incentives act as moderators of economic behavior, directing economic agents toward adopting innovative decisions even under conditions of high uncertainty.</em></p> <p><em>The system of economic incentives is based on the combination of financial, tax, administrative, informational, and regulatory instruments. Its key characteristic is adaptability </em><em>–</em><em> the ability to respond to changing market and technological conditions.

Efficiency is treated as an integral function dependent on the level of digital maturity, the speed of data updates, and the system’s scenario adaptability.</em></p> <p><em>Thus, the use of ERP and BIM in industrial construction provides the foundation for establishing a digital management ecosystem in which decisions are based on reliable data, and processes are monitored in real time. This approach improves planning accuracy, enhances project resilience, and strengthens the competitiveness of the construction industry.</em></p> Oleksandr IVANYNA Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 364 378 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).364-378 Analysis of the structure and factors determining the economic parameters of multiproject interaction in the construction industry https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348215 <p><em>Multiproject interaction in the construction industry reflects a complex system of economic, financial, organizational, and temporal interconnections between projects within a unified portfolio. It forms a specific type of economic architecture in which the performance of each project is determined not in isolation, but through a network of mutual influences. The key factors defining the economic parameters of such a system include resource interdependence, joint financing, regulatory constraints, technological overlaps, and temporal correlations in project execution. Each of these factors manifests through synergistic or conflict effects that shape the dynamics of an enterprise’s financial stability.</em></p> <p><em>Effective management of multiproject interaction requires the application of a factor – structural approach that enables the quantitative description of nonlinear interactions among portfolio elements. The proposed model of integral efficiency E(t) treats financial outcomes as a function not only of individual project profitability but also of interdependence coefficients </em><em>δᵢⱼ</em><em>(t)</em><em>, which measure the strength of cross-influences between projects. This approach allows identifying both synergy effects (shared resource use, procurement optimization) and cannibalization effects (internal competition, resource overload).</em></p> <p><em>Of particular importance are cross-financial loadings that arise from fund transfers between projects to maintain liquidity. They play a dual role – providing short-term portfolio stabilization while simultaneously creating risks of long-term instability through depletion of internal reserves. The mathematical function of financial tension Fₙ</em><em>ᵗ</em><em>(t)</em><em> reflects the dynamics of these processes, accounting for time lags, compensatory flows, and the degree of mutual financial dependency among projects.</em></p> <p><em>Factor–structural analysis in multiproject systems serves as a key forecasting tool. It enables the identification of nodal portfolio elements where risks concentrate and the determination of critical points of destabilization. Its application lays the foundation for developing digital twins of construction enterprises and implementing analytical monitoring systems that ensure proactive risk management. Consequently, multiproject interaction is viewed not as a set of isolated processes but as a unified dynamic economic system whose efficiency depends on the coherence, adaptability, and resilience of its internal interconnections.</em></p> Myroslav POLZIKOV Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 379 392 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).379-392 Organization of technological processes when performing dismantling works of destroyed real estate objects https://ways.knuba.edu.ua/article/view/348216 <p><em>The article considers innovative methods of organizing technological and management processes when performing dismantling work on destroyed buildings and structures. This topic is relevant for the restoration of housing stock, industrial, administrative and commercial buildings, and infrastructure of settlements that were destroyed as a result of Russian military aggression. In this work, significant attention is paid to the technical aspects of dismantling, which ensure the effective implementation of the technological process, as well as environmental requirements aimed at decarbonization with a reduction in negative impact on the environment. Construction waste management methods are highlighted, which include recycling from: utilization, processing and reuse of the obtained raw materials. Optimal algorithms for performing dismantling work on structural elements are proposed, which take into account improved safety principles and minimize risks to people and the environment. An economic analysis of the effectiveness and environmental feasibility of using various dismantling methods and technologies is carried out, and their impact on the quality of secondary products is considered. Examples of the use of special equipment, inventory and robotic systems with remote control of dismantling work are given. The impact of organizational and technological solutions on the quality and speed of work and their environmental component is studied. The fundamental differences between traditional and modern dismantling methods are revealed with an emphasis on the implementation of integrated innovative approaches to work. The economic and environmental feasibility of using secondary resources in new construction projects as an element of a closed cycle that ensures sustainable development of community territories is proven.</em></p> <p><em>The results of the work can be used to develop local and regional plans for the restoration of territories, improve work technologies, and the regulatory framework, and form national and regional development strategies.</em></p> Ivan PEREGINETS Kostiantyn DIKAREV Olena KOVAL Artem KOVAL Copyright (c) 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 2 56 393 403 10.32347/2707-501x.2025.56(2).393-403
