Despite the fact that the completion of construction projects has a direct positive impact on the growth of the national and local economy, companies in the construction sector have a significant negative impact on the environment and people: they consume a huge amount of natural resources, emit pollutants into the atmosphere, produce a large amount of waste, and are exposed to hazards.  The resulting disruptions to the daily economic and social life of neighboring communities are (social costs) are given little attention at the stage of the construction tender. Alternative systems, such as social impact and cost estimation, cost-benefit analysis, economic and environmental assessment, proposed by practicing experts - such as social impact and cost estimation, cost-benefit analysis, economic and environmental assessment - do not fully account for these costs.  In this regard, it became necessary to find out why social costs are not taken into account at the pre-contract stage. This article is devoted to the importance of socially responsible management of construction projects, and also contains a call to take into account social costs when inviting a tender. The author concludes that the introduction of the principles of social responsibility can bring some economic, social and environmental benefits.
