The successful performance of construction enterprises as well as their competitiveness are largely determined by the construction technology and management methods used. In this respect two levels referring to a building or structure itself and to a construction enterprise as a whole should be distinguished. The technology of a building or structure embraces its construction system generally characterizing building materials, design solutions and load‐bearing structures and enclosures used in the construction of this particular building. The problem of selecting a general technological criterion for the whole construction enterprise arises. A construction enterprise fulfilling its annual program can simultaneously construct buildings and structures based on various construction systems, i.e. it can use various technologies. Searching for an integrated criterion to describe an enterprise as a whole three main issues including the variation of the applied technologies and their volumes and technological effectiveness should be taken into consideration. In the paper the problem of determining technological effectiveness of construction systems is considered. A method of pairwise comparison developed by T. Saaty was used to address this problem. The calculations were made for all thirteen technologies currently used in Lithuanian construction industry. Based on the suggested approach the weight of technological effectiveness was determined for each of them in the parts of one.

Introduction. Financial state of the construction enterprise, level of its financial stability, creditworthiness and liquidity depend on the availability of current assets, net cash flow (positive or negative), which is formed in the course of conducting payment transactions. The subject of the research is the flow of money of the construction enterprise. The research objectives: identifying the causes of current assets constraints at the construction industry enterprises; using projected cash flow budget and payment schedule as instruments of managing the enterprise cash flow. The purpose of the article is to determine the instruments for cash flow management of construction enterprises, taking into account the peculiarities of their activities. Method (methodology). The article suggests developing projected cash flow budgets and payment schedule to manage cash flows more efficiently (prevent negative net cash flow) based on estimates made by construction enterprises to determine the construction cost. The purpose of the payment schedule is to determine the flow of funds for the next day and the current week as a supplement and detailing of the projected cash flow budget. Research results. The use of the projected cash flow budget and payment schedule at the construction industry enterprises will help the management team to control the incoming and outgoing cash flows, form the data base for making decisions on the efficient use of funds. It will also promote the search for additional funding sources of the enterprise activity in the period of budget deficit as well as pre-justified investment of capital in the period of budgetary surplus Thus, the formation of projected cash flow budgets and payment schedule can be an important instrument for efficient cash flow management of construction enterprises. The method of formation of mutually agreed forecast budget of cash flow and payment calendar with definition of indicators of their efficiency in management of cash flows and a financial condition of the enterprise as a whole needs further improvement. The technique of forming mutually agreed projected cash flow budget and payment schedule along with the definition of their efficiency indicators in managing cash flows and the overall enterprise financial state requires further improvement.

The article explores the role and importance of outsourcing for managing business processes at enterprises of the construction industry. Since the main purpose of managing construction enterprises is to achieve high technical and economic indicators, compliance with the terms of construction of objects and their construction, ensuring an increase in profitability and profitability of operations in the long-term perspective. This is possible with the use of outsourcing, which, unlike subcontracting, is aimed at providing profitability by concentrating on the performance of priority activities for which the construction company has the highest level of competence. Also, outsourcing involves taking risks and responsibilities of an outsourcing company for the quality of running business processes. This is a significant difference from the subcontract works and allows forming the long-term competitive advantages of the construction enterprise.

Abstract The issue of cloud computing is a highly topical issue. Cloud computing represents a new model for information technology (IT) services based on the exploitation of Web (it represents a cloud) and other application platforms, as well as software as a service. In general, the exploitation of cloud computing in construction project management has several advantages, as demonstrated by several research reports. Currently, research quantifying the exploitation of cloud computing in the Slovak construction industry has not yet been carried out. The article discusses the issue of exploitation of cloud computing in construction project management in Slovakia. The main objective of the research is to confirm whether factors such as size of construction enterprise, owner of construction enterprise and participant of construction project have any impact on the exploitation level of cloud computing in construction project management. It includes confirmation of differences in use between different participants of the construction project or between construction enterprises broken down by size and shareholders.

The research is dedicated to the multi-structural model of the complex system at the construction enterprise as well as the model of structurally functional open production-and-economic system at the construction enterprise. The models are created for the acceptance of the justified managerial decisions and carrying out the applied research aimed at the efficiency of the construction enterprises functioning in the conditions of uncertainty, instability of the internal and external environment and heterogeneity of the indicators, which characterize the enterprise’s activity. The offered models are developed on the basis of the probability theory and the information theory; they are based on the principles of self-organization, openness of the complex systems, synergy and information-and-statistical approach. The concept of the open productive-and-economic system at the construction enterprise is considered, the content of the functions of the complex system at the construction enterprise is described, their stochastic and quasi-determined communications in the uniform information-and-statistical field of functioning are presented. Bit measurement for the whole set of functions, allowing to receive an adequate assessment of the complex open system behavior, is offered for further scientific and applied research, including the development of more exact forecasts and improvement of statistical heterogeneity of indicators.
