Technological Effectiveness

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.

Methods of quantitative evaluation of construction technology focussing on two major aspects of the production program of a construction enterprise are suggested. The above methods may be applied in quantitative and qualitative analysis of technology used in construction systems of buildings and structures. The quantitative analysis aims to evaluate the uniformity of the applied methods expressed by two indices ‐ an extent of size variation of building systems and their number. The qualitative aspect reflects technological solutions of building systems contained in the production programme of an enterprise. The quantitative aspect of the applied technologies may be described in terms of size dispersion of the applied building systems. A qualitative aspect of technology concerns the extent of building systems usage and the efficiency of technological solutions. The value of the first index may be obtained from the construction program of the construction enterprise, while that of the second may be determined by expert systems. The calculations of a typical case confirm the efficiency of the suggested approach.

The article is aimed at forming an express assessment of the level of economic security for a construction enterprise (which, unlike others, is based on an assessment of the level of efficiency of management of contractors and subcontractors) and the choice of a special package of measures to increase the level of economic security. The article analyzes the current state of the civil construction industry in Ukraine, market characteristics of this sector of the economy. There was a decline in the construction sector during 2020–2021, especially in the first half of 2021. Further, there is a slowdown in labor migration, some supply chains of building materials are interrupted; respectively, there is a need to resume economic activity. Also, theoretical studies of the authors allowed to highlight the main aspects of the formation of economic security of enterprise through the analysis of the relevant market and the dynamics of the civil construction industry. The relevance of creating an express assessment of the level of economic security of a construction enterprise is substantiated. An express assessment is proposed to be carried out on the basis of determining the level of efficiency of management of contractors and subcontractors – to what extent they adhere to the traditional policy of value and income formation. The assessment methodology includes four stages: questionnaire (containing 20 questions in four directions of evaluation); processing of questionnaire data (Delphi method is used); formation of an evaluation scale to determine the level of economic security of a construction enterprise; selection of a package of measures to improve the economic security of civil construction enterprises. The packages of measures to improve the economic security of civil construction enterprises are being developed for both the formal and the informal sectors. The authors believe that it is advisable to adapt the proposed package of measures to the characteristics of each individual enterprise using an individual approach. The proposed express assessment will allow monitoring the condition of the construction enterprise in a short time and identify latent crisis phenomena.

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.
