One of the indicators of the development of the industry is the level of expenditure on scientific research and experimental design work (R&D). According to data on this indicator, the construction industry lags far behind other sectors of the economy. For example, in the USA, the ratio of R&D costs in the field of construction to the total volume of construction works is 0.12%, while the ratio of all R&D costs to GDP (and it can be considered in all sectors of the economy) across the country is 2.4%. A similar situation is observed in other developed countries.

In the conditions of the market, construction, like all branches of the production sphere, acquires a new economic meaning associated with the free dynamics of capital and the free activity of each property object. Vertical industry connections, which prevailed in the administrative and planned economy, are being replaced by horizontal investor connections. Therefore, construction as an economic process represents the continuous investment activity of capital owners during the life cycles of the building or construction in which this capital was invested.
