Price as a regulator of the market in the system of economic relations in construction
The economic and social transformations taking place in the country and regions are generally aimed at attaining the competitive market economy of the modern mixed type. They affected all aspects of social production and the branches of the national economy, incl. and construction. The current practice of pricing in construction focuses the attention of developers at the estimated price, with insufficient use of other elements of the market and the financial system as a whole. Including the average conditions and methods of production, it does not reflect the real costs of the contractor, but only characterizes the overall costs of the construction of the customer. Such a discrepancy between the price and the actual position during the construction works in the market conditions leads to loss-making, competitiveness and even ruin, which is fundamentally contrary to the interests of any commodity producer, such as construction enterprises. The article shows the main factors contributing to the acceleration of construction time.
