There has been revealed a negative dynamics of growth in the volume of work performed by the «Construction» type of activities due to the rising prices for construction and installation work for the period analyzed (2005-2015), which indicates a low level of price competition in the construction market. As a result of the economic analysis of dynamics in labor productivity of workers employed in construction, due to the impact of factors of capital productivity and the capital-labor ratio of workers in 2010-2017, there has been revealed a negative trend of the process of degradation of the material and technical base of organizations in the “Construction” type of economic activities. This trend was confirmed by the results of the performed correlation and regression analysis for 2005-2017.
