FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NETWORK ECOSYSTEM IN THE CONSTRUCTION ECONOMY

Abstract

The formation of cluster-network structures is a sign of the modern construction economy. Information and telecommunication technologies are spreading in this industry. They cause the integration of material production with new network structures. The construction complex is becoming a network ecosystem in which the sphere of production and the sphere of information support are connected. The article attempts to identify the features of new network structures. In particular, a network territorial cluster and its features that affect the development of construction are considered. The application of the ecosystem approach made it possible to show the complex nature of the network ecosystem. The network territorial cluster acts as a digital twin of the construction complex. The paper presents a number of positive processes arising from the collaboration of functional network systems. They show innovation and production integration. It forms an independent ecosystem and connects construction participants at two levels: material and production relations; information and communication links. The network ecosystem covers the entire cycle of construction work with information support. The paper shows that network territorial clusters are a progressive form of efficient use of resources in construction.
