Abstract

All stages of the object's life cycle consistently address environmental safety issues of construction projects in accordance with legal requirements. The analysis of environmental security problems in practice necessitates the consideration of multidimensional environmental challenges, emphasizing the significance of the research in this area. In the development and implementation of projects, emphasis must be placed on the sustainable development of the construction site and the surrounding region. Sustainable development in the construction industry entails the practical fulfillment of a set of indicators, including environmental, social, and economic factors, at the required levels. This study aims to investigate project management issues in the construction industry across all stages of the lifecycle, with a focus on ensuring environmental safety. The study involved analyzing current trends and approaches to the environmental component of construction projects, developing a project for an automated construction waste management system in Russian cities, conducting a SWOT analysis of the digital control project for construction and demolition waste management, assessing the economic efficiency of implementing the digital control project, and creating an algorithm for managing construction projects while ensuring environmental safety. The findings of this study offer practical recommendations that may be useful for project managers and civil engineers in the construction industry for ensuring environmental safety during project management.
