The role of construction area in economics of Russia was analyzed. Construction is the key industry that influences the formation of the national economy. Main indicators that describe efficiency of activity of construction organizations were considered; analysis of number of indicators about activity of construction area was implemented; a group of organizations was chosen by using database “SPARK”; interrelationship between earnings and net profit was studied, comparative analysis between Ltd “Stroyregistr” and Closed Joint Stock Company “SEDO” is implemented. The main types of profit such as gross profit, profit on sales, before-tax profit and net profit were considered.

During the analysis of these organizations, it was revealed that the activity of Ltd “Stroyregistr” is more stable and successful compared to Closed Joint Stock Company “SEDO”, which showed a sharp decline in financial indicators in 2016. However, the value of profitability on net profit in Ltd “Stroyregistr” is lower than the industry average value, which is associated with a low value of the net profit.As a result, the reasons that influenced the low value of net profit were identified.
