In many cases, construction objects differ in size, total area, number of floors, and materials used to manufacture structural elements, which leads to certain peculiarities in the pricing mechanism in construction, in particular in design and scientific design works. Construction objects according to a typical project will not have the same value depending on the location and local conditions of the construction site. In recent years, significant transformations have taken place in Ukraine in the field of pricing and assessment of the value of investment projects and programs. The development of market relations in Ukraine made it necessary to develop a modern methodology of pricing and cost management in construction, in particular, in determining the cost of design and scientific-project works, taking into account the best world experience and international standards. The efforts of many scientists and practitioners of Ukraine and abroad are aimed at solving this problem. The need to estimate the cost, design and scientific design works, as well as the construction of the object in general, arises in the early stages. However, at this stage, only approximate costs are determined, and as investigations are carried out and information is accumulated, new opportunities appear for calculating a more accurate estimate of the cost of the objects being designed. Therefore, the calculation of the cost of project works is mainly carried out individually according to the estimate, which specifies the scope of work, estimates, construction equipment and methods for specific types of work. Emphasizing the problems of the pricing system of project and scientific project works in our country, the organizational and economic problems of reducing the cost of investment and construction projects are considered. Including, by improving the efficiency of competitive selection of Investors, Contractors (construction agencies) and Suppliers of project products. An important issue is the issue of a comparative (market) approach to pricing in construction, in particular for design and research and design services. The market price is the prevailing price paid for project services in the project market for the relevant period in the sales process, regardless of the Manufacturer's individual costs. In the macroeconomic plan, prices are considered as the most important strategic criterion characterizing the market situation. Price changes are influenced by a number of price-forming factors. The basis of calculation procedures is the introduction of corrections for discrepancies between the object being evaluated and similar objects, the value of which is known. The same adjustments are permissible for a certain average market value. A significant problem remains the low level of practical use of project methodology. If the pricing policy is not properly formed, the project enterprise will not be able to achieve the intended goals; therefore, special attention should be paid to this issue.
