The construction industry is developing quite rapidly, new construction materials and software are appearing, employers’ requirements to personnel are toughening and, accordingly, there is a high outflow of qualified personnel from the industry. All this requires new approaches to personnel training both for the construction industry and for the economy of the country's regions as a whole. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to resolve the contradiction between the provision of the industry with workers and mid-level specialists and high rates of construction of objects based on new technologies and materials. The orientation of the system of vocational education to the formation of graduates' skills of real production, experience in the development and implementation of projects based on modern technologies of modeling the integral life cycle of construction is in demand.
