Its goals and objectives in the conditions of turbulent economy are outlined. Possible strategies for the development of construction clusters are justified and a system of indicators is developed, which includes four interrelated groups of indicators: “Production activities”, “Innovation activities”, “Partnerships”, “Staffing”.
