Abstract
<jats:p>The article explores modern approaches to the transformation of the licensing system and state control in the construction sector in the context of the digitalization of public administration, the need to restore infrastructure and increase the transparency of regulatory procedures. It is substantiated that the traditional model of administrative supervision, focused mainly on the formal verification of permits and business entities, is gradually losing its effectiveness in the context of the complexity of construction processes, the growth of the number of construction participants and the need for rapid but safe restoration of facilities. In this regard, the transition to a risk-oriented, data-centric and object-oriented model of regulation, which involves the use of digital tools, analytical mechanisms, electronic registers and monitoring systems throughout the entire life cycle of a construction facility, is becoming particularly relevant. The study identified key trends in the modernization of licensing in construction, including the introduction of a selective approach to licensing activities with a high level of risk, strengthening the personal and professional responsibility of performers, improving the procedures for verifying the qualification of participants in the construction process, as well as the integration of permitting and control procedures into the digital environment. Special attention is paid to the role of the Unified State Electronic System in the field of construction as a tool for ensuring transparency, traceability of decisions, automation of administrative procedures and accumulation of data for risk assessment. The article substantiates that effective control in construction should shift from a purely subject approach to object control, in which the central element of regulatory attention becomes not only the activities of a particular subject, but also the level of risk, technical complexity, social significance and potential consequences of the operation of a particular object. This approach allows optimizing the control load, concentrating state supervision resources on the most risky objects, reducing administrative pressure on bona fide market participants and at the same time increasing the level of construction safety. The international experience of applying risk-based regulation, digital platforms, professional certification and multi-level control in the construction sector is considered. Based on the analysis, conclusions are formulated on the feasibility of comprehensive modernization of the licensing and control system in construction by combining digitalization, selective licensing, object-oriented supervision, interdepartmental data integration and increasing the responsibility of participants in the construction process.</jats:p>
