This study evaluates modern methods for improving management efficiency in construction companies in Uzbekistan, addressing the challenges posed by dynamic industry demands and evolving practices. While existing research highlights management issues in construction, limited studies focus on the Uzbek context. This research aims to fill this gap by identifying effective strategies tailored to local industry needs. Using surveys and interviews with industry stakeholders, the study analyzes current practices and identifies key areas for improvement. Results propose strategic directions to enhance operational efficiency and decision-making processes. These findings offer practical implications for boosting competitiveness and sustainability in Uzbekistan's construction sector.
