The subject of the research is the behavior of buyers in the construction services market. The purpose of the scientific article is to identify patterns in the behavior of buyers in the construction industry and simulate future actions on the basis of the conducted statistical review. Methods of scientific cognition of research materials: in the process of research, the scientific method of cognition of the studied materials, the empirical method of cognition, deduction, analysis, synthesis and modeling were applied. The author of the scientific article connects the prospects of his research with the further development of certain aspects of modeling the construction market and market structures, as well as engineering and materials science, since it is in the Russian Federation that these directions in applied science are actively developing.
