The development of low-rise housing construction is a key priority in the Russian Federation due to its potential to increase the total volume of housing construction. An increase in the share of this type of construction is a goal set in federal programmes and projects in the field of housing policy. At the same time, in order to make low-rise housing more popular among the population, its constructional stages should be optimized both at the operational and technological levels. In this regard, the study is aimed at updating methodological approaches to the organization of low-rise housing construction by identifying critical points in the operational processes of construction works. The study was conducted using the methods of system analysis and empirical research. Relevant research publications by Rus-sian and foreign scientists on the topic were reviewed. The sequence of processes in low-rise hous-ing construction is considered with a detailed description of each stage. The analysis of the distin-guished stages allowed the authors to identify critical points and possible deviations, as well as the causes of deviations and possible preventive measures. Strategies for improving the quality of con-struction works are proposed. The determination of critical points and development of managerial strategies can ensure the effectiveness of the organisational mechanism applied during the implemen-tation of low-rise housing projects for developers.
