Sažetak
Transition is a global change of political, economic and social components of a society carried in more than 20 ex socialist countries. The paper briefly describes the present state of the transition process in some of those countries and it's influence on construction industry. Enclosed comparison of previous and actual statistical data for construction sector confirms trend of significant and rapid structural changes. The paper deals with the balance between present state, needs and capabilities of construction sector in transition economy. Necessary future qualitative changes within construction sector are described in the context of international standards and criteria. The roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders are commented including the presence of the better &#8211 ; ; ; bigger &#8211 ; ; ; faster syndrome and it is influencing the performance and competitiveness in both positive and negative ways. Significance of professional management at all levels of business, and particulary at project level, is particularly analyzed as a key point for introduction and implementation of necessary qualitative changes. Description include some issues that are presently designed and realized close to a satisfying level, but also some, such as competitiveness, sustainability, maintainability, flexibility, innovation, aplication of IT, as well as production cost and time, that are still far from final target value and therefore currently adversely influence construction business in transition economies. Based on results of research of that area in the final part of the paper some recomendations for improving process within construction sector in transition economies is proposed. In that way all stakeholders are strongly invited to support the process of qualitative changes to satisfy the expectations of the transition society, so business entities and individuals within construction sector, for development and progress.
