This article examines innovative management practices and the key challenges faced by construction enterprises in Uzbekistan in the context of economic modernization and digital transformation. The construction sector plays a significant role in the national economy, yet the adoption of innovative management approaches remains limited compared to global standards. The study aims to analyze the current state of innovation-oriented management practices, identify institutional, technological, and human-related barriers, and assess their impact on organizational performance. Based on a qualitative and analytical research approach, the article synthesizes statistical data, policy documents, and academic sources to provide a comprehensive overview of innovation management in Uzbekistan’s construction industry. The findings reveal that while digital platforms and regulatory reforms have been introduced at the national level, construction enterprises face persistent challenges related to insufficient managerial competencies, limited financial resources, and weak integration of modern technologies. The article concludes by proposing strategic directions to enhance innovative management practices and improve the competitiveness of construction enterprises in Uzbekistan.
