Value of forest ecosystems’ natural potential is examined as composition of forest resources (timber and non-timber forest products) as natural capital. Also, value is examined as composition of environment-forming and social functions of forest objects as part of ecological potential of forest areas. Regional (national) richness includes all natural resources, all tangible and intangible assets made by nature and humanity in this region. By calculation results, value of forest resources (natural capital of forest ecosystems) is about 12-16% of total value of forest site for commercial forests of Middle Ural. Value of ecological potential is about 84-88% of total. It grows to 92-96% for protection forests. Natural potential of forest ecosystems is comparable to production potential of agriculture, mining or power generation.

Recently, the Russian construction materials market has been actively updated, with new types of goods appearing on it every year. This gave an impetus to the development of the entire construction industry in Russia, and also contributed to the technological renewal of construction sites. At the same time, the key stage in creating new technologies in construction is to protect products from unfair competition. The purpose of these studies was to develop a software product that could be used not only to quickly issue application materials for the grant of a patent of the Russian Federation for an invention or utility model but also to provide inventors with the necessary knowledge on the legal protection of intellectual property results.

Coronavirus COVID-19, exchange rate dynamics and other macroeconomic factors make the risk of implementing projects in the construction sector quite high and require effective management. This article analyzes the concept of key risk indicators in the construction industry. Key risk indicators help identify threats. Thanks to this, measures to eliminate them are taken in advance. It was found that the choice of key indicators depends not only on risks, but also on the strategies and objectives of companies. Correspondence of key indicators to key strategies helps the leader to obtain the necessary information to more effectively achieve goals.
