Construction issues in Ukraine are regulated by several laws, subordinate national and local legislation, as well as various construction regulations, which are not legally binding but are widely used in practice. In Latvia, construction issues are regulated by the Construction Law and subordinate regulatory acts. According to the classification of general economic activity in Latvia NACE 2nd edition, the economic type of activity “Construction” includes general and specialized construction of buildings and civil engineering structures. It includes new construction, repair works, reconstruction and renovation, assembly of prefabricated structures or structures on the construction site, as well as the construction of temporary structures. Compared to the products produced in the industrial sector, it must be concluded that several peculiarities or differences can be found in the products produced in the construction sector, which can be conditionally divided into several large groups: peculiarities of a technical nature, peculiarities of a legal and management nature, peculiarities of an economic nature, peculiarities of a social nature, as well as peculiarities of the surrounding environment. The authors of the research conclude that each group of construction product features contains sub-criteria for their evaluation. As a result of the research, groups of criteria will be developed, which will be applicable both in Latvia and Ukraine in the future
