Introduction. It is obviously essential to form economic thinking among students with major in architecture. The notion of the cost effectiveness of the elements of the projected residential environment determines a comprehensive approach to the architectural planning of residential construction with due regard to: requirements for land use planning and urban development zoning, based on building types varying in their use, form of property, services, functionality, number of floors and quality classes; transport and pedestrian traffic, which provides an optimal access to the external supporting infrastructure; landscape planning requirements of sustainable environment. The practical relevance of methodological recommendations lies in the use of the algorithm for evaluating the facility under design, which provides for an effective model of economic development of residential construction. The purpose of methodological recommendations is to illustrate the cost effectiveness of the most appropriate design solution, which covers scientifically based estimation designing criteria in terms of cost indicators, results and the payback period of the implemented investment and construction project. The scientific novelty involves the development of the Algorithm as well as the Procedure for evaluation of a comprehensive cost-effective design model within the scope of architectural planning of residential areas. Materials and methods. The following materials were used: methodological recommendations, rules and regulations, regulations on the permitted use of land plots and capital structures of the Rules for land use and development, the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation, regulations on marginal construction costs. Within the scope of reviewing regulatory documents, methods of comparative and absolute effectiveness, the analysis and synthesis of methods for planning, designing and implementing remodeled and new architectural and construction facilities were applied. Results. Scientifically based proposals on the application of the Algorithm of organizational and methodical phases for comprehensive cost-effective modeling of a residence building. Conclusions. The hypothesis regarding the creation of an algorithm for evaluating cost effectiveness of residential construction development has been confirmed.
