More and more construction organizations, in order to quickly and timely respond to emerging changes, come to the realization of the need to standardize project management processes.

For this, an adapted Berkeley model was used to assess the maturity of project management in construction companies of the Republic of Kazakhstan, on the basis of which the intensity of the use of project management processes in construction projects was analyzed. In the article, depending on the tasks to be solved, methods of scientific abstraction, system analysis, comparative analysis, models of the project management maturity level, a quantitative survey method, etc. are used. The novelty and result of the study is the adapted Berkeley project management maturity model, combined with the processes of the PMBOK international project management standard, to assess the maturity of project management in the construction sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
