The National Strategy for the Development of Construction Industry and Communal Services through 2030 provides a methodological and content forecast for this economic sector up to 2035. Strategic planning and strategizing in Russia have maintained their continuity since the 1920s. In fact, strategic planning became part of Soviet economics long before it appeared abroad as an independent science. However, contemporary researchers tent to overlook this fact. As a result, strategizing in Russia is regarded as a new area of economic science with an unformed methodology. This paradox complicates any attempts of objective assessment of new strategies. In this article, The National Strategy for the Development of Construction Industry and Communal Services through 2030 is described from the standpoint of its compliance with the methodology of strategizing, the interests of Russian society, the capabilities of the construction industry, and other important empirical aspects. Professor V. L. Kvint’s approach to strategizing made it possible to reveal such shortcomings as the inadequate structure, vague key elements, poor analysis of some factors that should be inherent to any strategy of this level, etc. The Strategy fails to meet the basic methodological requirements for strategizing in a number of aspects. Apparently, it cannot be applied effectively in the current context of the construction industry, considering the external threats to the national economy.
