Abstract: Abstract The inclusion of sustainable development principles in project management is one of the main development scenarios for companies seeking to ensure their stability and investment attractiveness in the future. The purpose of this study is to develop an organizational and strategic model for managing sustainable construction projects using LEED (The Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) and BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) under conditions of uncertainty. The practical significance of the research results is that the solutions proposed in this work allow achieving sustainable construction goals in companies due to the proposed methods and tools of the project approach. The author used the Delphi method to assess the importance of sustainability criteria in China for LEED and BREEAM certification using anonymous questioning of 30 experts from interested parties. This study proposes a method for assessing the impact of elements of a turbulent environment on a sustainable construction project, which allows one to build a graph model of the mutual influence of the environment in the process of interaction with the project. The generated graph model, in contrast to the existing models, identifies many of the most vulnerable elements of the environment and allows simulating situations of turbulence in the environment of a sustainable construction project. The generated graph model confirms that the greater the potential of the node, the greater the influence of this element of the external environment on the parameters of the sustainable construction project. This study is of interest to those who form a policy and strategy for sustainable construction development, who ensure the development and implementation of sustainable construction projects, as well as scientists to supplement the methodological tools for assessing the effectiveness of these projects and the feasibility of their implementation.
