208 Architecture is an important component of the cultural space of a state, as it reflects its historical experience, social values, and spatial identity [1, p. 117]. In wartime, the destruction of buildings and the urban environment means not only material losses, but also a weakening of the community's connection to its own history and place [2]. That is why state policy in the field of architecture and construction today must be oriented not only towards the rapid restoration of damaged facilities, but also towards the formation of a high-quality, safe, and culturally meaningful environment. An important foundation for the implementation of such a policy is the existing regulatory and legal framework. The basis of regulation consists of the Law of Ukraine "On the Regulation of Urban Planning Activities" [3] and the Law of Ukraine "On Architectural Activities" [4], which define the legal principles of urban planning, the powers of architectural activities entities, the procedure for design, architectural supervision, and state control. In recent years, the construction sector has also been undergoing regulatory updates related to the reform of cost estimation rules, adaptation of technical requirements, and a gradual transition to new approaches in standardization [5]. A separate role in the development of the sector is played by the institutional mechanism of control, which must ensure compliance with legislation, transparency of procedures, and increased confidence in the construction process. Under martial law, the importance of state management in this area increases, since the effectiveness of reconstruction, the use of budget funds, and the attraction of international support depend precisely on the quality of coordination. At the same time, the issue of harmonizing national standards with the requirements of the European Union remains relevant, since European integration implies not only political rapprochement, but also the practical approximation of building standards to European approaches [5]. One of the most notable directions in updating state policy has been the digitalization of the construction sector. According to the data of the UNESBS (Unified Electronic System for Construction and Building Supervision), in the third quarter of 2025, the system registered 195,000 records of technical inventory, 37,300
