The paper deals with the development of electricity production in the Czech Republic and its consumption in the construction industry. The research specifies individual types of appliances - electric motors, lighting, heating, water heating and information technology in a selected newly constructed building. Construction machines with electric motors have been taken out of the itemized budget of the construction, their electric power input and time of their use have been determined. In order to determine other consumption, the equipment of a construction site, individual electrical appliances, their power input, number and time of their use have been proposed. Methods of consumption measuring and its division into the implementation costs of constructions in the way usual in the Czech Republic are presented. Furthermore the possibilities of optimizing electricity consumption costs within the project management by choosing a supplier and discussing other possible measures during the construction process have been considered.
