The relevance of the study is to identify the potential for creating innovative building materials that can improve the quality and efficiency of construction and furniture production. The purpose of the study is to analyse the market of sheet building materials, explore the possibilities of using plant materials in construction and furniture industry, and compare the properties of the latest building materials with the existing ones. The analysis of literature sources included a search and evaluation of new developments in the construction industry, as well as an analysis of statistical data on the production of architectural materials in Ukraine, using information resources and Internet search services. To evaluate the consumer properties of innovative building materials, the author used quality assessment methods using visual perception and special tools, in accordance with the established regulatory documentation. Important issues aimed at using resource-saving technologies in construction and developing the latest (environmentally-friendly) building materials are considered. The current state of the Ukrainian market of building sheet materials and the properties of industrial hemp are investigated in order to determine the most cost-effective use of hemp raw materials as an effective basis for the creation of building materials for various purposes. The suitability of the raw materials was determined and assessed, experimental samples of chipboards with different fillers were obtained, and the physical, mechanical and aesthetic characteristics of the finished products were investigated. The research will contribute to the development of the hemp processing industry, as well as enterprises that produce goods for various functional purposes from hemp, which will provide conditions for combining the agricultural sector and the construction industry, i.e. building a closed production cycle
