The article investigates specific features of concrete mix and construction mortar preparation process implementation with regard to delivery conditions to the working zone of construction operation execution. The influence of mixing element kinematic parameters, medium structural-mechanical characteristics, and conveying system design parameters on technological property formation of mixtures during their movement is considered. The role of mixing regime influence on material rheological parameter formation determining pipeline transport intensity and subsequent application quality is demonstrated. Particular attention is given to mixture parameter requirements under building element layer-by-layer formation technology using 3D printing. The obtained results can be applied for mixing and feeding equipment operating parameter selection under various construction production conditions.
