Founded in the club's current form in 1962, the club was one of the leading clubs inSoviet League basketball. It was formed out of another team fromKyiv,SKIF, that was originally established in 1945.

Following the team's long period of success, a period of time in which the team declined ensued, and it was relegated to the lower Ukrainian division, due to financial problems. However, in 2006, the team was rescued by a group of businessmen who invested considerable resources into it, thus allowing it to return to the top league of Ukrainian basketball. Within two years, the team once again became one of the strongest teams in Ukraine, finishing second in the Ukrainian National League.
In March 2010, the management of Budivelnyk held a joint press conference with the CEO and President ofEuroleague Basketball Company,Jordi Bertomeu, announcing that they might join the EuroLeague in the next few years. Eventually, awildcard was conceded to the team for the2013–14 EuroLeague season.
