Abstract
The concept of sustainable construction and the definition also can be described
as “subset of sustainable development to the construction industry. It encompasses issues
such life cycle, procurement, site planning and organization, material selection, reuse,
recycle, waste and energy minimization.” The direct relationship between sustainable
development and construction industry is obvious as construction is the engine of
development. Perhaps sustaining development is more appropriate to be considered
along the lines of sustaining construction. This is so as construction are both business
and technical in nature. Thus the industry is very much a business and economic
concern, whilst the technical matters relates to the mechanics of delivering the business.
So if the sustainable development is literally taken as constraining development, it
connotes a negative impact to the industry.
