| Summary: | Sustainable construction has led to changes in the complex environment of the
construction industry. Globalisation has created to a new paradigm of
sustainable practice resulting in growing demand for green construction and
sustainable development. Nevertheless, since the understanding of sustainable
construction in Malaysia is still in its infancy, quantity surveyors are struggling
to respond to the green demand. This paper investigates the challenges facing
quantity surveyors in managing green construction projects based on stages of
project development. The findings show that quantity surveyors face numerous
challenges brought by various factors during the management of these
projects. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge of the green building
environment by providing useful finding to serve as a reference for the
stakeholders within the industry and the quantity surveyor specifically in
entering green construction. |
