Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce this Special Issue of the journal Sustainability, entitled “Sustainable Construction Management Practices and Productivity (2nd Edition)”.
Sustainable construction aims to incorporate the concepts of sustainable development into conventional construction practices [1]. Thus, sustainable construction can be achieved by implementing sustainable development principles and practices in the construction industry [2]. On the other hand, the implementation of sustainable construction management practices could influence productivity in construction projects. However, thorough investigations of the effects of implementing sustainable construction practices on productivity in construction projects have not been carried out. Therefore, this Special Issue will identify and prioritize sustainable construction practices that help to enhance productivity and achieve sustainability in the built environment.
This Special Issue aims to explore sustainable construction practices and investigate their influence on the productivity of construction projects. The topics of this Special Issue are categorized under ‘applications of sustainability’, which is one of the broader topics included in the scope of the journal of Sustainability.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Green construction management practices;
- Sustainable construction management strategies;
- Framework for sustainable construction;
- Sustainable construction practices;
- Decision-making models for sustainable construction management;
- The effects of sustainable construction practices on labour productivity in construction;
- Modelling the relationship between sustainable construction management practices and productivity.
