Critical success factors of sustainable construction refers to factors which contributed to success of sustainable construction. According to research studies carried out by previous researchers, the six factors are factors related to project, project manager, project team, material and equipment, client and external factors. The sustainable construction development is still poor although opportunities and facilities to obtain renewable energy resources are exist in Malaysia. Therefore, development of framework which focused on the criteria of success factors in sustainable construction is essential to motivate developers and other construction parties to involve in sustainable construction in the country. Besides that, the objectives of this study are to identify the level of responses of group of critical success factors, to determine the relationship between the critical success factors with sustainable construction practices and prepare a framework of critical success factors of sustainable construction to achieve success in sustainable construction. This research study uses survey method for data collection process. Total of 180 questionnaires distributed to respondents which consists of contractors in location around Peninsular Malaysia. Total of 120 questionnaires or response rate of 66 per cent was successfully collected back. The research data have been analysed with descriptive analysis, path coefficient analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis and regression analysis. The research study conducted indicated that there are positive relationship between the list of critical success factors and the success of sustainable construction. Furthermore, all the success factors in this research study significantly predict the success of sustainable construction. For future studies, it is recommended that the targeted responses of this research study need to be expanded to authority, developers, consultants and suppliers of construction materials which will enhance the overall result of the research study. | en_US |
