Implementing Construction Experience into Sustainable Design Management for Improvement of the Design Phase

Abstract

Construction projects are challenged in implementing sustainability issues which increases their complexity. For delivering a sustainable construction project it is necessary to gain insight into construction site experience and problems that occur during construction phase related with construction documentation. Therefore, a research is undertaken and a questionnaire was filled out by construction site managers. It is concluded that it is necessary to strengthen the quality of the project design phase. Also the project design phase needs a more coherent management of the design process that integrates the sustainability issues. Strengthening the knowledge base of the project design team on sustainability is a necessity in delivering high quality project documentation.
