ABSTRACT
Decision-makers face the challenge of meeting the demands of sustainable development (SD). SD stands as dynamic regulative framework. Strategic management in real-estate development (RED) seeks decisions inducing SD. RED decisions are of high influence for the building process. RED needs guidelines and criteria for process control. Lifecycle, sociocultural and resource efficiency effects are to be linked amongst the different project phases. Target information and operational support for complex decisionmaking and organizational sustainability is needed. We suggest assessing the feedback loop of information and action amongst the stakeholder RED-investor-contractor. Results disclose two main findings. First, real estate and construction processes from production to end of life and reuse respectively recycling of real estate a have to be taken into consideration whilst assessing the demands of SD. Second, a regulative framework is identified as suitable to integrate different stakeholders and demands of SD amongst real estate and the construction processes over the whole lifecycle including recycling and recovery operations.
