ABSTRACT
During the construction phase of project delivery, careful attention has to be paid to both design strategies and construction opportunities to ensure that a project is delivered in a sustainable fashion. This chapter describes opportunities in the construction phase of project delivery that apply to infrastructure, building and industrial projects alike. The chapter begins with an overview of the changing nature of construction services, followed by a range of strategies that can be incorporated from pre-construction through to turnover of the project at the end of construction to improve project sustainability. It concludes with two case studies to illustrate these strategies in practice.
