 Precautionary Construction Management for Sustainability

ABSTRACT:
• Precautionary construction management for sustainability is most important thing.
Construction industry is one of the most significant industries that contribute toward
socio-economic growth especially to developing countries. The nature of the industry
are fragmented, unique and complex which always face chronic problems like time
overrun (70% of projects), cost overrun (average 14% of contract cost), and waste
generation (approximately 10% of material cost).
• It is also regarded as one of the largest polluters to our environment. Traditional
practices of construction process and management are found unable to control
unprecedented challenges including the carbon emission issue. This shows that the
construction industry has a major potential in the advancement of sustainable
development by addressing issues related to the economic, social, and environment.
• By adopting sustainable construction, it can reduce the overall energy use and
maximize potential for renewable energy supply, minimize waste, conserve water
resources, enhance water quality, incorporate water sensitive design and minimize
vulnerability to flooding, minimize polluting emissions to water, air and soil and
minimize noise and light pollution.
KEYWORDS:
Construction Waste, Cost Overrun, Green building, Issues in construction, Sustainable
construction, Time Overrun.

INTRODUCTION:
• The concept of sustainable development originated in the early 1980s and set guidance
measures for the correction of market failures, ensuring regenerative capacity of
renewable resources, avoidance of cumulative pollutions, steering product processes
towards greater eco-efficiency including the substitution of renewable resources and a
precautionary approach to development.
• The term sustainable development itself has many interpretations (Barrow, 1997;
Lutzkendorf and Lorenz, 2005). The most common and famous definition is defined
by the Brundtland Report (1987, p. 24) as: “Humanity has the ability to make
development sustainable to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
• This principle is a very important part of how to handle sustainability in practice when
scientific proof is interpreted differently or does not cover the actual issue. In Sweden
the principle was enshrined in the Swedish Environmental Code (2000).Sustainable
construction could be interpreted in many different ways. The term covers a broad and
complex interaction between involved stakeholders, aesthetic, and functionality and
material interactions.
• CIB (International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction)
defined sustainability in construction through the Agenda 21 for Sustainable
Construction as about reaching sustainable development through environmental, socio-
economic and cultural aspects. It is divided into three part

6
 1. Management and organization,
2. Product and building issues, and
3. Resources consumption.

METHODOLOGY OF WORK:
• Research is to contribute to a special field of issues with something unknown,
unpredictable, generalized and/or interdependent to the main body of knowledge.
To achieve this contribution in a systematic way it is essential to approach the
performance of the research with appropriate and scientifically approved methods
as explained by Atkin and Wing “Knowing which path to follow, which tools and
techniques to apply, and how to make sense of findings are the fundamental
prerequisites of good research and, likewise, good researchers ”To perform a
decent research Robson (2002) identifies five inter-related phases to design a
research:
1. Purpose –what is the achievement,
2. Theory –the theory which the study is based on including the design of research and
the analysis of findings
3. Research questions –what is the statement of possible findings and what the
expectation of these findings is
4. Methods –how to collect, analyse and validate the findings and how to show its
reliability
5. Sampling strategy –how, where and when the input data should be collected and
how the sample should be justified.

METHOD APPROACH:

7
During the performance of this research, a combination of method approaches were
adopted; literature reviews, development of assessment model and validation of
assessment model with case studies from different stages of the life-cycle of construction
works. This was done in a context of construction sustainability with client and project
manager perspective.

1.Literature review:
• Literature studies has been undertaken covering definitions and concepts of
sustainable development in general and sustainability in construction works in
particular. Further on, an overview of useful indicators of sustainability for
building construction, different assessment techniques and assessment tools
adapted to buildings and its performance are made. Finally, an overview of some
relevant management systems adapted to construction works is made.
• The literature covers international peer-reviewed journals, scientific reports,
conference proceedings from the Sustainable Building conference series, and
books. The literature review has been used as input for validating an assessment
model, which has been developed in the context of construction management
systems in line with concept of sustainable development.
• The validation was performed by means of case studies encompassing different
stages of construction works lifecycle. As visualized in Figure 2.3, sustainability in
construction works is by this research defined as a result of blending the context of
construction works, its associated management systems and the concept of
sustainable development

2.Model developing:
During the phase of model developing, an assessment model approach was developed
with respect to a client’s desired level of sustainability during a project process. It has
been developed with respect to present theories and practical usefulness. The
development process included a conceptual model containing purely environmental
aspects of construction work management (Persson, 2001) through a set of applications
where additions such as sustainability construction works concept, stakeholder analysis,
management systems and links to other facility developments or processes were added

8
(Persson, 2002; Persson, 2003; Persson and Olander, 2004; Persson et al, 2005; Persson et
al, 2008a; Persson et al, 2008b). The model is based on principles of environmental
management systems, i.e. as the principles of ISO 14001.
3.Conducting analysis
The analysis process is to validate the developed interdisciplinary process-orientated
model with the ISO 15392 (2008) and the terms derived from the literature studies. The
case studies’ different significant data were aimed to validate the model with the ISO
standard. The result of this validation is then put in a bigger context of sustainability of
construction works, derived from the literature studies, to be discussed if the findings
from the particular cases could be generalized to be valid to sustainability of construction
works entire life-cycle.

FIELD APPLICATIONS
I. Over the years, mankind’s development of a large industrial capacity and its
ability to create new technologies that turn easier society’s daily life has been a
mark of innovation era. In many developing industries, technologies are
incorporated into daily life by becoming indispensable to the modern lifestyle.
Waste production has been increasingly alarming throughout the world,
standing as a major problem to be solved. In order to achieve life quality and
be able to provide favourable environmental conditions to future generations, it
is indispensable to become conscious about environmental effects of all
mankind’s production activities.
II. It is vital to promote and encourage an environmental sustainability culture
development: meeting society’s demand of industrial and technological
products with the indispensable proper disposal of their products at the end of
life, that is, discard minimizing environmental impacts on the completion of its
life cycle. Some measures have been taken over recent years, with the intention
of minimizing the generation of environmentally hazardous waste in the world,
emphasizing the relevance of changes in production processes.
III. Methods for evaluating environmental performance of the construction
industry and increased competition in the industry and customer requirements
are also seen as elements boosters, which come to be added to increase
environmental awareness at the part of builders.
IV. Despite its recognized economic impacts to the country such as: high job
creation, income and viability of housing, infrastructure, roads and others; in
the construction sector one still lacks a firm policy for disposal of solid waste,
mainly in urban centres. The need to take the RCC not only results in a desire
to economize.
V. It is noteworthy that is necessary a change of culture among all those involved
in the process of IC, indicating the importance of preserving the environment
we live. Therefore, it is notorious the necessity of a mentality change in the
aspect of environmental sustainability at the IC sector’s stakeholders, in order
to fortify and develop a responsible conduct, aware of the relevance of
preserving and extracting as better as possible the environment’s resources

CONCLUSION
• Construction industry has been growing rapidly and plays a vital role in the
economic growth of accountry. It helps in improving the quality of life of its
citizens by providing the necessary socio-economic infrastructure such as roads,
hospitals, schools and other basic & enhanced facilities.
• However, it also generates implications to the environment and social aspect of
the country. Most of the projects are designed in a traditional manner without
consideration to energy & environmental impacts and natural resources
conservation which resulted in detrimental wastage affecting our ecological
integrity.
• The findings of the study could be divided in three parts. Firstly, on the
macrolevel, the progress towards sustainability in construction works is rather
slow, inspite of the short timescale before potential irreversible damage occurs
from climate change. In the long run it is not enough to sustain on the level of
present environmental depletion, it has to be a regenerative development.
• By these mean sit is time for action by transferring current and new knowledge
from the research community into an adaptive and practical framework for
implementation.
• It is essential to apply many-small-steps’ approach towards sustainability. The
proposed STURE method and the connection to STEPS maturity roadmap on a
corporate level and the combinations of the above-mentioned ISO-standards are a
way of structuring stakeholder demands or outcomes of expectancy
