The environmental impact of a construction project can be influenced by decisions made well before work begins on site. Applying sustainable construction management principles allows project teams to consider sustainability during design development, procurement, and construction planning. Material choices, transportation, waste management, energy consumption, and construction methods may all require assessment. Early consideration provides greater flexibility to compare alternatives. This can support more informed decisions without separating sustainability from practical project requirements.
