The construction industry contributes to growth and economic
development in countries around the world, but it can also be wasteful
and environmentally damaging. Traditionally, the success of
construction projects is measured in term of time, cost, and quality;
however, due to changing clients’ demands and expectations and
complexity of projects, project goals are no longer limited to the
conventional three indicators. The introduction of sustainability
principle in every sector of the economy, especially through the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), has also
affected the measures of project success. There is the need for
construction projects to adopt sustainable principles such as reduce,
reuse, and recycle with a view to ensuring that projects are
economical, people oriented, environmentally friendly and technically
appropriate. Oke builds on years of knowledge and research providing a
comprehensive discussion on various metrics and variables for
measuring the success and performance of sustainable construction
projects; culminating in an essential text for various stakeholders
concerned with the management and administration of construction and
infrastructure projects in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction
and Operation (AECO) industry.
