| Abstract |
One of the most important challenges in the construction industry is to develop projects covering all three dimensions of sustainability: economic, social, and environmental. However, the construction project management literature lacks clarity regarding the fundamental principles and effective strategies for implementing sustainability for on-site construction processes. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the sustainability dimensions in the construction sector, highlighting sustainability key performance indicators (KPIs) for on-site practices. The analysis stems from a systematic literature review sourced from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The search identified 17 environmental, 20 social, and 15 economic indicators, with the most relevant being those associated with key terms such as cost, profit, labor, customer satisfaction, community impact, resource utilization, and contaminant management. The theoretical implications of this study contribute a critical framework for integrating the sustainability dimensions into construction practices, advancing the industry's sustainability. For practitioners, the findings offer a prioritized guide to enhance on-site construction processes (O-SCP) sustainability and provide measurable KPIs for tracking progress toward sustainable development goals. This study not only sheds light on the current application of sustainability in O-SCP but also paves the way for future research to further this field. |
