Influential Sustainable Factors Towards Construction Industry Projects in United Arab Emirates

Abstract

The building sector in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is embracing a new trend known as sustainable development, which aims to improve the quality of life in the local area while reducing environmental impact. The purpose of this study is to identify the key barriers to implementation of sustainable building in the UAE, and to explore the influence of sustainable factors towards construction industry projects in the UAE. More than 550 people from a variety of businesses were asked to fill out a questionnaire. The survey was completed by 261 practitioners. In the UAE's construction business, there has been a significant increase in the number of sustainable construction projects, according to a statistical analysis. Project performance may improve as a result of sustainable elements, according to the findings of this study. Even though there has been an increase in public awareness, the study found that the sustainable elements still need to be improved across multiple stakeholder groups in order to reduce carbon emissions and support best practises, industry-wide, in the building business. The report proposed that the UAE government create federal legislation to ensure that sustainable principles are implemented by the construction industry.
