Abstract

Sustainability practice has been introduced world widely across many industries including construction sector with the aims to balance between the development of country and our Mother Nature. However, despite having various benefits, this practice has not been widely implemented.

Therefore, this research has been conducted to identify what drive the organization to implement sustainable construction in their projects.

All the data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). Findings from the research explain that introduction series of tax incentives is the most significant driving factor for contractors to implement sustainable practices in construction industry.
