Abstract

Construction sustainability performance is indispensable to the attainment of sustainable development. Various techniques and management skills have previously been developed to help improving sustainable performance from implementing construction projects. However, these techniques seem not being effectively implemented due to the fragmentation and poor coordination among various construction participants. There is a lack of consistency and holistic methods to help participants implementing sustainable construction practice at various stages of project realisation. This paper develops a framework of sustainability performance checklist to help understanding the major factors affecting a project sustainability performance across its life cycle. This framework enables all project parties to assess the project sustainability performance in a consistent and holistic way, thus improving the cooperation among all parties to attain satisfactory project sustainability performance.

Daugybe metodu ir valdymo igūdžiu buvo išpletoti ankstesniuose tyrimuose siekiant pagerinti darnu darbu vykdyma realizuojamuose statybos projektuose. Tačiau šie metodai nebuvo sekmingai pritaikyti del didelio susiskaldymo ir prasto koordinavimo tarp skirtingu statybos projektu dalyviu. Jaučiamas trūkumas logišku ir visa apimančiu metodu, kurie padetu skirtingiems dalyviams igyvendinti darnios statybos praktika ivairiose projekto igyvendinimo stadijose. Šiame straipsnyje išpletota darnaus darbu vykdymo katalogo struktūra, kuri pades nustatyti pagrindinius veiksnius, darančius poveiki darniam statybos projektu igyvendinimui ju gyvavimo cikluose. Ši katalogo struktūra leidžia visas projekto šalis ivertinti projekto vykdymo darnuma logišku ir visa apimančiu būdu, taip pat ji gerina šaliu bendradarbiavima, skatina siekti darnaus projektu igyvendinimo.
