development is forcing sectors to conduct self-assessments to evaluate where they
stand within the outline for sustainability. In which the author used both quantitative
and qualitative research approaches where quantitative process provides the data or
statistical information about the research topic. The qualitative method provided the
theoretical information about the sustainability in the construction sector and
researcher did not provide in-depth analysis which is one of the biggest drawbacks of
this paper.
