The Integration of Lean Construction and Sustainable Construction: A Stakeholder Perspective in Analyzing Sustainable Lean Construction Strategies in Malaysia

The simultaneous implementations of Sustainable Construction (SC) and Lean Construction (LC) concepts/practices are feasible in a strategic approach to accomplish improvement in reducing waste, which resulted in both positive environment and economic outcomes. Although both concepts/practices are capable of attaining significant environmental and economical benefits, organizations still experiencing difficulty to integrate the concepts successfully. The literature indicates that the construction industry in many countries have encountered poor implementation and integration of both concepts. Therefore, this paper aims to lay the groundwork for future empirical study by investigating on various dimensions of SC and LC, where the theoretical and practical findings provided a foundation for integrating the two initiatives to yield the efficient use of valuable resources.
