Improving the Impact of Green Construction Management on the Quality of Highway Engineering Projects

Abstract

The implementation of green projects continues to encounter several challenges with regards to the project management techniques applied in different construction projects. This study aims to find out the relationship between green construction management and the quality of highway engineering projects, and to try to help innovators identify the best place to focus. This study adopted mixed research method where both quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used. The analysis techniques adopted included Pearson’s correlation, regression analysis, and Student’s t-test. The study found that the effect of financial issues, design codes and standards, and various risks will be the most effective green performance constructing strategies. It is revealed that there are eight determinants explained 77.5% of the variations in the quality of the highway engineering projects. The quality of highway engineering projects was expected to improve by 0.246 units for a unit change in the adoption of the green construction management. The research result will help stakeholders in improving the quality standards for highway engineering projects and help practitioners and experts in the construction project industry to better understand the relationship between green construction management and quality of highway engineering projects, and help them improve green construction management in an effort to promote sustainable development of project management. This research can be further studied in the future to expand the scope of data analysis to explain the differences in the level of social development.

The Success Factors of Green Construction Management Implementation on Building Projects

“…There are several main factors in implementing green construction, namely the role of managers, environmental management, training, construction equipment, ecological impacts, the part of the government, pollution control, energy use, research, and development. Several main factors of the green construction implementation process are divided into two main aspects: managerial and operational [12].…”

Evolutionary Game Research on Green Construction Considering Consumers’ Preference under Government Supervision

“…The research results showed that knowledge or skills such as schedule and management, stakeholder management, and communication management are very important. Xueying Wu [ 21 ] used a mixture of quantitative and qualitative research methods and Pearson correlation, regression analysis, and Student’s t-test analysis techniques to determine the relationship between green building management and highway engineering project quality. The study found that financial issues, design specifications and standards, and the impact of various risks are the most effective green performance building strategies.…”

Green Construction Practices: Ensuring Client Satisfaction Through Health and Safety Performance

“…The terms "green construction", "cleaner construction", and "sustainable construction", are frequently used interchangeably (Shurrab et al, 2019). GCPs can be de ned as practices undertaken with the intention of ensuring construction quality and safety, resources are conserved, and reducing the harmful effect of construction activities on the environment through energy management, land management, water savings, and materials management (Iqbal et The idea behind GCPs transcends the construction of buildings without posing any negative effect on the natural environment since it seeks to create conditions that ultimately lead to the improvement in the quality of the environment (Wu et al, 2019). Simply put, GCPs are a combination of attempts geared towards building in a responsible manner, while reducing waste, controlling material usage, managing energy use, managing stormwater, and preserving the environment.…”
