Hence, Green Building Index (GBI) is introduced in Malaysia as a rating system that aims to promote the use of energy efficient. Sustainable construction in building development have been shown to have a clear positive impact on the environment, it has been highlighted as the current trend in environmental protection. However, different advantages and disadvantages are enticing and discouraging the contractors from implementing sustainable construction in their projects. Therefore, this study is conducted to determine the barriers in implementing sustainable construction among contractors in Malaysia. In attaining the objectives of this study, quantitative approach is adopted, where quantitative data is utilised in the methodology phase via questionnaire survey. The data collected were analysed using SPSS Software and presented in the form of descriptive analysis of mean, standard deviation and ranks. The findings of the study found that the main critical barrier faced among contractors in the application of sustainable construction in Malaysia is the sustainable construction requires more time and cost investment ranked as number 1 with the mean of 4.94 and standard deviation 0.243. Thus, this study has provided the initiative to overcoming the barriers in sustainable construction is significant to ensure the contractor can acquire the benefits from implementing sustainable construction.

“…The provision of vision statement on the reason to develop green building project by project owners is the most important indicator of owner commitment with the highest number of references (16 number). This indicator is most important because it expresses the project goals which are the objectives of the project owner and which are to be achieved by the project participants (Bornais, 2012;Ismail, et al, 2015). In addition, when project owners provide the vision statements for project participants, it can ensure successful delivery of green building projects in terms of high sustainability ratings, improved cost, quality and schedule performances .…”

“…However, the provision of vision statement stifles project participants from innovating, for instance, introducing more sustainable building solutions different from the vision statement (Palanisamy & Klotz, 2011).

The project owners' goals are also regarded as the reason for which they decide to develop green building projects (Anning, 2009).…”
